My Stanley

CELEBRATING 110 YEARS OF INNOVATIVE SPIRIT WITH STANLEY 09.05.23 Here at Stanley, we’re excited to celebrate and honor our 110th anniversary: 110 years of innovation, and 110 years of helping to build a more sustainable, less disposable life and world. It all started in 1913, when William Stanley, Jr., a physicist and engineer, created the first insulated all-steel vacuum bottle. His invention changed the way we keep our hots hot and our colds cold forever, and kicked off an incredible journey. While Stanley products have been loved by many and passed down over generations, we are inventing new technologies, materials and finishes so that every collection, limited editions and all, give you their best performance in every color imaginable.   THE EVOLUTION OF INNOVATION William Stanley, Jr. faced a very real problem back in 1913. How to keep his coffee hot all day at work. His invention of double-wall vacuum insulated steel was only the beginning. Since then, Stanley has taken a century’s worth of experience to expertly craft the iconic Hammertone Green finish, pour spout lids for easier filling and drinking, featherweight bottles and four-layer thermal technology that can keep a drink iced for 6 full days! Have you ever mentioned Stanley to a grandparent? Often, the durability of the Stanley Classic Bottle is the first thing to come to mind — stories passed down that include our products aiding early generations of medics and nurses by transporting medicine. And of course, the millions of mornings spent fishing, at campsites, and commuting to office desks around the world. While innovating new products at Stanley, we’ve been admiring your creative spirit. We love seeing Stanleys in the wild, holding everything from popsicles to pints of ice cream, and how you decorate your Quencher, too.   CONNECTING GENERATIONS Many Stanleys have been in the family for years, handed down over the years from grandparents, moms, dads, friends, sisters and more. Across categories, and across generations, Stanley means something to the people who own them, holding memories as well as they do your favorite drinks and more. Today Stanley is a household name, from vibrant colorways to unique finishes that are made to mix and match your everyday style. The Quencher H2.0 FlowState™ Tumbler might be a newer addition but it is, in every way, part of our journey. With special collaborations and limited editions in colors that pop and shine, moments of celebration are reflected in each new collection.   THE FUTURE While we’re proud of our past, we’re excited to step into a new era. We’re leading the way in sustainability and reusability, introducing recycled stainless steel designs and committing to use recycled stainless steel in at least 50 percent of our products by 2025. At Stanley, the future has your name on it. Stanley Create invites you to bring your imagination to customize your favorite Stanley bottles, tumblers, and barware. So you can make your Stanley as one of a kind as you are. And we’ve got more surprises coming, including new colorways and artist collaborations.   HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, STANLEY You can tell we’re excited for what tomorrow holds, even as we’re celebrating a milestone anniversary. We look forward to bringing you the same kind of innovation and quality of our first 110 years. It all started with William Stanley, Jr., and we’re proud to take his legacy into the future. Cheers to the next 110. Share your own Stanley stories, photos and memories with us and tag us on Instagram @stanley_brand.

HANGING WITH COVL AND THE NEW OUTSIDERS COLLECTION IN MIAMI 05.16.23 Say hello to COVL—a Miami-native and multidisciplinary artist. Inspired by her community, surroundings, and experiences, COVL works across mediums and sees just about anything as a potential canvas. Her use of color and movement is rooted in her vibrant Puerto Rican culture. And COVL isn’t just a name—it stands for Craft, Onward, Versatility and Lifestyle, the four things the artist works to bring to everything she does, showing that you don’t have to be one thing, you can be many. With her connection to color and culture, COVL and the backdrop of the vibrant city of Miami made the perfect subject for Stanley’s “New Outsiders” color collection of the summer. Like COVL’s art, the collection is original and authentic, playful and fluid—featuring patterns filled with motion and colors inspired by saturated blues, greens, citrons and sunsets. In other words, “New Outsiders” is right at home in Miami and in the hands of COVL and her community of creators. Stanley joined COVL and friends Naty, Blaire and Aldhair in Miami to talk about her art, influences, growing up there near the ocean and how it all shapes her creativity today. She shared some of her favorite local spots, from Adhair’s art studio to a neighborhood basketball court that has become another unusual canvas for her work. And, of course, the irresistible beaches of Miami where she comes to relax and be inspired. “Creativity for me has always meant that it's problem solving at its core. And if you're able to take an idea from just a really rough sketch all the way to the final execution, I think that itself is creativity.” “My favorite color depends on my mood. Right now, I'm in a green mood. A color that brings a lot of abundance, a color that really exemplifies nature. … I encapsulate or utilize a lot of warm tones like poppy reds, oranges, pinks, because I want people to feel embraced in the work that I do.” “The biggest thing for me is recognizing that to remain creative, I have to also give myself breaks and give myself space to live a life, to breathe, and just to simply be.” “COVL represents the four facets of what my work brings to the table and that's: Craft, Onward, Versatility, and Lifestyle.” “COVL represents the four facets of what my work brings to the table and that's: Craft, Onward, Versatility, and Lifestyle.” “COVL represents the four facets of what my work brings to the table and that's: Craft, Onward, Versatility, and Lifestyle.” “Growing up on Pennsylvania Avenue here in Miami and having access to the ocean has always influenced me to be more fluid, to be more adaptable, and being able to flex my creative muscles.” “I'm just seeing the culture here and the community of creators and artists is something that continuously inspires me because it shows me that our canvas can be anything.” Learn more about COVL here and check out Stanley’s New Outsiders Collection to inspire your summer.

