Every Saturday morning, college students across the country are nursing major hangovers as a result of the previous night’s beer pong play. In just a few short years, pong has become the most popular drinking game in the US… and for good reason. The game is fun as hell (and majorly addictive).

If you’re shopping for a unique gift for a beer pong lover, we’ve got five recommendations that are sure to impress. Cheers!

Buzz-Shot Beer Pong Card Game

Buzz-Shot – The latest craze in the world of beer pong! With the Buzz-Shot card set, you’ll be challenged to perform difficult trick shots by drawing cards and performing the instructed shots. I recently tested out the game and can personally vouch that it adds an intriguing twist to the world’s best drinking game. [$9.99]

Portopong

Portopong – If you’re a beer pong fan and haven’t heard of Portopong yet, we want to know what rock you’ve been living under. Play pong in a swimming pool, basement, hotel room or on any flat surface with the 6ft. x 3ft inflatable surface. [$49.99]

Football Beer Pong Table

Football Beer Pong Table – Some guys dream of  becoming NFL players or astronauts. However, if you aspire to be the world’s greatest beer pong player, you’ll need a regulation size table to practice on. Our football table meets all regulations for The World Series of Beer Pong and folds into a briefcase for easy transportation. [$134.99]

Official Beer Pong Kit

Bombed Beer Pong Kit – The Bombed kit includes 2 racks, 22 cups, 3 balls and an official beer pong rule book. [$22.99]

Beer Pong Rack

Nice Rack – The Nice Rack holds cups in perfect formation while play is going on – this way, you don’t have to worry about cups sliding around on a wet table, tipped cups or a huge mess after the game is over. However, the best part about this rack is that you can freeze it before the game so your beer will remain cold during play. [$27.95]

There is not a better getup in all of college basketball than Bruce Weber’s orange blazer. Am I right?

When it comes to wedding parties, some decide to throw on their dancing shoes and be the life of the party, while others prefer to slip into something more comfortable and observe. Del Toro Shoes are perfect for both, and they add a polished and classic look to any type of wardrobe. They are a sentimental yet practical must-have for any guy’s closet. And if not for just yourself, what better way to thank your groomsmen (and your bride-to-be!) by presenting them with a pair?

Del Toro's online shop offers popular designs as well as custom monograms that make ideal groomsmen and wedding party gifts.

These carefully handcrafted velvet loafers allow for you to customize your own logo– if you want a monogram or a traditional familial symbol embedded on the shoes, Del Toro’s are the perfect item for that special occasion or for that special someone! With four velvet colors and four linen colors to choose from, as well as endless custom embroidery options, Del Toro shoes are a perfect fit for all. DT shoes are extremely affordable and are a true keepsake. They are sure to be treasured for many years to come. DT shoes’ classy look and slick personalization cannot be overlooked by those with an eye for style.

Del Toro shoes are the casual version of the Prince Alberts, normally worn with tuxes, and allow for lucky wearers to kick back and relax in style wearing any outfit. Del Toro can take any wardrobe from day to night. Originally thought up by three prep school friends that had hopes of smoking cigars in their boarding school slippers in celebration of graduation, this idea has blossomed into a seriously luxurious line of shoes.

All of the shoes are made with leather soles and heels allowing for them to be worn with just about any outfit! The best part is that DT will send a photo shot via e-mail of what the embroidered shoe will look like to make sure you are 100% satisfied with your choice before continuing with production. Once you give DT the go ahead, you will receive your purchase in one-third of the time of what other custom loafer producers can offer you!

Del Toro Color Options

Everything about that special wedding day deserves to be remembered, so just say “I do” to Del Toro, the trendiest and most memorable loafers on the globe! This is a gift you will never forget…

Editor’s note – I had to share my favorites from the Del Toro online shop: you can’t go wrong with the skull and crossbones, the aviation series or the baseball line.

Well, what are you waiting for? Shop Del Toro now!
