Posted: Thu May 22, 2008 11:34 pm Post subject: I need a REALLY Unique Groomsmen Gift Idea!!!!!!!? |
|
|
The groomsmen that are going to be in our wedding are all interested in different things. Yes I realize that these days the groomsmen do not all have to receive the same gifts but I want to give them something special. I want them to have something that can be monogrammed/personalized, something they can keep. I also want it to be something they would enjoy as well and could use. Please help!! Any suggestions are appreciated  |

| Emergency car kits are a good gift because they will actually be USED. Personalized Zippo lighters are also a good idea if your groomsmen smoke.Flasks and shot glasses/mugs are rarely used by the receiver... |

| Gift cards to their favorite restaurants so they can go out to eat whenever they don't feel like cooking. I know it's cliche but not alot of men don't know or don't like cooking. So a restaurant gift card is useful!hope this helps! |

| A night out is a good idea, maybe reward them before the wedding with the understanding that it is their gift. Go do something fun together and it will be more of a special gift than most of the duct collectors. If that doesnt work for you, my husband and I got them pocket knives on a keychain, engraved with their names, I've seen it on everyones keychain since the wedding. I think we got them at things remembered. |

| I came across this product when searching for my own groomsmen gifts:http://www.mygroomsmengifts.com/loden-personalized-cooler-emb036.htmlIt is a useful gift for almost anyone. It says it can be used for a more sophisticated looking insulated lunchbox for work/school/etc. or to be brought along on a picnic, watching fireworks, and probably a lot of other uses. It can be monogrammed for them as well. Not a bad price either!I hope this helps! =] |

| Duct tape is right, go to Things Remebered, and pick something out. Something small that they really will use. Skip the money clip, and the shot glasses and the beer stiens, they are not used. A keychain is nice, it might see daylight again. Cuff links are not a good choice, same thing, they may never get used. Then get something personal for each of them. Gift certificates work. Get one from a sports store, a hunting/fishing store, book store, music store, restaurant, gormet kitchen store, Blockbuster, whatever the man's interest is. My immediate boss told the woman on our team who is getting married she would not give her money, she would get her a present. The bride came back with "get me a gas card." We all took a cue from that, and are getting her some pretty lingerie, a cake, and if any money is left over, it will go in the card. And each of the team will decide what to get her for a wedding present, individually, or some might wish to go together for a really big gift card. |

| My husband was in a wedding 2 weeks ago and received a monogrammed luggage tag. We've used it once and received a lot of compliments. Each member of the wedding party also received a t-shirt printed with their respective roles in the wedding. They wore that to the rehersal and took a group picture - it was great! |

| My Fiance and I are getting our grooms mens money clips with there initials engraved on them, and inserted in the clip we have different gift certificated depending on what they like.example- his brother is into theatre/arts we got him tickets for a broadway show. My brother is into cars and trucks we got him a gift card for auto detailing. Just shows you thought about them individually. |
