I need new waterbottles...

I need new waterbottles, anyone have suggestions. I don't mean brands, I'm looking to buy small batch fun designed bottles. (Think golden saddle cyclery, radavist, etc.)

Suggestions?

Ornot, Rapha, Twin Six, Cadence collection all have or had nice designs in the past. Like Donuts?-these are cool. Or just pick your favorite shop/brand/product to give them a plug.
Personally, I've had my eye on these, but keep telling myself I don't need new bottles, yet.

My favorite bottle to hate: camelbak podium chill. Keeps drinks colder longer , but comes in the most butt ugly designs.

I buy water bottles where I find them. The bottles I have been using lately are a starbucks bottle I found at joe's bikeshop in Baltimore and an R. Sachs bottle I bought at the Philadelphia bike show. Believe they were both from specialized. To me, they are cool and will use them till I lose them.

I like (really like) the Special__Ed bottles. Nothing fancy-schmancy. Just the regular ol' 24 oz bottles with the soft poppet valve. They work. They're dependable and they're cheap. I always buy 2 new ones every year -- adding them into the rotation. I now have about 20 or so bottles that I use on a regular basis. One or two of the older ones usually die within the year.

For me, there's something to be said for uniformity. My hand falls to the same place on the bottle and my teeth know what to expect when opening the valve. Don't even have to think about it.

TenSpeed Hero.

Or the Camelbak Podiums wherever you can get them. Love those things.

Love the Camelback Podium Chill and Ice bottles. They just work and keep drinks colder longer. I don't like the warm/hot drink that is in normal water bottles after a couple hour ride.
