The strawsome site was easy to use and very straight forward with all necessary information. I love the sets of smoothie straws. Buying those will work for most everything, instead of having to buy more than one set. Now I just need to convince my husband about the price!! ;) I have been wondering about glass straws.

I have been trying to stay away from plastics as much as I can. Any information or products to help keep our children safe, is wonderful! Love the glass straws!

My favorite is the summer smoothie, even though I don't necessarily need a smoothie straw. I have checked out another website that sells glass straws, but these look really neat; I may have to justify the cost for a few soon!

A great gift idea as well. I do not yet have one as they seem like an "extra" but I know my daughter would love it. I like the teal appeal. I have seen these once before and think they are wonderful.

The decorations on many of them remind me of planets. :) My kids LOVE drinking from straws and although I avoid buying plastic, I finally broke down and bought them a box because I felt like I was depriving them. I had no idea there were plastic (or stainless) straws out there! I also use plastic for freezing and wish I had a better answer. I used glass jars for a while, but I found it hard to get the food back out if I didn't leave enough time to thaw fully before cooking time, plus I had several jars break. Oh, while I'm commenting, THANK YOU for the reviews on the Maryjane Butters books a while back! I checked them out from the library and they've got me spending more time outdoors this summer, even just for little domestic tasks like chopping dinner veggies at the picnic table instead of in the kitchen.

I was just looking at some stainless steel straws and hadn't thought about not being able to see inside if they were clean or not. I'm glad to hear the glass straws don't have to be babied. I think I'd have to pass on giving my 21 month old a glass straw for now as he chews on plastic straws but I'm pondering getting a pair of glass straws for my husband and I. Thank you for the review and I'll be crossing my fingers for the glass straw giveaway ;) Neat!

We don't use many straws in my household, but when we do these would be handy! My only issue with them is storage. We are a little messy, and I feel like they would get smashed somehow. Oh, and I checked out their website...kinda pricey! I don't think I could justify that expense, even though they are amazing! Ohhhh how neat!

Although I will have to keep an eye on my kids while they are drinking with these glass straws, I will be using them myself just to enjoy them, should I win one! The jewel-tone smoothie set caught my eye! I wish they sold them in bulk though! I cannot say how my husband gives me the eye when he sees me recycling even the plastic straws and other tiny plastic pieces that he thinks belongs in the regular trash! Fingers crossed, hope I win one so that I can get him to try it! Great article, very informing. Makes me realize how many straws we actually do go through (shame on us and the fast food industry!). Time to make some more changes... This sounds way too cool and very eco-friendly.
