One of my worst habits, or lack of habit, to be more precise, is drinking enough water. Now that it's on my list of "Make sure you do this," along with taking vitamins, eating more fiber, and cutting down on table salt, you know I'm going to go to my usual OCD addictive extreme and drink too much water.
Sportline's Hyrdo Water Bottle is like a portable water drinking coach that reminds you to drink water because you're carrying it with you, and tells you how much water you really need with a built-in "hydration calculator." Based on your height and weight, you may find that the optimal amount may not even be 8 to 10 glasses. The "Sip Tracker" feature can track how much water you're taking in over the course of the day, so you don't over- or underdo it.
Available from the HydraCoach website for $29.95. For that much cash for a water bottle, you better believe I'll be making good use of it!

You could just use a 1 liter Nalgene bottle and monitor your urine color (yes, seriously: http://nordicdreams.blogspot.com/2007/02/get-to-know-your-pee.html) to tell if you are over/under/properly hydrated. Monitor with your intake and you'll learn how much to drink on average.

of course dhs is right that there are less consumerist ways to monitor water intake, but i think this is a good gift for those people who have everything.
