Engraved Flasks
Engraved flasks are a “hip” gift for guys, a discrete and dashing way to take a little sip of spirits when he’s away from home or his favorite hangout. While the flask dates back to the Middle Ages and were first made from pig bladders, these diminutive decanters for alcohol have become increasingly popular thanks to the Prohibition era of the 1920s when drinking the hard stuff had to go undercover. Always a tasteful choice for men, a gift flask can be engraved with the recipient’s name, initials or monogram – even a special quote -- for a memorable touch. Plus, engraved flasks emblazoned with a guy’s name say “hands off”, this booze belongs to me!
Flasks for men are a common sighting at tailgate parties, campouts, stadium bleachers, ski slopes . . . and those ultra-boring business meetings (just ask Mad Men’s Don Draper). Fill ‘em up with scotch, vodka, whiskey or whatever whets the whistle; mixed drinks can even be shaken up inside engraved hip flasks – we’re thinking it’s time for a martini to-go!. Typically made of stainless steel, silver-plate or plastic, engraved flasks often contour slightly to fit comfortably and discreetly along the hip, thigh or boot top. Available in many styles and sizes, you are sure to find a gift flask that will match both his personality and thirst. From the classic, gleaming stainless-steel flask to handsome flasks for men wrapped in luxurious leather, these toast-worthy vessels will be received with vim and vigor. If you aren’t sure what size gift flask to purchase – 4ounce, 6 ounce, 8 ounce, and so on – consider how long the fellow’s outing will be. Obviously, the longer the event, the bigger the flask will need to be! If you are looking for a really unusual gift flask, you can create quite a stir with a flask-cigar case combo or a 2-chamber, 2-spigout flask.
