Groomsman Gifts

Anybody give this any thought yet?

I am having my brother as my best man, my best friend, her cousin and her brother as the other groomsman.

My brother and best freind are easy because I know their personalities are much like my own. Her cousin and brother are not the same (not even really close).

I have plenty of time to decide but I am not sure if I should go with simuliar gifts for everybody or different. I am not even sure what would be a "good gift."

Re: Groomsman Gifts

my sister and brother in law gave us all fossil watches. i thought it was a great idea b/c i still get good use of it and its been three years since the wedding. tom

Re: Groomsman Gifts

The watch is the most common gift. All of the wedding party's I have been in I always got a watch. For my party I was thinking about doing something else, maybe a gold chain or an engraved wrist chain. I am not sure yet but it would be nice to give them something that they can wear the day of the wedding.

Re: Groomsman Gifts

I've gotten a money clip and cufflinks. But those were things I've had before and they knew I would use.

I was in a party where everyone got the same thing except the best man and another party where everyone got different things...

I guess the only common thing was the best man got something different and a little more expensive.

Re: Groomsman Gifts

I personally am going to get each of my men different gifts that fit their lifestyles and or character. I feel it warrants a sentiment that I have a Brotherly and or friendship connection to each of them . But that's just me.

Re: Groomsman Gifts

This one guy I work with got a cigar cutter knife from his best friend. It's also a money clip. He swears it the best wedding gift he ever recieved.

Re: Groomsman Gifts

Sorry to butt in but Things Remembered has some great gift ideas - cuff links, money clips, watches, etc. I posted a 20% off coupon code on "brides helping brides" last week so do a search for "things remembered coupon" and it should come up. If not, FM me!
Good luck!

Re: Groomsman Gifts

I was thinking about doing the watch thing, but one of my groomsmen just got a watch a month ago for being the godfather of a mutual's friends baby. So now I have no clue what I will be getting them...

Re: Groomsman Gifts

Sorry to jump onto the boys board but a friend of FH and I was just a groomsman and received what i think are really cool gifts. The groom signed him up for 6 months to both the Beer of the Month Club and the Wine of the Month club along with an Omaha Steak gift certificate.

Re: Groomsman Gifts

Probably shouldn't be here but.. my FI got all the groomsman engraved Rawlings baseball bats. (they are all on the same softball team) so it worked.. just an idea.. something different!!

Re: Groomsman Gifts

I wanted to post about this on here to get some insight from the guys, what would you most like to receive as a gm gift, or what is the best thing you have recevied? What do you not like?

I gave my Brother (Bestman) an engraved Ipod mini ( the nano wasn't out yet), and the the rest of my groomsmen Ipod shuffles. They all love them.
