Stanley 1913 Reads

12.02.22 For weaver Justin Squizzero, craftsmanship is about more than simply creating something beautiful – it’s about forging a connection between material, maker and users across generations. From his farm in northern Vermont, Justin shares more about his craft and the value of manual processes with Stanley 1913's latest Loom Collection fueling the way.

THE FLOWSTATE(TM) QUENCHER H2.0 TUMBLER 08.29.22 The Quencher H2.0 FlowState(TM) Tumbler collection has arrived, and there’s a lot to cheer about— like the innovative, leak-resistant FlowState™ lid, recycled stainless steel body, and craveable colors. Whatever the day holds, this durable, vacuum-insulated Quencher H2.0 will become your constant hydration companion. Keep it close at work, school or the workout studio. Tuck it into your car’s cup holder for your commute or errands around town. Bring it along to the beach, park or pool. Why “H2.0”? The name is a twist on the chemical formula for water (H2O)—which is ideal for drinkware that’s devoted to keeping you hydrated. Making “H2.0” part of the name also helps differentiate these Quenchers from the original collection. STARTING AT THE TOP: STANLEY 1913's FLOWSTATE™ LID The FlowState™ lid screws on securely and features a rotating cover with three positions: 1) a straw opening that’s designed to resist splashes with a seal that keeps the reusable straw in place, 2) an opening for sipping or drinking your favorite drinks, and 3) a full-cover top with a silicone seal. Although the design is advanced, the FlowState™ lid is easy to clean. Just pop it on the top rack of your dishwasher or wash it by hand. (Your Quencher H2.0 is dishwasher safe.) AT THE HEART OF EVERY QUENCHER H2.0 As part of Stanley 1913's commitment to the environment, we constructed our Quencher H2.0 with 90% recycled stainless steel, giving a whole new meaning to reusable drinkware. And you can count on our legendary double-wall insulation to keep your favorite drinks fresh and cold for hours—or iced for a day or more. That’s not all. Every size is thoughtfully designed to comfortably fit your car’s cup holder. 14 oz – Our smallest and lightest Quencher H2.0, this one is perfect for deskside and bedside hydration. It’s also a great size for kids. 20 oz – You’ll appreciate this size for a variety of beverages: ice water, cold brew coffee, iced tea, breakfast smoothies and more. 30 oz – For greater hydration capacity, step up to the 30 oz size. And for easy grab and go, we included an ergonomic, comfort-grip handle with rounded corners. 40 oz – Our largest-sized Quencher H2.0 will keep you seriously hydrated all day long. And just like the 30 oz size, this one features the same ergonomic, comfort-grip handle. Check out our complete Quencher H2.0 lineup, which includes a wide range of nature-inspired shades. Also, keep an eye out for limited-edition seasonal colors. Happy sipping!

