Pure passion drove David Galbraith to pursue his vision of making the world’s best hip flasks. He believed in his dream so much that he sold everything he owned and moved across the U.K. to London to launch SWIG. Today the company produces seamless stainless-steel flasks offered with a wide range of leather pouches—everything from solid colors to plaids to the Union Jack.

They make great gifts and arrive in a ribbon tied gift box and engraved with a unique serial number that permits lifetime membership in the “SWIG Society,” which is a global membership club for flask owners. It even boasts the Prime Minister among its members.

The SWIG Magnetic Executive Flask Gift Set, for example, includes a hip flask, stainless steel funnel, magnetic executive pouch, gift packaging and engraving. The impressive styling along with practical usage will make this flask a favored possession. It retails for 140 British pounds, which is currently equivalent to $218.31 in U.S. dollars.

Other flask/pouch combos range from 49 pounds to 119 pounds ($76.40 to $185.49 U.S. dollars).

If you love to travel and love to take your whisky with you, these hip flasks are a must.

The best shows and movies to watch on Apple TV Plus in May

Apple TV+ has an impressive library that includes great movies and shows

Austin Butler in Masters of the Air.

When computer company Apple announced that it was getting into the streaming TV game, there were plenty of people who were skeptical about the company's ability to pull it off. Why would the tech giant, which is most known for the Macintosh and the iPhone, have any credibility in making television shows? It doesn't seem the two ideas would mesh in any meaningful way, but in the years since Apple TV Plus launched, the company has come up with some pretty impressive original shows, and it picked up a Best Picture Oscar on top of that.
What's even more impressive is that these Apple TV shows and movies run the gamut from comedy to drama, and are all set in wildly different and imaginative places. Apple may be best known for making great phones, but it turns out it knows how to tell pretty interesting stories, too. These Apple TV movies and shows are the cream of the crop and the best on this streaming service.
