Check Online to Buy Classy and Stylish Hip FlasksPosted by The Engraved Gifts Company on December 11th, 2015 Are you looking for a compact hip flask to carry your favourite tipple when you are travelling? Or, do you want to gift something classy yet useful to a friend? Hip flasks are a great way to carry your liquor when you are on the road. These flasks come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials and are also great for gifting. Usually, hip flasks are available in stores including liquor shops if you prefer buying things the old way. But, if you want to get the best product from a larger range of choices and yet don’t want to waste time browsing store after store, then ordering these trendy flasks online is the way to go. A lot of websites, especially those that focus on gift items, store an amazing range of hip flasks that are not available in the standard stores. The variation in material, size and style and customisation options make these sites a favourite among hip flask shoppers. Let’s take a look at the different materials and see which ones you can buy. Wood Flasks: Not many people talk about these kind of flasks but they are worth the penny, especially for their unique value proposition. The wooden ones have been carried around for quite a few centuries ever since men discovered the potent carrying capabilities of the amber fluid. These hip flasks are now manufactured mostly as collector’s items since these are not as compact as steel flasks and can be heavy as well. However, they have an old world charm and are generally encased in silver or steel to give them a better visual appeal. Steel Flasks: Steel hip flasks are the most popular ones. These are rust-proof, water-resistant and also allow the water or liquor to be stored for a considerably longer period. These flasks are quite versatile apart from being extremely stylish and sleek. Another great advantage of using a steel hip flask is the fact that they are also temperature insulated to a certain extent. That way your drink retains its temperature up to almost 12 hours. Leather Flasks: Leather flasks use stainless steel on the inside that is then encased in leather. They are a throwback to the ancient ways of carrying liquor in leather bags and pouches. These have that classic vintage look and are available in various textures depending upon the leather used. Like the wooden flasks, they make good gifting items for decor, if not for regular use. In fact, buying a few wooden and leather flasks for the bar gives it quite a ‘hip’ feel. Pewter Flasks: These flasks were popular in the earlier years and are now generally used for that unique factor. Nonetheless, true aficionados will attest that these flasks are the best of the lot. Pewter does not react with the alcohol and also keeps the liquor cool for a longer period of time. Nearly all gifting websites will store some options of pewter flasks. You can never go wrong with these flasks. Silver or Gold Flasks: Silver was the common material to use when hip flasks were made earlier. However, this precious material is not used that often anymore. Gold flasks are gold-plated flasks and not made of pure gold as that would be quite pricey, to say the least. In addition to the material, hip flasks come in a variety of shapes. You get the standard pocket flask designed to fit your pants pocket, upper pocket flasks that are ideal to keep in your shirt pocket, key ring flasks that are smaller and can contain 1 oz of liquor, round hip flasks, specially shaped ones like a cartridge or a bottle, etc. It is a good idea to check the hundreds of samples available online and select the ones you like best. If you are up for it, you can actually start a collection of these beautiful, classy and stylish hip flasks. About The Author:
