Updated Oct 19, 202014 Groomsmen Gift Boxes That Go the Extra Mile
More presents, more fun.
Your groomsmen will be by your side on one of the biggest days of your life. So why not go big with your groomsmen gifts? Lately, bridesmaid and groomsmen gift boxes have been replacing one-off thank-you presents. That's because they feel extra-thoughtful—and because the market is newly saturated with tons of cool and curated options. After all, what better time to get a little mushy with a special gift? (Just think how far you've all come since your college days or childhood family parties!) While more presents aren't necessarily more meaningful, the right groomsmen gift set will leave a lasting impression—as much as these options definitely left lasting impressions on us.

What makes a custom whiskey glass even better? Chilling stones to go with it. That way, your groomsmen can sip in style and enjoy every drink at the ideal temperature. Because that's how it's supposed to be done.
