Every time you refill a Cupanion product, the company gives clean water to a person in need. Each bottle comes with a bar code tag that connects to the “Fill it Forward app,” through which users can track how many times they’ve refilled and the amount of water that’s been donated. You can even just buy a sticker with a bar code and slap it on to your favorite water bottle at home! So far, the company has given over 4 million cups of water.

$15; Buy it here.

3. Product (RED) iPhone 11 Pro Case
