23 Best Groomsmen Gifts for 2023 (And why they kill every time!)

Groomsmen gifts are a tricky beast. Let’s face it, it’s probably the one time in your life you’re going to buy all of your buddies something cool that doesn’t flow out of a tap. Here are the two key ingredients for getting the best groomsmen gifts for your wedding party:

  1. Make it Personalized - There’s nothing cooler than receiving an unexpected gift that’s made just for you. Seeing their name or a personal message on an already awesome item makes for a special moment between you and your significant brother.
  2. Make it Enduring - If you’re going to give unique groomsmen gifts, make them something that your buddies can continue to use once the festivities have subsided.

Whatever your groomsmen are into, we have you covered. Here’s 23 of the best groomsmen gifts for 2023 and beyond:

 

 

- Whiskey Decanter Set

 

What’s awesome about it? - Let’s face it, it’s probably the classiest thing your groomsmen are ever going to own. It’s a home-bar staple, and chances are they don’t already have one. Engrave their name and birth year on it, and with each one coming in your choice of a super-swanky gift box or a wooden crate, it’s a home run every single time. 

Why will they love it? - Not only does it give them an absolutely stunning piece of custom glassware, but it also gives them an amazing excuse to go shopping for a killer bottle of scotch.It's a win-win!

You can engrave their last name or initials into one of the three styles on offer, and you can be certain it will already be in use by the time they’re heading home from your wedding. 

Why will they love it?2022 is the year we’re all starting to travel again. Let’s face it, nobody hits a trip without one of these in their carry-on. This is most likely a serious upgrade on their current carry.

- Bartender Bottle Opener

What’s awesome about it? - First, it’s a great price-point for those on a tighter budget or with a gigantic wedding party. And also, if your dudes are more brew boys than whiskey sippers, it’s a great gift to have in abundance lying around the groom’s room. Shaped out of beech wood and stainless steel, it’s weighty and legitimately top quality.

Why will they love it? - Every dude needs a go-to bottle opener, and this is as good as it gets. Classy enough to be displayed on a home bar, and durable enough to make it through even the sloppiest of summer BBQs. It’s a perfect keepsake, and if you ever stop by their house you’re sure to see it again.

- Matte Black Steel Flask

What’s awesome about it? - This isn’t like that goofy tin piece of junk you got from Kyle’s wedding. You know the one, you squeeze it and it flexes in and out. Not this.

Why will they love it? - It’s the perfect on-the-day gift for your best dudes. They can fill up in the dressing room, slip it into their jacket and sip away in style as the day unfolds.

- Super-Slim Front Pocket Wallet 

What’s awesome about it? - As wallets go, this slim cardholder is the safest bet for a wedding party. And it also happens to come at a really affordable price. Everyone has their wallet preferences, but even if you’re a classic bifold guy, there’s always a need to have a cardholder to fall back on. Throw on a pair of skinny jeans and tell me I’m wrong!

Why will they love it? - It’s a timeless wallet, with their name engraved into the leather. Looks and feels amazing, and it’s guaranteed to get a ton of use. What’s not to love?

- Vintage Cuban Box

What’s awesome about it?First off, they definitely don’t have one of these! Not only are they a beautiful standalone piece, but they’re also highly functional as far as groomsmen gift ideas go. You can either fill it with a couple of nice stogies, OR you can add other wedding day items such as socks, tie clips, cufflinks, and even a hip flask.

Why will they love it? - It’s something that they’ll keep forever, whether they keep it stocked with cubans, fill it with keepsakes, or use it to hide their miniature figurine paint from people who actually have lives.

- Beer Glass Set

What’s awesome about it? - Bit of a silly question for this one. It’s a custom set of beer glasses - with your name laser-engraved on there for eternity. There ain’t much classier a gift for a bunch of beer lovers. Bust out the IPAs in style for the after-party. Comes in a set of 4, so there’s plenty to go round.

Why will they love it? - All of the above. Your boys will be over the moon to stack their cabinets with these personalized pint glasses after getting home from the wedding of the year.

- Leather Catchall Tray

What’s awesome about it? - This is the perfect gift for a guy who has everything. It’s best defined as a thing that holds all your stuff. Great for an entryway table to hold keys, shades and coins, or for a work-from-home desk to hold chargers, fidget spinners and guitar picks (I’m not very productive).

Why will they love it? - Pretty safe bet that none of your guys already has one of these, and all of them need one! And it’s another gift they’ll literally use every day and will be reminded on the regular how much better a groom you are than freakin Kyle and his goofy tin flasks and socks.

- Birch Shaving Set

What’s awesome about it? - It’s a must-have item for any manly man, and one that few guys actually possess. Carved from solid birch and topped with genuine (sustainable) badger hair, this is a truly unique set that will blow their minds.

Why will they love it? - It’s about as one-of-a-kind as you can get when it comes to personalized gifts. They will feel the quality of it in the weight alone. Not for those on a tight budget, but great for smaller wedding parties.

Why will they love it? - You know, it's not just the groom that gets nervous on the big day. Your boys are on stage too, and will appreciate a little something to calm the nerves. And as the old saying goes, “Give a groomsman a fish and you feed him for a day. Give him a personalized Glass Hip Flask and he’ll probably think you’re awesome for a long long time.”

Guaranteed to blow their minds and freshen their nostrils. 

Why will they love it? - It’s definitely unlike anything they will have ever received as a groomsmen gift, and it’s a super practical option, that they will definitely use and appreciate. Especially if they’re still using the same body wash as when they got their first armpit hairs (very likely).

What’s awesome about it? - A leather wallet is a classy, high-quality accessory that they may actually keep in their pocket for the rest of their lives.

Why will they love it? - Most people who have and use cufflinks, even just on rare occasions, possess just one set, that they probably inherited from their dad, who inherited them from his dad. And they probably cost $4. Having a sweet custom set in the closet is always a boss move.

- Men's Essentials Kit

What’s awesome about it? - If there was one groomsmen gift you wanted in your back pocket on a desert island it would be this. Essentials for good reason.

Another exception to the “personalized” rule, but so practical it’s hard to overlook, and majorly cost-effective.

- Whiskey Glasses

What’s awesome about it? - Super cost-effective option that come across way more expensive than they actually are.

What’s awesome about it? - Men love cash. It’s just a fact. Meat, booze …cash.
