Groomsman Gifts?????

Bethany, on July 11, 2013 at 10:49 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 21

I asked this before, but we're 5 months away & still have nothing! Happily, my fiancée is now thinking about Groomsman gifts. Sadly, still no good ideas. What is everyone doing?? He doesn't want traditional crap nobody uses (cuff links, flasks, etc) but everyone is from a different background interest wise! HELP! We need unique ideas to appeal to the masses!

    We got our groomsmen a custom mug with each of their favorite football team and their nickname engraved on them with their favorite mini bottle of alcohol. We got the best man a watch as an extra thank you.

    Since the best man likes to camp and go canoeing we got him a fold up cooler with his name embroidered on it. We didn't have any other male attendants.

    We are doing a knife that is engraved. I know for sure one will defiantly keep/use it. I know FH has a zippo engraved lighter engraved that was given to him years ago he had some roomies and they called each other the crazy 8's one of the guys mom I think got them. Anyways ya know each of those guys still have those lighters?

    I like the personalized knives. You have to think what will the guys use. Always an option a gift card to a resturant, gift card for movies, or gift card to favorite store/place.

    My fh picked our groomsmen gifts. They are each getting a beer pint glass with a mustache decal on it from etsy, a case of their fave beer, and personalized cufflinks to wear with their wedding tuxs (e.g. my brother loves the tv show "how I met your mother" so his say "suit up". Best man and fh grew up playing 007 on the Xbox so he got James bond cufflinks, etc). Nothing fancy but I think Fh put a lot of thought into what his men would want /use, as well as how to personalize each guys gift.

    Groomsmen gifts are definitely not as easy as bridesmaids! What about engraved money clips, engraved pocket knives, bbq set, cigar humidor.

    Groomsmen gifts are so annoying! We have thought about this for months and we finally have decided on 1 of 2 things. A personalized baseball/football shirt with their nick name or last name on the back. Another idea was a gf to our local ball park. Everyone here is a big fan Smiley smile

    I have been struggling with this too! Your FH is way ahead of mine b/c I've brought this up a few times and he isn't really thinking about it yet hah. I've been trying to come up with a list of ideas to help him along but everyone here has great ideas!

    Everyone is getting something different. All the guys have different personalities, it's easier if we just gift them something we know they'd care for.

    We got our groomsmen engraved pocket watches from a wholesale pocket watch website. They were great prices.

    We’re doing customized wood hunting knives… FH choice. Pretty affordable off Etsy.

    We put $$ towards their tuxes but also want to do something small for all the GM. I think we're ordering personalized key chain bottle openers from Etsy (cheap but something they'll use) and a mini jack and coke kit with a glass for them to keep (saw the idea on Pinterest). They are cheaper but we don't have a ton for it since we put money towards their tuxes as well

    FH wants to get one of these for his guys from Exclusively Weddings:

    #1 Gentlemen's Charging Valet $39.95

    #2 Engraved Wooden Valet for your Groomsmen $29.95

    More than likely, he will buy both.

    We got leather toiletry bags for our groomsmen which we were able to personalize. Even though they were made of genuine leather their price was affordable. The name of the shop is Urban Wrist which you can find on etsy at www.urbanwrist.etsy.com, our groomsmen were very happy with their dopp kits.

    I think the best groomsmen gift is caricature from photo!) It's so cool to bring all the groomsmen together on the drawing. Especially in funny clothing)) As for us, we ordered such a cartoon here: https://www.photolamus.com/ There are highly professional artists drawing in any style you want.
