Let’s just be honest, the bride controls the registry. It’s the place settings she wants, the home decor that she’s been saving on Pinterest for months, and the bedding that perfectly matches her color scheme. You want to get something for the groom, but don’t know where to start? Whether you’re a groomsman, a member of his family, or even the bride (we didn’t mean what we said, by the way, we’re sure you didn’t take control of the registry) these gifts are bound to make him happy.
1. Bar Accessories
Whether it’s a nice bottle of bourbon, beer flight set, or wine glasses, the possibilities for this one is pretty much endless. Showing that you know his drink of choice also shows that you care!
2. Grooming Accessories
Get him a gift that his bride will appreciate. A shaving set, new cologne and aftershave, or luxurious shower gel is sure to make his Mrs. happy!
3. An Experience
Avoid the awkward possibility of buying him a duplicate gift by giving him an experience! You know him best, what would he like? Concert tickets? A cooking class? A couple rounds of golf? Bonus points if it’s something he can do with his new bride.
4. Look the Part at Their Wedding
Let’s be honest, the best gift you can give him is to show him how much you respect him by looking the part at his wedding. That means a haircut, nice shave, and looking into men’s tux rental. If you show up looking like a gentleman and don’t make a drunken toast, he’ll be eternally grateful.
5. Stationary Set
Let him make a statement the next time he sends a note or memo with some stylish stationery! You can even include a quality ballpoint pen or custom envelopes to really make a splash.
6. A Speaker or Pair of Headphones
Help him get the most out of his favorite tunes! Give him the airpods he’s been lusting after, a pair of beats, or a Bluetooth speaker that he can enjoy wherever he is.
7. Outdoors Kit
Is the groom an outdoorsman? Give him a gift he can take into the wilderness. If he’s a camper, it could be a new tent. Or if he’s a fisher, it could be a new rod! A lantern, hiking boots, or quality cooler make excellent gifts, regardless of what their specific passion is.
8. Something Customized
You really can’t go wrong by putting his name on something. (And you know he won’t return it!) A custom handkerchief, wallet, flask, or cutting board would make a memorable wedding present.
9. Travel Gear
He’s about to jet off on his honeymoon, now’s the perfect time to gift him a quality duffle bag or passport holder. If he already has those covered, you can get him a sleep mask or loafers that are easy to slip on and off at security.
10. Stylish Accessories
Gift him an accessory that will help him look as cool as he is, like a pair of Ray Bans, a fancy tie clip, or some cufflinks.
Let the groom know that this is his special day too! Whether you’re searching for a gift for a bachelor shower (who says he can’t have one?), or just want to remind him that he’s being thought of on the day of the ceremony, these gifts are sure to knock his socks off! (P.S. Socks make an excellent gift too.)
