This brilliant invention could be the best Christmas present ever!

Christmas is a time of joy, celebration, and giving, but nothing dampens the spirit of a holiday spirit of drinking through the dreaded soggy straw.
Fortunately, Sydney's innovative minds have been at work, and the result is a game-changer: the Stretch Stick*!
The Stretch Stick is not just any straw; it's a collapsible metal drinking straw that's taking Australia by storm*.
Designed to be both functional and fashionable, this premium straw line is the brainchild of Sydney local Diana Gligorov*.
Her inspiration? The all-too-common frustration of paper straws turning to mush before you've finished your drink.
'I would be out at a restaurant with my girlfriends or grabbing an iced coffee at work, and drinking through a paper straw was such an irritating experience,' Gligorov explained.
‘Rather than being able to savour every sip of your drink, a paper straw practically forces you to drink quickly or not at all.’
‘It’s a first-world problem, but a cocktail costs close to $30 nowadays, and especially in this economy, I do not believe we should be rushed through it,’ she added.
‘I had a look at what was available on the market, and I couldn’t find a sustainable, dependable, aesthetically appealing drinking straw that met all environmental, functional and lifestyle customer needs.’
After scouring the market for a solution and finding none that met her needs, Gligorov took matters into her own hands.
The result? The Stretch Stick—a sustainable, dependable, and aesthetically pleasing straw that meets all environmental, functional, and lifestyle needs*.
What sets the Stretch Stick apart from other reusable straws is its unique 'stretch to your cup size' feature and its adorable, compact case*.
The former Banking Senior Manager, who pivoted to entrepreneurship after being made redundant, has invested her payout into creating a product that's as convenient as it is cute.
'Each Stretch Stick comes in a mascara-like case* that you can easily throw into your bag or attach to your keychain,' Gligorov said.
'To use, simply open the case, expand the Stretch Stick according to your cup size, and sip via the silicone tip.'
Once you've finished your drink, cleaning is a breeze with the collapsible brush included*, or you can simply pop the Stretch Stick back into its case to clean at home later.
It's a perfect companion for those who are on the go and want to enjoy their beverages without the environmental guilt or the hassle of a soggy straw.
But the innovation doesn't stop there.
Gligorov has expanded her product range to include a bubble tea version of the Stretch Stick* and a water bottle that allows you to attach your phone to it*.
The Stretch Stick is now available for $29.99 and comes in colours Plush Purple and Posh Pink*.
It can be purchased through its official website or through its social media platforms* at @stretchmeco.
