The Retro Groomsmen Gift: Hip Flasks

When one hears the word 'flask,' the last thing that comes to mind is probably one used for scientific purposes. No, you're probably thinking of a hip flask that will make a great gift for your groomsmen. Our hip flasks are great quality and a unique idea for your groomsmen gifts. Personalize them at no additional cost and let the fun begin.

Traditional hip flasks were made of silver, pewter or sometimes even glass, but most modern flasks are constructed of stainless steel. When giving them as gifts most are engravable, like the ones featured here on our website. Some also include leather covering for better grip and more originality. Aside from genuine black leather wrapped flasks, smaller sizes are available in more vibrant colors.

Make your groomsmen feel like sophisticated gentlemen with a classic, old fashioned metal hip flask. The traditional design is contoured thin and curved, perfect to slide into a trouser pocket and fit snuggly against a thigh. Classic flask recommendations include our best selling monogram hip flask, which can be engraved in a more modern style with three monogram initials. For the whiskey drinker, our personalized Jack Daniel’s flask is also very popular. The well known logo is engraved onto the flask as a standard design along with a witty quote. Of course, your inscription of choice can be engraved on the bottom at no additional cost.

Add a touch of flair to the gift with a fresher look. Rather than giving out a plain old-fashioned square hip flask, consider something more original with a modern twist. Stick out from the crowd with an ever popular round flask instead, and add a clear window in the front to keep track of what you’re drinking and limit yourself. Or you can think outside the box and give a triangular shaped flask instead. It's more than abstract with its sleek design and is designed with you in mind--the vacant space in the middle provides an easier way for you to hold it. To really choose something above average, go with our millennium flask that's in the shape of a horn. Now that's really daring to be different.

Other unique ideas include a flask in the shape of a cell phone. Complete with buttons, a caller ID screen and an antennae, it's sure to conceal what you're trying to hide perfectly! You can also double the practicality with a cigar holder and flask. It may appear as if it's a double cigar holder, but the one side actually holds liquid. It's the perfect combination.

Flasks are not only useful, but great conversation starters, too. Even if your groomsmen aren't the biggest of drinkers, flasks are also great quality items that are sure to be remembered. Whatever style you choose or whatever the flask ends up being filled with, all are sure to please and commemorate your wedding.
