1. Personalized Hip Flask
One of the most traditional gifts to be given to the groomsmen, is a hip flask, which might be something that is engraved, personalized, or made special in some way. With today’s technology, there are ways to superimpose photos on a hip flask, as well as personalizing it with the name of the bride and groom, and even the date, and then you can still put the individual’s name on the flask as well. A top quality flask dealer will probably do all of this for YOU for FREE!
Top Quality Flasks will usually be tested and leak-proof, and they will usually be made of stainless steel. You might even opt for hip flasks that come along with a pair of stylish shot glasses, and a handy funnel, and all in a handsome gift box!
2. Multipurpose Pocket Knife
Other soon-to-be-married couples choose to give their groomsmen a stylish little pocket knife, and perhaps something with many functions, such as a Swiss Army knife! This is also a nice memento and it can be carried by the gentleman to remind him of his friendship, and it can come in handy in a variety of situations.
3. Compact Digital Camera
Small, compact digital cameras are another fairly inexpensive, yet fun item to give as a gift, and some couples have been known to use these. In fact, they might inspire the groomsmen to snap as many photos as they can at the wedding and the reception. Naturally, a professional photographer will be there to get the “official wedding photos,” but the groomsmen can take all sorts of candid shots, which could be loads of fun to look at in the future.
Overall, the most traditional, and most popular gift to give your groomsmen is a top quality hip flask. These days, there are so many sizes, shapes, styles and options to choose from! We just happen to know a swell source for this kind of gift ;)
But in all seriousness, being a groomsman is tough work! Whatever you end up getting your best guys, make sure it conveys your appreciation for all they have done. After all, it takes a really special friend to be able to clean up after you when you've had too much to drink and then be willing to sweat it out in the heat of the day, wearing a spiffed out tuxedo at your wedding ceremony.