Happy employees are key to a successful company. Holidays, work anniversaries, and other significant events are all perfect opportunities to show your employees how much you value their contributions. A well-chosen gift can go a long way towards increasing employee morale and creating a positive work environment. With a bit of thoughtfulness, you can find the perfect way to show your appreciation. What Makes a Good Employee Gift? Employee gifts can be a great way to show appreciation for a job well done or build relationships with your team. Getting to know your team on a personal level will make it easier to find a gift that they will appreciate and use. Although it is important to show appreciation, it's also critical to avoid crossing lines that could be interpreted as favoritism or discrimination. A few tips to keep in mind when selecting an employee gift: Consider what is appropriate. A small token of appreciation is usually best, especially if you're not close with the person you're giving the gift to. A gift card is always a safe bet if you're unsure what to give. Asking the person what they would like is also a good idea. This shows that you are willing to put some thought into their present, and it guarantees they will receive something they want. When it comes to how much to spend, it's generally best to err on the side of caution. A modest gift is usually more appreciated than an extravagant one. Finally, it's crucial to maintain a professional relationship with your employees. Giving gifts should never be expected or required. In addition, avoid giving personal gifts that could be interpreted as inappropriate. With these guidelines in mind, you can use employee gifts to show appreciation and build strong working relationships. Water Bottles Water bottles are great gifts for employees who are always on the go. It's a practical and useful item they can take with them to the gym, a hike, or work. There are many different styles and designs to choose from, so you can find one that fits your employees' personalities. Generally, high-quality reusable water bottles cost anywhere from $25 to $60. Therefore, they are an affordable and eco-friendly option. A few popular options include: Tumblers — Tumblers are a perfect gift for employees who like to drink coffee or tea on their way to work. There are many different styles and designs to choose from, so you can find one that fits your employees' personalities. Vacuum bottles — Vacuum bottles offer superior insulation and are great for employees who like to take their time with their drinks, hot or cold. Stainless steel bottles — Stainless steel drinkware is durable and eco-friendly, making it an excellent choice for environmentally conscious employees. You can also personalize each of these travel ware items with the employee's initials, name, or your company logo. Mugs Most everyone enjoys a good cup of coffee or tea in their morning routine. Therefore, gifting mugs to your employees is a great way to show appreciation. Mugs are budget-friendly and come in various designs, colors, and styles. You can find mugs for every type of employee, from the coffee lover to the tea drinker. You can also find mugs with unique designs, such as funny sayings or pop culture references. If you want to take it a step further, you can personalize each mug with the employee's initials, name, or company logo. So, whether you choose to give out ceramic or steel travel mugs, your employees will surely appreciate this gift's thoughtfulness. Pens Pens are an understated but practical gift for employees. They are useful and can also be customized with company logos or messages, so you can have a little bit of fun with your branding. They usually aren't a costly gift, so you can purchase them in bulk. A few popular options include: Ballpoint pens — Ballpoint pens are the most common type of pen and can be used for various tasks. Gel pens — Gel pens offer a smooth writing experience and come in a variety of colors. Fountain pens — Fountain pens are a step up from ballpoint or gel pens and offer a more luxurious writing experience. No matter what type of pen you choose, your employees are in for a smooth new writing experience. Headphones Headphones are a perfect gift for employees who spend a lot of time on conference calls or working from home. While headphone prices can vary, there are some great options that won't break the bank. Popular options include: Earbuds — Earbuds are a convenient and affordable option. They can be stored in a pocket or purse and are great for use on the go. Over-ear headphones — Over-ear headphones offer the best sound quality but can be more expensive than other options. They are a good choice for employees who need to use their headphones for work. Noise-canceling headphones — Noise-cancelling headphones are perfect for employees who want to focus on their work and block out distractions. Ask your employees which type of headphones they would prefer and get them a pair that they will love. Gift Cards If you're unsure what type of gift to give, consider a Visa or Mastercard gift card, which can be used anywhere that accepts credit cards. Another option is to give a gift card to a specific store or restaurant, like Amazon, Target, or Starbucks. This way, your employees can use the card at their convenience and get precisely what they want. Either way, you can choose the amount you want to give, making gift cards a flexible option. Wellness Items Wellness items make a fantastic gift for employees because they promote relaxation and self-care. These items can include: Bath bombs and essential oils — Bath bombs and essential oils are a great way to help employees relax after a long day. Candles — Candles provide a relaxing ambiance and can be used to set the mood for relaxation. Workout equipment — Workout equipment is a great way to help employees stay active and healthy. There are endless possibilities when it comes to wellness items, and they don't have to cost an arm and a leg. Choose items that you think your employees would love and fit within your budget. Class Vouchers If you're looking for a way to help your employees bond, consider giving them class vouchers. These classes may include cooking, painting, dancing, and more. Class vouchers are a great way to encourage your employees to try new things and step out of their comfort zone. From embarking on an outdoor adventure to painting a masterpiece, there's a new adventure waiting for your team.

07.06.22 Glynn Rosenberg is a full-time artist based in Seattle, known for their impactful abstract florals and use of contrasting colors. Their work caught the eye of the team at Stanley 1913, who was excited to partner with Glynn on an original print for the 40 oz Adventure Quencher Travel Tumbler. The limited-edition Cream Floral Quencher showcases rhododendrons and poppies—two flowers you’ll see blooming in early summer throughout Seattle, where Stanley 1913 is headquartered. As part of this special launch, we talked with Glynn about the Quencher project, what inspires them, and what they want to share through their art. Stanley 1913: Where do you find inspiration for your art? Glynn: I draw inspiration from flower gardens, my community of artists, current events, and art history. One of my favorite things to do is take meandering walks, choosing my path based on where the flowers are blooming. I love finding trillium at the Washington Park Arboretum, exploring Volunteer Park’s late-summer dahlia garden and enjoying the lilacs at Cal Anderson Park. We are so lucky that Seattle is full of beautiful flowers year round. Organic forms are most inspiring to me. I love shapes found in nature, like teardrops and circles. Discovering repeating patterns on plants is like knowing a juicy secret. As for colors, I’m obsessed with teal and pink. Stanley 1913: What do you hope to communicate through your art? Glynn: My work is influenced by my lived experience navigating gender identity and my interest in socio-political issues. I tend to avoid depictions of struggle in my art. Instead, I’m drawn to imagery and colors that uplift and provide hope for the future. The ephemeral nature of flowers is always present. Flowers have so many parallels to our lives, where good things often feel like they never last long enough. Stanley 1913: What captured your interest about lending your artwork to a Stanley 1913 Quencher and what did you enjoy most about it? Glynn: I was excited about the opportunity to print my work on a product that people will use in their daily lives. I loved the challenge of perfecting my color scheme for this project and the special focus on linework. Stanley 1913: What would you like Quencher fans to take away from your creation? Glynn: The beauty of creating floral art is that the flowers themselves will fade and droop, but the art lasts much longer, reminding us of the fleeting beauty of the bloom season. I hope this Quencher will provide the joy of summer flowers year round.   To enjoy the enduring beauty of the limited-edition Cream Floral Quencher Travel Tumbler, be sure to sign up for in-stock notification. You can learn more about Glynn’s work on their website.

