27 Feb Groomsmen Gifts – Great Ideas For The Boys!
Just about every time I meet with a groom to be and ask about his thoughts on gifts for the groomsmen, inevitably, there always seems to be this painful wince on his face. I have to admit, it is harder for guys to shop for guys. I mean how often do you hear them talking to each other professing their love or need to have something specific. Girls… we could give you a list as long as our body of items and accessories that we probably already have listed on our Wishpot or Kaboodle registries.
There’s always the good ole tried and true favorites… golf shoe bags, single flasks, gym bags, ties, money clips, etc. but keep reading guys, I think you’ll find some pretty cool ideas for your besties below.
For the guy always on the go, consider the FreeLoader Pro portable solar charger. It’s available for only $60 at thinkgeek.com
For whiskey aficionados, buy bottles of Knob Creek, $26 each, at K&L Wine Merchants, klwines.com and then go to knobcreek.com, where you can create personalized labels for each bottle.
Whiskey stones are simply awesome! Such a manly way to chill spirits but not water them down. You can find these at many online locations but they’re available for $20 at uncommongoods.com
These glasses are great for game night with the guys. Each one is a pint serving and puts a fun spin on football regulations. They are available at uncommongoods.com, $35 for a set of four.
Add a great photo to this too-cool-for-school picture frame made from recycled gym flooring. You can find it at uncommongoods.com for only $48.
How about a wireless computer mouse that looks like a sports car? These beauties come in three different colors… silver, black and red. For $50 you can get them from motormouse.us.com
Custom footwear from Converse is super cool! There are endless options you can customize with to gift them with a great pair of chucks. Starting at $62/pair, go to converse.com and get creative!
For the “always be prepared” guy, gift him with this portable mini-bar set. It’s perfect for the frequent traveler or taking to the tailgate party. Available at uncommongoods.com for $42.
Piggy Bank… the perfect solution that holds loose change and counts it too! You’ll find it at giftgenius.com for $19.
A gift that works for them everyday is this sleek weather station available from oregonscientific.com for $38. To be able to check the forecast and know what to put on or take with them that day… how awesome is that?
For the wine aficionado… other than a great corkscrew, knowing their favorite bottle is being served at the optimal temperature is most important! At $38, this thermometer from uncommongoods.com even comes with a handy guide for optimal serving temps for various wines.
Boxed sets of the classics maybe one to consider. Have someone on your list whose a big fan of The Sopranos, The Godfather, Lord of The Rings, or even Seinfield? Check out boxed sets on Amazon.com (prices vary).
Two final words on gifts for your guys… choose individually. There is nothing that says you need to give the same thing for each of your groomsmen. Take their personality, interests and likes into account and give something personal. It will mean a lot to them!
