There's always a Magic Mike moment available to brides in the market for a little — ahem — adult entertainment for their bachelorette festivities. (Hollywood's Hunk-o-Mania is one, just saying.) But for those looking for slightly less debaucherous activities to celebrate their last moments of singledom with their girl squad, we've found a few out-of-the-box (or off-the-pole, if you will) ideas for you and your lady gang to have a total blast.

Whether getting into the wild (with wine), indulging in a bit of erotic lit (also with wine), or getting totally pampered at LA's stylish new massage spot, this list ought to get your creative juices flowing so you can start planning a final fling that you and your friends will never forget. The pimped-out limo and phallic straws/sippy cup/other paraphernalia? Now, that's totally up to you.

Malibu Wine Safari

This Kardashian-faved spot (remember when Kourtney and Khloe selfied with giraffes here on KUWTK?) takes guests around Malibu Wines's 1,000-acre property to not only catch a glimpse of exotic animals like zebra, camels, and alpacas, but make scenic pit stops to sip — oh yes — local vino. 32111 Mulholland Hwy, Malibu, CA 90265. Open daily 10am to 5pm. Tickets start at $65 per person.

The Ripped Bodice Reading

The second Sunday of each month, LA's romance-focused bookstore The Ripped Bodice invites OC-based reading series Lady Jane's Salon into the Culver City storefront for an evening of erotica ranging from futuristic to historical fantasy. Ladies, there's an entire world beyond the 50 Shades series. 3806 Main St, Culver City, CA 90232. 4pm to 6pm. Admission is $5 or a gently-used romance novel (net proceeds support Working Wardrobes).

Drawing Party at Art Works

Think of it as a more creative way of getting so see some dudes in the buff (it's for the sake of art, people!); Art Works's Drawing Party is a private event where you and your cohorts can try your hand at illustrating the human form via a live model. Just try and keep the giggles to a minimum until after, okay? 660 N Larchmont Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90004. Email ladrawingparty@gmail.com to coordinate your own exclusive event. Prices start at $90 per person with a 7 person minimum.

The Now Massage

Your lady dates will thank you endlessly for inviting them to a stylish relaxation sesh at The Now (our savvy friends at How You Glow and Rip + Tan agree) where the massages are reasonably priced and the modern zen vibes are serious interior design goals. 7611 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036. Tuesday through Sunday, 10am to 10pm. Prices start at $35 for a 20 minute massage.

Tart Brunch

If we're being honest, we can never resist a good brunch, and it's safe to say most ladies out there would agree. Not only does Beverly Grove spot Tart (the Farmer's Daughter hotel) offer soul-satisfying dishes like fried chicken and waffles with Tabasco-maple butter (!!!) and grilled asparagus with burrata, but they've also got boozy "adult punch bowls" for your table to share. Have your Uber app at the ready. 115 S Fairfax Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90036. Brunch served daily from 7am to 4pm. Prices vary per menu item.
