When I was growing up in, let's say... The 80's... I spent a lot of time with my paternal grandparents. And they spent a lot of time drinking water out of Tervis tumblers with golf motifs (okay, my grandma's was probably gin and tonic). And so I always associated this beverage ware with retired folks. And I never really saw them anywhere else until five years or so ago when they started showing up in big displays at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. And at the International Home and Housewares Show, where I was working as a buyer. But apparently, Tervis hasn't lost any presence down here in its home state, coincidentally(?) land of many retired people. And I was nostalgically excited to stumble upon an entire Tervis store right on 5th Avenue.
American-made, lifetime guarantee, and now motifs for anyone you can imagine. Flowers, fish, sports teams, and various colorful patterns and kitschy sayings, of course. And also the following:
For kids and fans of Japanese cutesy stuff
For wedding parties
For partiers (beer pong, anyone?)
And for hipsters.
