Moms want their kids' sippy cups to stand out from the crowd at daycare or on playdates, so these decals are the perfect stick. Trendy and unique, you can pick a pattern like flowers, clouds, rainbows, or stars, and customize the letters to match a child's initials. They're great for waterbottles since they are dishwasher safe, but also a fun way to customize a cell phone, ear buds, or laptop—so you should snag a few letters for mom, too.
