These hip flasks have been skilfully handmade from vintage 1955 Sixpence coins perfect for a 71st birthday gift for him, 71st birthday gift for her or a 71st Anniversary gift for your husband or wife.

Luxury Gift Box
You will receive your hip flask in a luxury presentation box, so your gift is instantly ready to be given to someone special.
Sixpences or Tanners as they used to be known are a well-known symbol of good luck whether it be an ingredient in the Christmas pudding, or being part of the brides ‘Something Old, Something New’ tradition, and it remains an RAF tradition to this day that sixpences are sewn behind pilot’s wings on their uniform. The sixpence design has changed three times since 1930 with each monarch’s reign. From 1926 to 1936 they featured a design of six oak sprigs divided by six acorns, 1937 to 1952 featured a crown royal cypher, and from 1953 onwards they displayed a floral design of a rose, thistle, shamrock and leek.
We make jewellery from Sixpence coins minted between 1930 to 1970.
Colour finish: Silver. Diameter: 19.4mm.
Our customers often find us by chance looking for 71st birthday ideas and then continue to purchase for friends and relatives from our large coin collection of other dates ranging from 1930 to 2022. Gift recipients often include:
They are regularly gifted and drunk from on occasions such as:
Whilst predominately hip flasks are perceived as a gift for men, we have an unprecedented number of ladies asking friends to buy these 1955 hip flasks for them too. Who doesn’t like a cheeky tipple, right!?
Whether you, or the recipient enjoy a drink in the great outdoors, maybe a wedding, or a festival, or a Stag or Hen do, these hip flasks make the perfect ‘born in 1955 gifts’ or ‘married in 1955 gifts’. They are a thoughtful gift that will always be appreciated.
They are also a sentimental gift also used by thousands of nervous grooms (and brides) waiting at the altar to steady the wedding day nerves. The coins mounted on the hip flasks often signify an important year for the couple, maybe when they met.
These 1955 birth year hip flasks make the best 71st birthday gifts, for a couple of reasons:
For birthdays, the coins used are exactly as old as the recipient who was born in 1955, therefore are a meaningful and thoughtful present. In addition, older coins often bring back memories of the ‘good old days’ and lots of conversations about happy childhoods are evoked by seeing the ‘old money’ once again.
Are you or your partner, friend or relative celebrating 67 years of marriage? Show them how much you love them with these personalised hip flasks, which make a wonderful Wedding Anniversary gift.
Like the increasingly popular ‘Ashes Jewellery’, our flasks can also poignantly signify the birth year of a loved one that has now passed away. Keep them close by subtly having their birth year on your hip flask. Maybe they always enjoyed a tot of whisky or gin. A touching way to have them ‘with you’ on your special wedding day and raise a glass to absent friends.
Cheers, Santé, Salud, Prost!

It would have been more advantageous if the gift ribbon was only on the lid of the box to make it easier to view the keyring. It was not for me, but a birthday gift. I was pleased I did see it as it was gorgeous.
I finally opened the package containing the gift. I was concerned about getting the ribbon back on the gift box. I did manage it with success.
I was disappointed that a 90th birthday card was not available for me. This gift won’t be given until the birthday girls special day on May 5. Thank you.
Very well engraved, but again it’s expensive!
Lovely, a little expensive but worth it!
Beautiful item, so pleased with it, engraving is lovely.
As discussed wanted this to go with my cuff links but wasn’t available people like matching sets !!
Quality product .Delivery on time. Beautiful little present
VERY happy with my purchase. Excellent quality in manufacture and polish. Very nostalgic thinking about all the Black Jack's & Fruit Salads I could buy for a tanner!
Thanks very much!
Appreciative comment from recipient.
I couldn’t see this before I purchased it, glad it didn’t day 80!
Well it got the goods there safely.
An 80th for a dear friend who did not want to be reminded she was 80! This hit the spot, nice and subtle, lovely quality, nicely engraved… Irish tanner from the year and place of her birth.
