The $5 Stanley Tumbler Dupe Is Back at Five Below (Get Yours ASAP!)

Anyone who’s anyone these days has a tumbler. What was once just a classification of drinkware has slowly evolved into a personal fashion accessory. These items are everywhere you turn, and their hold on the public is only growing tighter. From the office to the gym, to the beach and the classroom, you’d be hard-pressed to look around a crowd of people and not find at least one person carrying about a “tumbler” in their possession. Just like the key lanyards and silicone bracelets that came before it, these pieces of fashionable flair are inescapable — and rightfully so. 

For many people, the type of tumbler doesn’t matter. But for those who are really into the scene, the internet-famous Stanley tumbler is what stays on the top of everyone’s list of things to get when available. Unfortunately, getting your hands on one is harder than most people expect, leading us to go on the hunt for any dupes that offer the same level of greatness that the Stanley brand offers. Thankfully, that just became a little bit easier with Five Below’s lookalike Stanley tumblers that have been making a buzz on social media. 

TikTok user @ChaosKnight85 drew additional attention to the hydration cups after turning to social media to find out why his store could not seem to keep these items on the shelf. Calling the cups a “hot-seller” and noting that they would be gone by the next day, the employee didn’t realize that the cups were actually a much cheaper, duplicate version of the elusive 40-ounce Stanley Tumbler that has continuously sold out over the last couple of years.

The buzz doesn’t just stop there. This discounted cup — which is sold for just $5.00 — is a hard deal to pass up, given that the original Flowstate Tumbler has a whopping price tag of $45. Even @Hip2Save — the online source for deals, discounts, and coupons — took to their Instagram page to highlight this new Stanley-inspired replica that is flying off shelves.

I suppose the lesson in all of this is, if you can’t beat them, join them. And if you have to drink water, do it with a Stanley tumbler. And if you can’t find a Stanley one, do it with the cheaper, easier to find duplicate version found at Five Below!
