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.

CBD Oil vs. Tincture: What’s the Difference?
A CBD tincture with an oil dropper

Just a few short decades ago, weed was mostly illegal. Today, not only is cannabis allowed in many states, it also comes in a variety of derivatives and forms. Among the most popular is CBD, the milder, non-THC-bearing chemical found in marijuana. It has invaded the market, taking the shape of everything from gummies and bath soap to oils; even pillows to improve sleep.

CBD oil is one of the most common offerings, created by taking the CBD from cannabis and diluting it with oil. The tincture is similar, although not quite as common. It too comes in liquid form, albeit more concentrated and accompanied by alcohol. This version shows up in the petite bottles with droppers and is becoming increasingly popular with mixologists, as they can change the nature of a cocktail (or mocktail) and some are even flavored.
