2. Single-Engine Private Pilots Decanter Set

Engravable gifts are such a great way to show you care. Most of our square decanter sets are constructed with the ability to customize to your heart’s content, such as this Single-Engine Private Pilot’s decanter set. Made of 100% lead-free borosilicate glass, the square decanter holds up to 900ml of your chosen spirit. To keep that liquor pure and free of contaminants, we’ve included a ground-glass airtight stopper. In addition to the detailed etching of a single-engine plane, you can include up to four lines of your own personalized text on the decanter. Comes with two matching whiskey tumblers.  

3. Air Force Koozie

Flimsy, cheap koozies are a dime a dozen – but not our premium top-grain oil-tanned leather koozies! This special koozie is built to last, made of the finest materials by our master artisans, and embossed with the United States Air Force insignia. A neoprene sleeve lines the inside of the leather to keep your drink colder, and longer. Tuck this koozie into a back pocket, backpack, beach bag, or glove compartment so you can always keep your hands dry and drinks cold in style.
