It can be a wedding gift, an 18th birthday gift \u2013 in fact, a gift for any occasion! It's even more unique when the hip flask is personalised, making it really, really, really special! If you're still not convinced that a hip flask is a great gift, let us share a few interesting facts about it.<\/p>\r\n<h2>What is a hip flask used for?<\/h2>\r\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leboxi.eu\/en\/product\/gift-for-husband\/\"><\/em><\/strong>A hip flask is basically used for carrying a drink with you wherever you go. It comes in handy at all kinds of events, formal and of course informal too. Thanks to its shape it's easy to carry, and above all it's very hard to spot in a jacket pocket or wherever else you keep it.<\/p>\r\n<h2>What kinds of drinks can you keep in a hip flask?<\/h2>\r\n<p>As already mentioned, the purpose of a hip flask is to let you bring spirits along with you. We should stress that the emphasis is on \"spirits\". Especially if your hip flask is made of metal, you need to take proper care of it. So avoid mixed drinks and stick to neat spirits such as whisky, vodka, rum or similar.<\/p>\r\n<p>Drinks to avoid:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>fizzy drinks, including beer and cider<\/li>\r\n<li>wine, sparkling wine and champagne<\/li>\r\n<li>cream liqueurs such as Baileys and Dooley's<\/li>\r\n<li>citrus liqueurs such as limoncello<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>If your hip flask is metal, bear in mind that although it works brilliantly with spirits, it's still metal, so there are a few important recommendations to follow. As well as avoiding mixed drinks, skip cream-based drinks too. Drinks like these can not only take on a metallic taste but can also cause corrosion inside the hip flask.<\/p>\r\n<h2>When and where can I take my hip flask?<\/h2>\r\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leboxi.eu\/en\/product\/hip-flask-with-shot-cups\/\"><\/em><\/strong>The hip flask is a sacred accessory that was originally intended as a secret rebellion against low-quality or overpriced alcoholic drinks.<\/p>\r\n<p>Today a hip flask means a fun surprise! When you or your friend pull a hip flask out of a jacket at an event, you quickly become the centre of attention. A hip flask is a great companion for parties, events, concerts and festivals, outdoor trips, camping and even horse riding.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Is a hip flask a good gift for a friend?<\/h2>\r\n<p>A hip flask is a great gift for a friend, especially if you make it even more special by personalising it. Have your friend's name printed on the hip flask and we guarantee he'll never forget this gift (or forget to take it with him). Don't forget about his friends either \u2013 give him a<em><strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/leboxi.eu\/en\/product-category\/general\/men\/hip-flask\/\">hip flask with shot glasses<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, so everyone else will always be taken care of too!<\/p>\r\n<h2>A few more tips to keep your hip flask going for many years<\/h2>\r\n<p><span class=\"eop\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: &apos;Calibri&apos;,sans-serif\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leboxi.eu\/en\/product\/metal-hip-flask-2\/\"><\/em><\/strong>A hip flask on its own doesn't keep your drink at temperature for long. That means you need to be really careful to fill it only with pure spirits and keep it out of direct sunlight. The covering around it (leather, ...) helps maintain the temperature inside. Remember, it isn't recommended to keep alcohol in it for long periods. That's not only disrespectful to the drink, it's also bad for the hip flask. ;)<\/span><\/span><\/p>","link":"https:\/\/leboxi.eu\/en\/product-category\/general\/men\/hip-flask\/","name":"Hip flask","slug":"hip-flask","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":757,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/leboxi.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/leboxi.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/leboxi.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leboxi.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/757"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/leboxi.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
