The Ultimate Stanley Cup Gift Guide

Stanley Cups are a trend that doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. While I don’t actually own a Stanley Cup, my obsession with Hydro Flasks in middle school makes me an honorary expert. I used to decorate my bottle with stickers, covering every inch of it. So, I understand the Stanley hype, as well as the need for accessories. 

Without accessories, you just have a Stanley Cup. Don’t get me wrong — they’re still cute on their own, but the accessories are what really makes them stand out and become unique. If I had a Stanley tumbler, it would definitely be pink, and I would get pink charms to hang all around it. Can you guess what my favorite color is? A plain Stanley Cup can be boring, so accessorizing is important. If you know someone with a barren Stanley Cup, this is the perfect list of accessories for them. Here are the ultimate Stanley cup gift guide for your hydrated bestie.

You can choose from a variety of colors, and engrave it with your friend’s name, or even something else, like their favorite sports team.
