Flasks

The drinking flask boasts a long tradition, but recent styles add a contemporary twist to a timeless classic. Flasks are taking center stage as the ultimate gift for trendy bachelors, college graduates and retirees. Engraved flasks now are given as a token of friendship or to mark a rite of passage. Choose from sleek stainless steel, handsome leather or even a flask masked as something slightly more innocent. Look for flasks disguised as cell phones, binoculars, even Bibles; include a funny saying for the quintessential gag gift. Every grown-up should own at least one flask to cherish and to pass along to the next generation.
