Aladdin has Arrived!

New to all three Tin Box locations are Aladdin thermoses and travel mugs!
This warm beverage travel mug features double-walled construction and a securely sealing lid.
Creating high quality, durable, and innovative products since 1913, perhaps you have memories of your mom or dad's Aladdin thermos! In fact, the classic Aladdin Thermos' double walled construction was proven to keep beverages hot or cold for an entire 24 hours.
This stainless steel water bottle is guaranteed leak-proof, has a soft grip lid, and is car-cup friendly.
All Aladdin products are rust-proof and many include heavy duty handles and easy-pour stoppers. The materials used in their construction are environmentally friendly, and they are manufactured with a conscious effort to minimize any environmental impact during production processes.

This lovely flowery thermos is perfect for keeping beverages warm or cold all day.
A great reason to try one of these thermoses or travel mugs is that they will save you money by enabling easy and convenient transport of your meals to and from work or on any other travels! They will reduce (if not eliminate) the number of disposable cups that you use in a day, thereby directly reducing your impact on the environment as well.
This car cup is both microwave and dishwasher safe, and as well as being made of recycled materials, is recyclable.

 Stylish while tested for durability, Aladdin products are guaranteed to withstand heat and cold. Perfect for taking to work every day, or for taking on rugged hikes, we definitely recommend Aladdin!
