Wedding season is just around the corner and the bridal party gift enquiries have started.
I was recently brainstorming bridesmaid gifts with a bride when we got to talking about groomsmen gifts. Her fiance is stumped trying to come up with an original and reasonably-priced gift for his buddies.
Guys are usually pretty easy to shop for but to get a guy a nice gift, you sometimes have to spend a little more than what your budget might allow for.
The thing with wedding party gifts is that it’s hard to get something that everyone will like at a good price. Most brides and grooms try to get something “cool” or something that can at least be worn again but most of the time, it’s not used again and not everyone agrees that it’s cool.
The last three groomsmen gifts my husband got were a tie, cologne, and a flask. He wears the cologne and has worn the tie a bunch of times. The flask will be good for a boys trip (if he doesn’t forget it). So all in all, the gifts he’s gotten are pretty useful. But what else could you give a guy?
How about a tie clip? Even guys who don’t wear ties still have the occasional tie-necessary events. I came across personalized tie clips on Love It Personalized’s Etsy shop. I wouldn’t engrave the front for a sleeker look, but I like the idea of engraving the initials or wedding date on the back!
