Hangover kit – what is it?

While browsing through lists of inspiring ideas for funny wedding guest thank -yous, did hangover kit ( or recovery kit) pouches catch your eye? We were literally blown away by this idea (and it will soon help keep your guests from doing the same)!

Do you know what’s hidden in these fabric bags with the witty print? The bags contain all sorts of little things to help you recover from the party and get through the next day…. And this one can be really difficult, especially when the party was accompanied by alcohol….

Wedding hangover kit pouches

A package of gadgets to alleviate hangover symptoms is a great idea for a witty gift for wedding guests, but also a perfect example of a (how practical) gift for a bridal shower! A great idea is to make personalised pouches with your guests’ names on them (either printed or with a tag/tag hanging on a string). In this way, they can act as vignettes to indicate guests to their allocated seat.

Hangover set – a tongue-in-cheek gift

Are you worried that the older generation will be put off and outraged by such a gift? Perhaps you are worried and don’t want to give a hangover kit to every guest… There is a way! Firstly, you can set aside a separate table for them! An equally good solution would be to place a few in a wedding rescue basket (then only those who need them will benefit from the pouch).

Some people also choose to gift such a kit to all the guests they provide accommodation for. A hangover kit wrapped in a fabric pouch can be hung on a bottle of mineral water – just use the drawstrings in the pull.

Recovery kit pouches – not just for weddings

Of course, this ingenious gift is not only used when celebrating a wedding. They are also great as gifts for hen and stag parties and at any other social event, for example when throwing a birthday party or anniversary.

The hangover kit bag is a great gift idea for girls’ night out

It is worth noting that such a bag with a themed print is not a disposable product and will be a nice keepsake for years to come. We sew our pouches from durable materials, so each recipient can use them again in the future. The compact size of the pouch can be taken with you to your next event! Another idea is to use it at home as a handy organiser (e.g. in a home first aid kit).

An interesting idea for an 18th birthday party

Hangover kit bags are a great idea for guests at an 18th birthday party. Let’s not kid ourselves – a birthday party to celebrate coming of age often involves the first ‘legal’ consumption of alcohol and partying until the morning, with the consequent unpleasant consequences a few hours later. A well-equipped pouch may turn out to be the best thing of the whole evening for some guests… In the case of an 18th birthday party, the problem of the awkward situation when handing over the pouch is removed. The party is usually exclusively attended by young people who, even if they do not consume alcohol themselves, know how often it accompanies their peers at parties. The Hangover kit is primarily intended as a humorous gift – every mature person knows that moderation is enough to avoid having to use its contents the next day.

A trinket for a house party

As we have already mentioned, hangover kits are perfect for literally any boozy party. Even at a house party! Whether you’re throwing a New Year’s Eve party, a housewarming party or a simple birthday party, a humorous trinket waiting for your guests at their seats at the table is sure to cheer them up. You can also put photos of you from years ago in the pouch – the gift will be even more memorable for your guests. And there’s nothing stopping you from personalising the contents of the pouch for each guest. Put the person’s favourite snack or a voucher to use at their favourite restaurant in the bag – treat them to a lazy and undemanding day out.

Employee integration – yes, but…

A bag of hangover kit can also prove to be a humorous gift for employees at a team-building event. Here, however, it is first worth considering the profile of the company in question and the status of the employees. For a creative advertising agency with a few employees, hangover kits may be a great idea, but for scientists, lawyers and other so-called serious professions, they would be a big no-no. Before buying pouches, consider to whom you want to address the joke so as not to commit a faux-pas.

Linen hangover kit pouches

The most popular, however, are linen pouches with a themed recovery kit print (usually with a red cross associated with first aid). However, when it comes to the material of the pouches, linen is leading the way. You can also find natural-coloured jute pouches and inexpensive organza pouches (small organza pouches in white, which are hung over a bottle of water, are particularly popular).
