Buying
Christmas presents is certainly not for the faint-hearted. At best, it entails
a certain level of frustration: should you regift a bottle of dusty wine at the
back of your pantry for your in-laws. At worst, it can cause panic especially
when you realize that you may have to brave the crowds (and cold) to find that
elusive trinket your mother has been sending you not-so-subtle hints about. All
in all, it is a frustrating affair, but the question remains – what makes a
good Christmas present? Unequivocally, the answer is that hip flasks as
Christmas gifts are worth every penny! If you are still not convinced, read our
non-exhaustive list of reasons why a hip flask will bring a smile to the recipient’s
face!
Hip
Flasks Can Be Personalized
Humans
have a strong need for belonging and feeling special. By gifting hip flasks,
you can show your loved ones how much you care for them. You can choose how you
wish to engrave
the hip flask – typically the place you buy the hip flask should offer this
service for a fee. However, if you personally know of any metallic (or wood, if
your hip flask is coated with that material) engraving service near your
residence, you can always opt for that. You can engrave just about anything!
Full names are common but if you are gifting a physician or a person with a
doctorate, the “Dr” behind their name can be really validating. For your
significant other, a memorable date might be meaningful.
Hip Flasks
Come in a Variety of Styles
Gone are
the days when hip flasks are appropriate only for men. While they were
traditionally meant to be worn on belts or put in a suit pocket, these days
they are also suitable to be carried in bags owing to their slim fit. If your
recipient is someone in love with glitz and sparkles, this heart-patterned
rhinestone hip flask might just have them seeing you with hearts
in their eyes! For a more sedate look, you can opt for the standard metallic
hip flask or one with a wood finish. There is no perfect hip flask, just the
right fit for the right person.
Hip Flasks
Are Practical
Generally,
Christmas is the time for celebrations. Meals are shared and alcohol is
flowing! Sometimes, however, you may have to attend dry events – wherein
alcohol is not served – and this might put a dampener on things. However, a hip
flask ensures that your recipient never has to feel like they are missing their
favorite Irish whiskey. Moreover, after Christmas comes New Year and parties
abound. A splash of hard liquor in an otherwise light drink will do just the
trick. Thus, a hip flask for Christmas could not come at a better time!
Hip Flaks Are
Unique
If
you’re tired of receiving the same old pair of socks from your cousins, then
chances are that your gifts might be getting a little stale too! Hip flasks are
an easy way to spice things up in the gift department!