When David Gilley purchased his first Stanley bottle, “I had high expectations that it would withstand the rigors involved and always perform. That was 1970. It did—and still does.” This year marks Mr. Gilley’s 50th anniversary as an avid outdoorsman and a guide in his home state of Virginia—as well as a Stanley superfan. On every trip to the Appalachian mountains, Mr. Gilley rises before dawn and fills his Stanley with hot coffee. Then at 9:30 a.m. high atop Big Walker or Peters Mountain, he enjoys his first cup with his “friend,” a ritual that has become a sacred moment for him. In recognition of his 50 years as a loyal Stanley customer, Mr. Gilley generously shared his story with us. Here are his heartfelt words: Stanley is the container of memories and the enduring gear that has survived many miles, mishaps and the worst of Mother Nature. Stanley is my reliable and always-ready friend, my companion that has never failed me, never disappointed me. And always reminding me during each cup how fortunate I am to experience the moment, the setting, the scenery, and the solitude. All of us at Stanley are deeply grateful for Mr. Gilley’s incredible support, and we are honored to be a part of his outdoor adventures. Here’s to many more, Mr. Gilley!

Outdoor adventuring may look and feel a bit different these days, but outside aficionados are finding ways to be one with nature and enjoy the outdoors. Whether you’re a traditional camper, a stargazer or waterfall chaser, clearly, there’s more than one way to camp. No matter your camping style, you’re going to get hungry – and thirsty – out there. Whether you are planning an overnight camp, a backyard camping experience with the family, or a glamping weekend getaway, Stanley camping cookware & gear is built for making high-quality, tasty meals and for sipping and swigging fire-side. Outside aficionado Nolan Berg shares his tips for preparing the perfect “Camp Cook Kit” to help you get “outside ready” this season.  *** Get Organized – Prepare a “Camp Cook” Kit If you’re like me, you love your gear just as much as the adventure. During the Winter, I organized and updated my camping gear kits. My system includes my beloved “Camp Cook Kit,” a must-have for every traditional and non-traditional camper. Cook Set Essentials for Your Camp Cook Kit This kit holds essential items that ensure my family and I enjoy a great meal. One of the biggest space savers is my Stanley Adventure Even-Heat Camp Pro Cook Set. It is compact and holds three high-quality pots and pans that allow you to control your heat and feel like an outdoor chef. I use this in combination with the bowls, plates and sporks from the Adventure Full Kitchen Base Camp Cook Set. This set is a perfect starting point for camp cooking because it has everything you need for making tasty meals - and it packs up into a nice compact bundle for storing when done with use.   Coffee Gear for Your Camp Cook Kit There is nothing better than a great cup of coffee first thing in the morning, but it’s that much better when you are sitting lakeside at your campsite on a Summer morning. My favorite coffee gear is the Classic Perfect-Brew Pour Over Set – easy to use, and brews great coffee anywhere your adventure brings you. Best of all, it is zero waste! When it comes to preparing coffee for on-the-go adventures, you need a great mug for enjoying hot coffee on a walk or kayak outing. I prefer my 20-oz. leakproof Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug for its sleek design and promise to keep my coffee hot for hours.   Barware Musts for Your Camp Cook Kit There’s no better way to unwind after a day of camping than with an adult beverage by the campfire. My Master Unbreakable Hip Flask is a must for those nights with either friends or family by the fire.  If you happened to forget to pack your bottle opener, try the Stanley Classic Bottle Opener Beer Stein – this smart stein has one built right in. Camping is that much more fun when you’re prepared. And when you’re done with your trip, bring your Camp Cook Kit into your home kitchen – all of your favorite gear can be used to make a mean meal at home, too! I’ll raise a stein to your camping adventures this season – have fun out there!
