Groom's Gifts for Men

Select a memorable gift for the groom.

Many times at a wedding the bride is the star of the show, with the groom having more of a backstage role. However, you can bend tradition a bit and invest in a gift for the groom. Finding the groom a suitable gift can be a challenge. Change the status quo with a classical, unique gift showcasing your sentiments to the groom.

Classic Watch

Consider purchasing an elite, classic watch. Show your sentiments to the groom by investing in an engraved watch. This is a potentially expensive investment, albeit an impressionable gift for the groom. If you have trouble selecting a particular brand of watch, ask the groom's family and friends about potential options. Spring for a leather watch box to protect the watch as well.

Club Membership

Register the groom to an exclusive club. Inquire with the groom's family and friends about the groom's favorite activities and pastimes. Potential club memberships could include a gym membership, golf club membership, or any other sports club membership. This membership will show that you are aware of the groom's personal interests. Offer a joint account, allowing you to spend more time with the groom.

Beverages

Consider purchasing a bottle of the groom's favorite wine or spirits. Ask someone familiar with the groom what he would enjoy if you are not familiar with the groom's personal taste. Purchase a large bottle of his favorite drink. If he is not into alcohol, consider purchasing a nonalcoholic bubbly.

Memorable Experience

Instead of taking the traditional route, give him a memorable experience as a gift. This could be an all-paid, exclusive trip to his favorite vacation spot or a cruise. If traveling is not up his alley or if he cannot travel due to other constraints, purchase tickets to his favorite sports game or concert. Include the groomsmen in the experience, giving the guys a chance to hang out.
