Planning a guys night at home gets more satisfying when you stop throwing out a grab bag of ideas and commit to one for the full evening. A list of twenty possibilities is a cop-out that ends with everybody ordering pizza and watching whatever's on ESPN. A single blueprint, executed well, becomes the kind of night your buddies will tell their wives about later.
Below are five formats that each hold up an entire evening. They're not activities to squeeze between rounds of beer — they ARE the night. Pick one, commit to the setup, and your place becomes the spot that gets put on the calendar instead of replaced with whatever random bar idea came up on Friday afternoon.

I've used vault toilets in national parks, gas station bathrooms in the middle of nowhere, and restrooms in countries where the toilet paper situation ranges from thin to nonexistent. The reality is that even as a guy, sometimes you need more than what's hanging on the wall - and the pack of flushable wipes most travelers carry is quietly destroying plumbing, septic systems, and the environment. Jim Kaslik founded The UnWipe to solve that problem with a reusable silicone device that turns whatever toilet paper is already there into something that cleans the way a wet wipe does - without any of the damage. We sat down with Jim to find out how it works and why it belongs in every travel kit.

The Jowissa LeWy 9 is a 42mm Swiss-made chronograph that looks significantly more expensive than it is and wears even better than it looks. This is a great watch for guys who need something that looks great for business meetings as well as casual weekends instead of a digital fitness watch. I know for me, it's earned a permanent spot in the rotation!

Crown Royal has leaned hard into flavored whisky over the past several years - Peach, Apple, Vanilla, Salted Caramel - and some of them are good mixers. But the core lineup deserves more attention than it gets. The signature Crown Royal Deluxe and the Reserve Aged 12 Years are smooth, balanced Canadian whiskies that hold up neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails where the whisky does the talking instead of hiding behind fruit juice. And for anyone looking to mark an occasion, Crown Royal recently introduced the 32-Year-Old - an ultra-aged expression matured for more than three decades that exists in extremely limited quantities.
