Hummingbird Glass Straws {Review}

Hummingbird Glass Straws {Review}

Did you know that the average person uses about 600 plastic straws every year? I didn’t know that, but I do know it can add up quick! And that’s part of the reason that the Hummingbird Glass Straws were invented. These are made from Pyrex glass in a variety of shapes and colors, in order to reduce the amount of plastic straws being used and tossed.

We are a small family-run company with a passion for the environment and helping people live happier and healthier lives. So we made two promises to ourselves and our customers when we started our business:

Our first promise— to do our part to reduce the number of plastic straws clogging up our oceans and landfills. We do this by offering our sustainable, non-toxic glass straws at a fair price so everyone can make the switch (eliminating about 600 plastic straws per person, per year), and by donating to causes that promote the recycling of plastics.

Our second promise— to always put our customers first. This means we insist upon quality — all our straws are made by hand in the U.S.A. of super-strong borosilicate glass (Pyrex) and every single one is fully inspected before we ship it. And because customer satisfaction is our top priority, we also offer a 100% money-back guarantee. 

We’re just simple, honest people who are trying to bring our skills and passion for the environment together to make a real difference.

First of all, let me tell you that these straws are beautiful. I went with a colored set because that’s my preference but they also offer clear straws as well as artisan straws which have frogs and lizards “hugging” your glass straw! It makes your drink seem fancy, even if it’s just lemon water or iced tea. 

And because they are made from Pyrex, which you probably use in your measuring cups or bake ware, you know these are quality items that are meant to last. These glass straws are available in several colors and widths, in case you use them for smoothies or milkshakes.

I love that I can drink out of my favorite blue straw while helping the environment at the same time. Plus, the company offers a lifetime guarantee on their products. Not to mention free shipping in the US and free international shipping on orders over $100! Great for the wallet and the planet.

I’m going to start taking them with me to restaurants, so I can still cut down on the number of straws that I’m responsible for using. Hummingbird does recommend you wrap them in a soft cloth before packing them in your purse or bag to help keep them from snagging. And they are dishwasher safe!! 

I couldn’t be happier about using my Hummingbird Glass Straws. Learn more for yourself on the Hummingbird Glass Straws website and connect with them on Facebook and Twitter too.
