Groomsmen Gifts
You have selected your best man and
groomsmen for the wedding. You’ve talked to them about their
responsibilities on the big day. You want to show your
appreciation for sharing in your wedding day, and for
everything they’ve done for you and your bride. You want to
choose just the right groomsmen’s gifts.
Maybe you’re not a big shopper, and
prefer leaving the shopping to your bride, so these ideas will
help you pick great gifts. Your budget is your first
consideration for your gift choices. Generally, the cost of
the gifts is in proportion to the cost and size of the wedding
and the responsibilities of the men. Many web sites and
specialty shops offer
unique gift ideas for your groomsmen.
You can go the conventional route and
present them each with the same gift. You can’t go wrong with
such masculine and useful gifts as monogrammed glass mugs,
beer steins, pilsner glasses, toiletry sets, or handkerchiefs,
or engraved pocket watches, cuff links, manicure sets, or
money clips. If you present engraved gifts, you give a
memorable, personalized gift the men will treasure for a long
time.
You can also individualize your gifts to
each tastes.
You
don’t have to present each man with the same gift. Think about
their likes and interests. What kind of sports does they like?
Are they a outdoor grilling enthusiast?
Personalized steak branders make a great gift.
What kind of outdoor activities interest
them? What kind of movies, books, or music does they enjoy?
Where does they like to go? Where does they like to eat? Add a
special personal touch and select something each will like or
enjoy.
Sports Ideas
If you and your groomsmen are all
golfers, think about gift certificates for golfing activities
such as 18 holes at your favorite course. You can set a date
to go together after the wedding. How about engraved stainless
steel golf tees, personalized golf balls, a
personalized
golf towel, or golf ball monogrammers? If you all enjoy
the same sports, treat them to tickets to a hockey, baseball,
or football game where you also go together.
A
set of cuff links, a wall clock, a flask, or a belt with a
favorite team’s logo is the perfect choice for some sports
enthusiasts. Other men would love baseballs, bats or tennis
balls, or, how about gift certificates for a shooting range or
bowling? Some men like sports duffle bags or weekender bags.
Outdoorsmen
Select an item that is related to
fishing, hunting, biking, hiking, or other outdoor activity,
perhaps a Swiss army knife, binoculars, or monogrammed cooler.
Select a tool for the do-it-yourselfer such as a new saw,
drill, electric screwdriver, or tool caddy. A new set of
barbeque tools appeals to the grilling enthusiast.
Car Enthusiast
For men who love their cars, select an
auto-related item such as leather driving gloves, navigator
clock and compass set, or steering wheel cover.
Music and Theater Lovers
Present tickets to the symphony, a
concert of a favorite performer, the ballet, live theater or
the opera. Buy the latest CD or DVD of one of their favorite
performers, or even a special edition boxed set.
Readers
Choose a new best seller or another
favorite book. Write a personal note inside the cover. The
book could be autographed or even a first edition. Purchase a
subscription to a favorite magazine, perhaps a sports or men’s
health magazine.
Other Ideas
Some
men may like tickets to a speakers’ series, especially if some
of their favorites are speaking. Gift certificates to
restaurants or movie theaters are always appreciated.
A
silver-plated coozie, leather wine carrier,
cigar flask,
leather flask, decanter set, monogrammed playing cards, or a
poker set
are all good ideas for your groomsmen.
