Ok, so I now a few bachelors and they are not always the easiest people to buy for. Knowing what a bachelor needs can be a little overwhelming. They may not want the usual house warming gifts or clothing. Most of the bachelors I know are in their mid to late twenties and spend a lot of their time bumming around with the guys. So, I came up with a few gifts that can keep almost any bachelor occupied with his buddies. No bachelor pad should be without these fun and useful gifts!
Ok, the first gift no bachelor should live with out is a dart board cabinet. Most guys are already going to have their own dart board, but now that they are growing up a little they need something better to out it in. This cabinet can also help cover up the millions of tiny dart hole left in the wall after year of dart throwing practice. The Sport craft Classic Dartboard Cabinet is a beautiful piece of furniture. That can house any standard sized dartboard. It is made from solid wood and is a gift that can be kept and used for an entire lifetime. Once you bachelor gets married his better half may have him hang it in the basement, but it will look great down there! Inside the dartboard ancient you will find a chalkboard as well as dart holders. Solid oak, brash finishes, and quality exude from this fine piece of craftsmanship. This is a really nice gift for someone special. You can buy the Sportsman Classic Dartboard Cabinet at almost any sporting goods store. I found mine at Dicks Sporting Goods. The dartboard cabinet cost me about $80 before taxes, but I have seen it on sale before for a little less.
No fancy dartboard cabinet should be with out some fabulous steel tipped darts. GLD Products Quasar Steel Tip darts are the perfect accompanying gift to any bachelor with a nice dartboard and cabinet. The stainless steel darts are made from tungsten steel. The shafts are aluminum and there are hand painted rings. The package of darts comes with two sets of darts. There are also extra flights, extra shafts, and a dart mechanics wrench. This is a nice gift that will also last a lifetime. They are the perfect addition to a game room or bachelor pad. I bought my set of GLD Products Quasar Steel Tip Darts at Dicks Sporting Goods as well. I have seen them at Sports Authority too though. They cost about $55 and are a great quality gift. They have a wonderful even weight when you throw them!

This is one of those great coffee makers that brew directly into the travel mug. This is great for a bachelor just out of college setting up his new place.

Almost any bachelor will like the update stainless steel look. You can buy the Melitta Take 2 Dual Thermal Mug Coffee Maker at Bed Bath and Beyond, Linens and Things, and even Target.
