3. An Exclusive Tipple

Alcohol may not sound very original as a gift, but it can be. Choose a rare wine or vintage year of scotch. How about something in a cool collector’s bottle or an import he can’t get at home? Perhaps you rather buy him a membership to a craft brew club in the area? Whatever you choose, we know he’ll appreciate it as much as you have valued his help.

4. Where There’s Smoke

Is your groomsman a smoker? If so, he’ll love the gift of a nice box of cigars and perhaps a monogrammed cigar cutter. Even if he is not a smoker, consider an empty, but personalized, wooden cigar box he can use to store personal items or just display on his desk or shelf. Either way, you’ll make an impression with your expression of gratitude.

6. Show Me the Money

No, we aren’t suggesting cash, but we do think they might need something to keep their cash under control. Consider a nice money clip with their name or initials etched into it. It’s a simple gesture that they can appreciate, especially when it comes to keeping their money together in one place.

8. We’ve Got the Ticket

Are your groomsmen sports fans? Perhaps they are more the theatre or concert type? Whatever the answer, you can be sure they’ll be delighted with tickets to that “thing” that they love.  Maybe they prefer something a bit more outdoorsy. Get them a ticket to the closest theme or adventure park.

9. Feed Them

They need to eat, right? Try a gift certificate to their favourite restaurant or a group night out where you treat them to a grand meal. You might even consider ordering specialty foods to present to them or have delivered to their homes. Gourmet beef jerky or a membership to a monthly food club that will send them something special each month are just a couple of ideas

10. Gift what they love

Is your groomsman a comic book nut or obsessed with sports? Show you care with a gift that’s truly personal to their interests.
