SEMVIK Tumbler

Picture 3
I lived in Brasil for a couple of years, and everywhere I went I would see these stainless steel drinking glasses. No one could ever remember where they got them, because it had been so long since they had bought them. It took me a year and a half of searching before I finally stumbled across some at a hardware store for $0.25 each. I bought a dozen of them. I have been using them ever since and still love them, although the quality of them isn’t the best and some of them are starting to show some rust stains. The other day at Ikea in the bath section I again stumbled across the SEMVIK tumbler which is almost identical to the ones I bought in Brasil. The price is a little higher at $2 each, but for a cup that will last a lifetime, it’s worth it. I bought 4 and plan on buying a couple more next visit.

Available at Ikea for $2.

    All the ones I saw down there were aluminum and all dented and beat up. Stainless steel should hold up better with a lower alzheimer’s factor.

    Man, and I thought I was the only one who was obsessed with finding a great aluminum cup. Thanks a lot!

    Urban Outfitters actually has some really cool color/anodized ones that look similar to 50’s vintage ones:

    This SEMVIK thing rusts!
    I’ve the entire set of mug, soap holder, lotion dispenser, toothbrush holder. Within less than 2 months, they became rusty! My Crabtree lotion was ruin and contaminated with rust.
