Thank you gifts for Bestmen & Groomsmen

Avoid anything you see on Pinterest: robes, pjs, jewelry, attire, makeup, cuff links, men’s shaving bags, watches, etc because those are props for wedding day pictures, essentially gifts for you. Avoid engraved/embroidered names/initials/date/titles. Otherwise they get donated to Goodwill.


Shop like it’s their birthday and find something non wedding related that fits each person’s individual interests and hobbies that they will treasure long after the wedding is over. What are they into? Baking, grilling, entertaining guests? Sports, movies, reading, something else?

I agree with Michelle. Try to do stuff they like. maybe a jersey for their fav sports team, or a gift card to a place they like, a pack of beer, snacks, etc.

We did customized yetis with everyones names on them and they LOVED them! we also got them for the dads. the BM got a yeti cooler with his initials on it. Super easy, reasonably priced ($35 each) and something they can continue to use for a long time. if they're beer drinkers the yeti coozies are awesome too

H did something similar for his groomsmen! Love the customized idea - H took his sweet time ordering them though so they weren't engraved or anything. Two of his three are big beer drinkers so he got the insulated can holders and the third is more of a coffee guy so he got an insulated coffee cup instead. Plus gift cards to their favorite restaurants!

We are doing coffee cups, with deathwish coffee, and hats with their favorite football team on them

We bought ours watches .

We are doing ale horn mugs (all are really into viking stuff etc.) the side is custom designed with the viking knot of brotherhood then the bottom is customized too. Very affordable but unique.

Thank you Everyone for the awesome ideas! It really helped my fiancé out a lot!
