OK, you have been engaged for a year, planning and organizing with your beloved so the BIG DAY goes without a hitch. Made a list and checked it twice, wait, we forgot the groomsman gifts. A week till the rehearsal dinner, what do you do? Don't fear, there are so many options, a well thought out gift is a simple task even for a group of men with a wide variety of personalities, interests and styles.
Appropriate Gifts
One gift doesn't fit all. Each gift should reflect the personality of the gift receiver. Certain common sense rules stand such as, no flasks for the recovering alcoholic. A little thought can go a long way since we know a good gift is one that is used and enjoyed and a badly chosen one sits on the shelf gathering dust or becomes a dreaded "re-gift." Excellent gift ideas can be found at The Man Registry and your bridal party can register so there aren't any disappointments.
Lifestyle types of Groomsmen
The "Athletic" type
His weekends are spent golfing, camping, fishing and the Sunday softball league. You know the type. A perfect gift for this guy is a Personalized 2-1 Cooler Duffle Bag, embroidered with 7 characters at no cost and ground shipping between 4-7 days for $49.95. A sure bet that it will be used weekly and your gratitude will always be felt.
The "Party" Animal
You were in the same frat. You grew up, he hasn't and the party hasn't stopped either. By far the easiest guy to buy anything for and this is no exception. Shot glasses, flasks, humidors, are all terrible ideas because your buddy has them all. So, give him something he will love and every time he uses it, he will tell everyone how he got it. Give him a Hammacher and Schlemmer Remote Beverage Cooler. This remote controlled keg shaped cooler delivers beer to you or a guest up to 60 feet away. Will be a true conversation piece and reasonably priced at $59.95. Comes with a lifetime guarantee which could outlast the marriage and standard shipping only takes 3 to 6 days with an express option.
The "Wall Street" type
Dresses in Armani and Brooks Brothers suits. Works at a Fortune 500 company and drives a Porsche. This man has it all but still wants more and that's good for us. Easy to buy for and loves multiples. Give him a Personalized Carbon Fiber Money Clip and a set of Personalized Black Border Designer Cuff Links. Together, less than $50.00 and a great addition to his accessory collection. An express delivery option so no one will know it was a rush job.
The "GrillMaster" type
The perfect husband for most. You will find him behind the grill barbecuing for the neighborhood. A perfect gift for him is The Monogrammed Grill Master Plus Apron. Stylish blue and black apron comes complete with bottle opener, oven mitt, bottle holder, and towel personalized with his initials at no extra cost. Many pockets for him to keep his grill tools handy. Less than $50.00 with shipping, including an express option.
You don't have to spend a fortune for the perfect gift. The winning combination is something that reflects the recipient and will be appreciated by being used. Congratulations and Best Wishes. Don't forget the Groomsmen.
