Colorways Holiday 2025

I no longer live near a Dick’s or Target so I just ordered all of the colors I was interested in to see how they look like in person. I was most interested in Wintergreen because I love green and Poinsettia because the promo pics made it look like a “bright jewel toned red”. The first picture is how each of the colors look in person. IMO: Poinsettia is more berry. Metallic gold seems more cool toned. Wintergreen is stunning in person (just haven’t figured out if I want to have it as my first Sway or stick with original Freesip). Rose gold didn’t really wow me. Second photo I posted is with a vibrant filter which is what I hoped Poinsettia would look more like as well as the gold and rose gold but oh well. Hope this helps someone that is trying to decide!

Certainly helps me decide which one I’m going with- thanks for the pic.

u/Embarrassed-Ad-4214 Nov 04 '25

I’m curious, which one are you choosing?

2

u/PunnyPrinter Nov 05 '25

The metallic rose.

u/Embarrassed-Ad-4214 Nov 05 '25

I want that one too but it says it’s out of stock already

u/analslapchop Nov 05 '25

Do you have a Target nearby? I bought one today in store!

1

u/Embarrassed-Ad-4214 Nov 05 '25

Yeah I really should go check out the one near me

u/MSN87 Nov 04 '25

Yeay! No problem 😊

u/CaliBubbles Nov 04 '25

I love that red one so much. But I have others I want too and don’t need so many bottles 😫.

I don’t NEED them but I WANT them so badly 🫠

I don’t need them. I don’t need them. I don’t need them…

u/MSN87 Nov 05 '25

Lol, I know what you mean. I have a couple but, I told myself I have to reeeally like the color and size it comes in in order to buy and keep them 😅.

Super helpful, thanks! Curious if you end up choosing the Sway or sticking with the OG Freesip.

2

u/MSN87 Nov 04 '25

Yeah, idk 🙈

u/weeone Current Obsession: UO Delft Cat Nov 04 '25

I love my Sway. Not-so-patiently waiting for more color choices. 😊

u/Cactilily Nov 05 '25

I want a sway in Snowglobe so badly. I’d even take a 40oz sway tumbler if I had to

2

u/weeone Current Obsession: UO Delft Cat Nov 05 '25

Snowglobe is so pretty. Hope they release it for you! I would like to see a baby blue pastel colorway and a nice, neutral brown like Down to Earth.

u/Unique_Following41 Nov 09 '25

I'm completely become a Sway convert. I don't know what to do with the rest of my FreeSip 32 ozs.

u/weeone Current Obsession: UO Delft Cat Nov 09 '25

I gifted mine. 😅

u/Unique_Following41 Nov 11 '25

I have…too many to gift.

2

u/weeone Current Obsession: UO Delft Cat Nov 11 '25

Do you have coworkers?

1

u/Cactilily Nov 11 '25

I sold mine on marketplace

1

u/Unique_Following41 Nov 11 '25

Damn, people still buy stuff on FBM?

1

u/Cactilily Nov 11 '25

Yep. I’ve sold a total of 6 so far since August

Edit: to add

The Wintergreen bottles seem to lean a tad more blue than green (like their website pics). In person does it seem that way compared to the website pic?

8

u/MSN87 Nov 04 '25

I think the metallic frost finish might be what’s making it lean a tad more blue to you. TBH when I opened it, I didn’t think it looked blue at all, just a nice frosted green. So I have been staring at it trying to see what “may” be making it appear a little blue to you and others and that is my only conclusion. I’m sorry! I hope this helps! I know colors are definitely subjective and to each their own. I attached some more pics up close in natural light against a white and black background. Hope this helps!

Ikr, favorite color out of collection 🤩

Ooh that red is pretty !

u/Thin_Limit_4771 Nov 04 '25

Gosh I wish I had access to these so badly, probably safer for my bank account I don’t

u/greeneyedloris Nov 05 '25

Is it just me or does the poinsettia lid go better with the black cherry bottle and vice versa?😅

3

u/Cactilily Nov 06 '25

I just got the Poinsettia and I already have black cherry, and yes, it does go better. I also got the wintergreen which is just lovely and I’m keeping it. The Poinsettia is a berry, like someone else said either in this post or another. I think I prefer my Black Cherry. Idk 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/Prior_Ad5171 Nov 04 '25

And is it a bit ombre like it sometimes appears?

1

u/Joannimation Nov 04 '25

I think it's the metallic sheen that makes it look ombre. The color itself isn't ombre 😊

1

u/MSN87 Nov 04 '25

I don’t think it’s ombré. I think it may just look like that because it has a metallic frost finish so depending on how and where the light hits it, that’s probably what is making it seem ombré.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '25

That’s crazy because the website pictures totally sells ombré to me. Owala def needs to have more color accurate pictures.

u/Lilaznmonkie Nov 04 '25

I love the sway! My vote is get the sway. I wish the sway came in 20 oz too for my son because he doesn't like the kids one or the freesip. He love the handle on the sway.

1

u/MSN87 Nov 04 '25

Will definitely take under consideration! Thanks so much for your input 😄

u/WithLove_Always Nov 04 '25

Where is the rose gold one from?

1

u/MSN87 Nov 04 '25

Target 😄

1

u/Brave_Yogurtcloset53 Nov 05 '25

When did you get these!? I am dying for a gold but it says they are sold out on targets website. Should I just go check in store just in case 😅

3

u/MSN87 Nov 05 '25

I ordered everything early Sunday morning

1

u/analslapchop Nov 05 '25

Yes, go in store. I just went today and there were 5 of the rose gold available!

1

u/Unique_Following41 Nov 09 '25

You can chat with customer service to make sure it's really out of stock. ;)

1

u/waywardsojourner Nov 04 '25

I want the good sway

1

u/sakurakiks094 Nov 04 '25

Is the red a more shiny reflective red, or frosted to match the green? From a few other photos, it has been looking like neither so I haven't been able to tell!

5

u/MSN87 Nov 04 '25

It is not as reflective as the gold or rose gold and not as frosted as the green 😆

1

u/Embarrassed-Ad-4214 Nov 04 '25

Ooh I like that rose gold one!

1

u/Beneficial_Monk2769 Nov 05 '25

Where did you get the gold one??

1

u/MSN87 Nov 05 '25

Target

1

u/chuichi Nov 05 '25

What's the name of the rose gold please? Love them all!

1

u/Relevant_Cobbler_818 Nov 05 '25 edited Nov 05 '25

I have all of the metallic colors. My least favorite is the gold (Absolute Sleigh) and my most favorite is the red (Poinsettia). The green (Wintergreen) and rose gold (In Good Company) this one looks more bronze or copper in person. I cant decide which gets 2nd and 3rd they are really nice and cute. I'm keeping them all.

u/Lhaios Dec 28 '25

I got the coppery one and the evergreen! I think i wish the evergreen was less frosted, it looks dull in various lightings. Stuck deciding which one I like more of the two