Discover Seattle's International District with Vivian Mak Artist and Seattleite Vivian Mak recently shared some of her favorite spots in the ID along with her community mural in the entryway of Uwajimaya Village. The mural was created in partnership with Urban Artworks, a non-profit engaging youth and communities in the creation of public art that inspires connections and honors their voices. "I wanted this mural to embody a sense of togetherness. I hope that those who pass by feel something from it. They might not know the symbolism behind it but I believe they will feel the energy from it,” Vivian says about the mural, pictured below. DISCOVER THE LARGEST JAPANESE SUPERMARKET IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST The Uwajimaya Village is an apartment community and mixed-used building connected to ID staple, the Uwajimaya supermarket. Uwajimaya was founded by Japanese entrepreneur Fujimatsu Moriguchi in 1928 as a small business in Tacoma, WA. Following World War II, Mr. Moriguchi anchored the family business in Seattle’s International District. After growing to four locations, Uwajimaya is now the largest Japanese supermarket in the Pacific Northwest and a great stop for food, books, gifts, and weekly grocery runs. This month and every month, we encourage you to seek out and support your local AAPI-owned businesses and share your discoveries with friends and family.

In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we’re shining a light on one of our favorite Seattle neighborhoods: the historic International District (ID). Located two miles away from Stanley 1913 headquarters, the ID includes Chinatown, Japantown, and Little Saigon, representative of the immigrant communities who formed the neighborhood in the early 1900s. It is a melting pot of cultures and history, with architecture that blends both Asian and American traditions. This diverse, culturally rich area is full of an array of shops, restaurants, green spaces, museums, historic landmarks, and other must-see attractions when visiting Seattle.

Outdoor adventuring may look and feel a bit different these days, but outside aficionados are finding ways to be one with nature and enjoy the outdoors. Whether you’re a traditional camper, a stargazer or waterfall chaser, clearly, there’s more than one way to camp. No matter your camping style, you’re going to get hungry – and thirsty – out there. Whether you are planning an overnight camp, a backyard camping experience with the family, or a glamping weekend getaway, Stanley 1913 camping cookware & gear is built for making high-quality, tasty meals and for sipping and swigging fire-side. Outside aficionado Nolan Berg shares his tips for preparing the perfect “Camp Cook Kit” to help you get “outside ready” this season.  *** Get Organized – Prepare a “Camp Cook” Kit If you’re like me, you love your gear just as much as the adventure. During the Winter, I organized and updated my camping gear kits. My system includes my beloved “Camp Cook Kit,” a must-have for every traditional and non-traditional camper. Cook Set Essentials for Your Camp Cook Kit This kit holds essential items that ensure my family and I enjoy a great meal. One of the biggest space savers is my Stanley 1913 Adventure Even-Heat Camp Pro Cook Set. It is compact and holds three high-quality pots and pans that allow you to control your heat and feel like an outdoor chef. I use this in combination with the bowls, plates and sporks from the Adventure Full Kitchen Base Camp Cook Set. This set is a perfect starting point for camp cooking because it has everything you need for making tasty meals - and it packs up into a nice compact bundle for storing when done with use.   Coffee Gear for Your Camp Cook Kit There is nothing better than a great cup of coffee first thing in the morning, but it’s that much better when you are sitting lakeside at your campsite on a Summer morning. My favorite coffee gear is the Classic Perfect-Brew Pour Over Set – easy to use, and brews great coffee anywhere your adventure brings you. Best of all, it is zero waste! When it comes to preparing coffee for on-the-go adventures, you need a great mug for enjoying hot coffee on a walk or kayak outing. I prefer my 20-oz. leakproof Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug for its sleek design and promise to keep my coffee hot for hours.   Barware Musts for Your Camp Cook Kit There’s no better way to unwind after a day of camping than with an adult beverage by the campfire. My Master Unbreakable Hip Flask is a must for those nights with either friends or family by the fire.  If you happened to forget to pack your bottle opener, try the Stanley 1913 Classic Bottle Opener Beer Stein – this smart stein has one built right in. Camping is that much more fun when you’re prepared. And when you’re done with your trip, bring your Camp Cook Kit into your home kitchen – all of your favorite gear can be used to make a mean meal at home, too! I’ll raise a stein to your camping adventures this season – have fun out there!
