5 ways to take your drink to go
From a personal blender to a hydration pack

1. Stojo 12 oz Cup ($15)
This reusable silicone cup — available in a rainbow of colors — flattens to a 2.5-inch disk that'll fit in a pocket. "It's truly that small." And it will pay for itself if you buy your coffee at a café that offers a bring-your-own-mug discount. Buy it at Amazon.
2. PopBabies Personal Blender ($37)

Built for cyclists, this is the perfect hydration pack to wear at a music festival, when you want to be "pared down to the essentials." It holds almost 3 liters of water and has a separate storage area for keys and other miscellany. Buy it at Camelbak.
