Second, I want products that are new and function well in my busy lifestyle. It seems that this blend of newstalgic is becoming a trend in the home accessory area.

New for 2013, Aladdin has jumped on the newstalgic trend. Making the classic from childhood new, the twist that draws many of us to the new Mason Jar Tumblers.

Personally, having grown up in the South, I remember drinking sweet tea from an old fashion mason jar. My grandmother and I would sit on the patio and have a quite afternoon together playing cards. Now, I can recall those memories as I sip from the new version of a Mason Jar Tumbler from Alladin.

Here's what you can expect from the Mason Tumbler Jars.

  • Classic metal lid, just like the original (plastic lid version, the is also available) No-sweat exterior thanks to double-wall insulation
  • Generous smoothie-sized straw, perfect for enjoying blended drinks
  • Single-serve compatible for making that perfect cup of instant java
  • Dishwasher safe and BPA free
  • The Classic blue version retails for $12.99
  • The Insulated version retails for $9.99.

The new Mason Tumbler is joined by the Insulated Diner Mug to complete a spring 2013 collection bursting with iconic items from Aladdin. Anyone who has sat in a diner and enjoyed a classic cup of coffee can related to this mug. The Insulated Diner Mug captures the look of the beloved ceramic diner mug, making it just as inviting as the original. With this version you can drink your cup of joe on the go without spills or breaks. The Insulated Diner Mug retails for $9.99.

With summer on the horizon, the old is new again. Grab a Mason Jar Tumbler or a Insulated Diner Mug and bring an old school memory to the table.
