BEAT THE CHRISTMAS RUSH WITH TROTEC WOOD SHEETS

Should I Sell Hip Flasks? Wholesale Hip Flasks for Gift Shops

Most people know what a hip flask is and what they’re for, but a lot of people might not think of flasks as a great gift idea. Traditionally, hip flasks have been given to young men and women for reaching milestones such as an 18th or 21st birthday, graduation or other events, and wholesale hip flask gift sets are great as a gift for someone reaching retirement. Over the past few years, steel hip flasks have soared in popularity, even being seen as a collectible by some. So, should you stock hip flasks if you own a gift shop? Are hip flasks reusable?

Hip flasks are primarily made from stainless steel or pewter, though there are some flasks made of glass! These materials are durable and robust, and they’re a gift that keeps on giving. It’s incredibly easy to keep a hip flask clean and in good condition, and they should last a life time if cared for properly. Over the years, hip flasks can get scratched if not cared for, but there are alternatives to regular stainless steel flasks. Such alternatives are wholesale leather flasks, wooden wrapped hip flasks and even flasks wrapped in vinyl. The material wrapped around the exterior of the hip flasks means that they’re protected from scuffs and other marks that might damage a regular flask – but stainless steel is a durable enough metal that scratches are unlikely.

Can Stainless Steel Flasks be Engraved?

Another great benefit of buying cheap flasks in bulk is that they can be personalised. Add an extra touch of magic to your customer’s order by offering engraving on their stainless steel hip flask. This is an extra selling point that makes flasks great for gift shops. Our line of stainless steel hip flasks can be engraved by both laser and diamond drag engraving, and the vast majority of our other items can be engraved, too. Our leather and wood range can also be engraved, so there really is a flask for every taste and style. Because there are so many different flasks on the market, you can cater to any number of different events or occasions. We find that 1oz and 3oz hip flasks are great for bridal parties or giveaways, and our gift sets (such as our black 6oz gift set with cups) are wonderful for all occasions! Here at UK Hip Flasks, we can also hot foil print the lids on gift boxes which adds an extra personal touch. Custom Printed Hip Flasks We also offer UV printing here at UK Hip Flasks. Printing is a rather unique method of branding, and we can offer excellent colour matching and screen accuracy without sacrificing detail in the print. Whilst engraving is still incredibly popular, offering printing to your customers is certainly a way to make something truly personal.

Unique Hip Flasks

Whilst there is still high demand for standard hip flasks in assorted colours, there are also a myriad of bulk hip flasks that come in unique designs. Some such flasks include jerry can hip flasks, which are very popular amongst car shops and are a quirky addition to any product line! There are also mini hip flasks in a keyring form, and two-tone leather hip flasks that offer a striking contrast colour when engraved. Overall, there are many reasons why you should opt to stock hip flasks in your gift shop. Flasks are a great gift that people rarely think to buy for themselves, and they can be engraved to cater for any event or occasion. Hip flasks are also great for the drinks industry and for bars looking to promote themselves in a new way. Hip flasks can also be very affordable, and buying cheap flasks in bulk is a great way to get started with your gifts business.
