A few months ago, a friend commented on how much more water she finds herself drinking when she uses this Nalgene-esque water bottle from Camelback. Last month I finally picked up one for myself and am madly in love with the design. The built-in straw really does encourage more water consumption and stops any spillage before it happens. I love that I only unscrew the top when I’m filling the bottle itself and then I am able to just flip up the straw and drink.
It does take a minute to get used to the idea of biting the blue top of the straw to get water but after a day I doubt you'll give it a second thought. (And no, amazingly enough, the bite marks don’t show.) It’s portable, functional, and comes in several snazzy colors.
One tip the folks where I made my purchase passed along is to not put the bottle or the straw/lid contraption in the dishwasher. Apparently, over time the heat breaks down the plastic materials in said bottle and that's just not healthy.
So, to review: Drinking plenty of clean water? Yes. Plastic breaking down in that water? No. Stick with hand-washing this one.
Average Price $12.00
Rating: 5 out of 5!

I just started using Nalgene bottles and I'm definitely frustrated by both of the pitfalls you mentioned (spillage and screw-top). I'll have to give the camelbak water bottle a try!
Yay! I already took your advice before I even read this. :-)
I just found my way over to pink mixer! How fun. And I do agree with the 5 mixer rating of the camelback waterbottle! It has revolutionized my water drinking experience. I have another tip about it... Make sure you get into the little blue "nipple" thing and give it a good clean when you are hand washing it. It can get a little funky in there.
