Philip and Kim from Tartan Trader teamed up with Johnny and Angie from Validus Gym to take part in the 51 mile charity bike ride from Glasgow to Edinburgh on 11^th September 2011.

The ride was indeed challenging (for some!) with a fair amount of hills and the predictable Scottish drizzle playing its part, however, with a big dose of determination and encouragement from one another, the team managed to raise £871 for Maggie’s Cancer Care. A big thanks to all who sponsored the team. Continue reading →

Hip flasks come in various shapes and sizes, we stock hip flasks in 2oz, 3oz, 5oz, 6oz, 7oz and 8oz there are also sizes as small as 1oz on a key ring and larger than 8oz but these are very large and not as popular as the other sizes we stock.

Most hip flasks are made from two types of metal, stainless steel and pewter but can be made from silver and other metals, what ever your hip flask is made from you will need to look after it and not leave drink in the flask for any longer than three days after this time empty any drink out and rinse with clean water.

What will make your hip flask special is the uniqueness and this can be achieved by having it engraved, as most hip flask are made from metal then this is simple and makes a plain metal hip flask special, not only can you have a large amount of text added to hip flask you can also have a company logo added.

We get all sorts of engraving enquires at Tartan Trader, we recently had a request from a customer to engrave a small rock with his friends initials on it.  As the rock had a fairly flat surface we were able to engrave it.  This token means a symbol of love in many countries.

Then a few days later we were asked if we could engrave a metolius freenut key, this little gizmo is used by mountain climbers.  Our customer wanted this engraved for a birthday present to his friend who enjoys  climbing mountains in his spare time.  Whether it is a rock or a hard place we like to engrave it!

It’s always nice to get feedback from our customers and we appreciate all comments

‘Came across Tartan Trader via an Amazon site search. It was great to immediately compare what other companies were offering same/similar products.

What stood out with Tartan Trader was the product/favour we selected for our male guests for our forthcoming wedding, was competitively priced plus the customer service we received. This was particularly important as we were placing a sizeable order. The engraving service was equally impressively.’

Also, the time of delivery was fantastic, very prompt.
Would definitely recommend Tartan Trader!
