22 Best Groomsmen Gifts for 2022 (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.

- 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.

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.

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.

- 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.

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.
