Bachelor Party Gifts for the Ultimate Night Out

You are the best man, and the bachelor party is yours to plan. You want a night the groom and his friends will still talk about in ten years. A few well-chosen bachelor party gifts help with that, and they give the group something to laugh about before the first round. If the groom wants to keep track of ideas, he can create a bachelor wishlist so everything sits in one place.

Personalised flasks

A classic for good reason. Have the flasks engraved with the groom's name, his initials or a funny line the whole group will recognise. They get used on the night and stay in a drawer for years as a souvenir.

Matching T-shirts

Matching T-shirts put the whole group on the same team. Print them with the groom's face, a slogan or an inside joke that gets everyone laughing. They also make the party photos a lot better.

Cigars or whisky

If the groom likes a good cigar or a smooth whisky, that is your answer. He can open it during the party or save it for later. If you do not know which he prefers, ask his brother or his oldest friends; they will know the brand.

Activity vouchers

If the plan includes a round of golf or a night at the casino, buy the vouchers in advance. It usually saves money, and it means nobody has to sort out tickets or argue about the plan on the day itself.

Grooming kit

For a groom who likes to look sharp, a grooming kit is a good pick. Fill it with a shaving set or beard oil, whatever he already uses. It shows you have paid attention to what he likes.

Action camera

If the plan includes bungee jumping or skydiving, get an action camera. The group can film everything from their own point of view and keep the footage long after the bruises have faded.

Hangover kit

It will probably be a long night. A hangover kit is one of the most useful things on this list, because it makes the next morning easier: some aspirin, rehydration sachets and a cooling eye mask are enough to get the groom back on his feet.

Swap bachelor party gifts with a draw

If the friends also want to swap small presents among themselves, set up a Secret Santa. Everyone buys for one person, nobody spends too much, and it adds a bit of surprise to the evening.

Whatever you choose, match it to the groom's style and interests rather than to the loudest guy in the group. It is his night, and the present should feel like him. Settle on one or two gifts this week, so they arrive well before the party.
