No matter what plans you have made to celebrate New Year's Eve, we have the perfect starter kit for you. Whether it's an ego party or a group shindig, we'll give you the impetus for a happy new year.

The new year will soon be ringing in and we can leave 2016 behind us. How and with whom you celebrate is up to you. We simply provide a starter kit suitable for (almost) every occasion so that you are optimally equipped for New Year's Eve.

1. for egomaniacs

No friends? No problem. We also have something on sale for solo singers.

Alcohol

Quinta de la Rosa Finest Reserve (1 x 50 cl)
Sweet wine
CHF24.– CHF48.–/1l

Quinta de la Rosa Finest Reserve

1 x 50 cl

Drinking alone is pathetic. You simply have to keep it classy. I recommend a fine port wine.

Dinner for one

The classic that many people watch every year is probably on TV anyway. On the one hand, you're keeping a tradition alive and on the other, you can see that there are others who party alone - well, almost.

Dressing up

50fifty Emergency Fancy Dress Nun (One size)
Costume
CHF17.90

50fifty Emergency Fancy Dress Nun

One size

To get in the mood, you need to dress up - even if only you and your cat can see it. How about this chic (not at all photoshopped) outfit? Definitely suits men too.

Sex toy

Guidebooks

Even lonely hearts need love. Hopefully this will make manual sex a little more fun.

2. for couples

What could be better than spending New Year's Eve with your loved one? Wait, wait, wait, not all at once, that was a rhetorical question. Nevertheless, we have of course also thought about couples.

Relationship guide

Just to be on the safe side in case the evening doesn't go as planned.

Cuffs

Either for hot lovemaking or if your partner gets on your nerves. In the latter case, simply lock them in the room tied up.

Foot rasp

Ceylor Easy Glide (100 pcs.)
Condoms
CHF73.– CHF0.73/1pcs.

Ceylor Easy Glide

100 pcs.

Is there anything more romantic than pampering each other's feet over a glass of wine? That way, you'll always have your hands free to toast the New Year.

3. for the house party

You've been invited to a friend's house or are throwing a big party yourself, then you can certainly look forward to a cheerful evening. Equip yourself with this starter kit.

Condoms

You never know how the evening will end. 100 pieces should be just about enough, right?

Confetti

Hasbro Gaming Looping Louie (German)
Games of skill

CHF23.70 was CHF27.90

Hasbro Gaming Looping Louie

German

The party is not taking place at your home? Good. Then make yourselves popular with the host with this bag of confetti.

Drinking games

Yes, I know, it's as old as the hills, but on New Year's Eve you can unpack this "children's game" with a clear conscience.

Shot glasses

These glasses have taken the name quite literally. The ideal addition for Looping Louie.

4. For party-goers

Parties at home are too lax for you? Would you rather mingle with the crowd and hit the dancefloor? This is what you need

Flambé burner

JVC Rv-Nb100 (FM, DAB+, Bluetooth)
Radios

JVC Rv-Nb100

FM, DAB+, Bluetooth

Smokers in particular spend 90 per cent of the evening in front of the club. As heaters are prohibited, you can heat up with this flambé burner

Ghetto blaster

Don't like the sound in the club? No problem. With this fat thing on your shoulders, you call the shots.

Bomb alarm clock

If the party isn't rocking, then this alarm clock is guaranteed to get you in the right mood.

5th for the one who has to work

Boah, you poor bastard. Who wants to party and drink? Totally overrated. If you have to get up early the next day, the last starter kit is perfect for you.

Hearing protection

Saatgeschwister Chamomile mini garden (Flower seeds)
Seeds

Saatgeschwister Chamomile mini garden

Flower seeds

Close out the environment, your neighbours and the fireworks with proper hearing protection

Camomile tea

For peace of mind when everyone is celebrating loudly except you. Sorry, we don't have any ready-made camomile tea, but if you whisper these seeds to them really well, they are CERTAIN to sprout by New Year's Eve 😉.

Broom

Ironside Axe w/Handle 1,0 kg
Axes
CHF31.70

Ironside Axe w/Handle 1,0 kg

If the neighbours are partying too loudly, show your displeasure by banging firmly on the ceiling with your broomstick.

Axe

Ironside Axe w/Handle 1,0 kg
Axes
CHF31.70

Ironside Axe w/Handle 1,0 kg

What, tapping with the broom didn't work? Then you need to bring out the big guns. Use this high-quality, gold-lacquered axe to politely gain access to the neighbours and ask them to turn the music down a little. Something like this.

On that note. We wish you a happy new year.

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
