How to Throw a Man Shower

When planning your Man Gathering, I want to remind you that this doesn't replace the traditional bachelor party, it is a great time to get together, share a few laughs, and unwind a bit. And for those who may choose not to follow tradition, this is a perfect alternative.

What you will need;

1. Guest of Honor

2. Meeting place

3. Cake, snacks, beverages

4. Games

5. Gift

First of all you need to decide if this will be a surprise, or the guest of honor will know beforehand. Also if you will be having the celebration in a home, or public place. If it's at a favorite restaurant, they may be able to help with the cake, for an additional fee of course. The games will depend heavily on your meeting place.

Some people choose to have it at their home, so there is more freedom for the guests.

How elaborate you go is totally up to you, and your budget. If you want to do invitations, keep them simple. Some guys new to this may get a little freaked out if they receive a fancy invitation. You, and you alone know your guests, and most likely their needs.

The main ideal is to celebrate a wonderful event, with a very special guy. Kick back, relax, and have fun.

Now let's talk games. What's your pleasure? A little football perhaps? A chance to blow off a little steam? Or since we're in the midst of summer, don't rule out a favorite of many, horseshoes. And if the weather is not on your side. We have also included a hot game from ESPN.

Skil 2887-05 18-Volt Cordless 2-Speed 3/8-Inch Drill/Driver w/Bit Index, 2 Batteries, Charger, and Case

No workshop or tool box is complete without at least one dependable and powerful cordless drill/driver. Skil's 2887-05, 3/8-inch keyless chuck drill/driver has a two-speed gear box that allows the user to shift from high speed drilling to high torque for driving screws or bolts. The gear change lever is located on top of the tool housing above the two-finger variable speed trigger. The forward/reverse switch on this drill is located just above the trigger so that you can switch direction without changing your grip, and there is a forward/reverse indicator light on top of the housing. There is a built-in bit storage compartment on top of the housing. Especially handy is the built-in bit index No more guessing at which bit is needed for which screw. Simply place a screw in the index and you'll find the bit size you will need. The 2887-05 also comes with a removable side handle for added two-fisted leverage when drilling or driving on high torque.
The drill/driver is powered by an 18-volt Ni-Cad battery which gives the user superior power and extended battery life. The battery slides easily onto the bottom of the tool giving the drill/driver optimum balance. Included with the 2587-05 is an extra battery, a one-hour charger and carrying case.

Denali 115-Piece Home Repair Tool Kit

Every home needs a good set of basic tools, and kits are a great way to get them at a considerable savings. Three things make Denali's 115-piece kit stand out-the price, an exceptional selection of screwdriver bits, and last but not least, the bag. In fact, it's hard to find a set of tools as extensive as this for anywhere near this price. If purchased separately, these items would cost $150.00
This kit includes all of the tools you need for just about any household chore, from hanging pictures to fixing a leaky faucet. They are of good quality and should handle all of your household chores and repairs for many years to come. Going through this kit, I really appreciated little touches rarely seen in basic tool sets, like the soft-grip rubber cover on the tape measure that makes it easy and comfortable to hold, and the dizzying array of bits that come with the ratcheting screwdriver handle.

Rock Band

This would make an awesome gift, or consider this as one of the games for the night. If you need it in Wii, or PlayStation they can be found along with all the accessories, by browsing the Rock Band line of products.

In choosing the products to be featured in our "Gifts" section, I wanted to highlight a variety of "What's Hot," but maybe he isn't into the power tools, and video games. Is he more of a Nascar fan? Does he like to golf? Why not get him the latest action movie. Here's one of the many you will have to choose from.

Not your typical burger to say the least. Once you have had one of these, an ordinary hamburger won't do. Give them the best!

Franks, Brats & Sausage

You can't have one without the other! As I said earlier, simple and easy, did I mention very tasty? Unless you are blessed with an amazing significant other (and I hope you are), who is going to spend hours preparing food for this wonderful event. You're on your own. I want it to go as smoothly as possible. So you can enjoy this time as well.

So maybe this isn't the route you want to take. Just a few snacks? Think, chips, peanuts, or cheese and sausage. Did someone say beef jerky? Again this will depend on your guests, and what they like.
