What to Get for Groomsmen Gifts

Before you whip out your credit card, it's important to know what you're looking for in a groomsman gift. "At Swanky Badger, our most popular groomsmen gifts all share two characteristics," says Hanratty. The trick? They're practical and personal. "It can be as simple as having their name or initials engraved on the gift, or you can go as far as incorporating a message on the gift thanking them for being there for you for all those years."

And custom engravings aren't the only way to make a gift feel special. Choosing something that shows your guys just how well you know them is equally thoughtful, like a lapel pin that displays their love for golf or a pocket square embroidered with their furry best friend.

How you present your gift can also add a personal touch to the gesture. "In an ideal world, you should try to get a moment alone with each guy and have a little one-to-one chat to let them know how much you appreciate them, and then present the gift," says Hanratty. Alternatively, he suggests using the rehearsal dinner as an opportunity to publicly say a few words about each groomsman, and then hand over their presents. If you feel more comfortable putting pen to paper, that's okay too. Include a groomsman card with a thank-you message with each gift to give the same sentiment.

"There's a good chance your groomsmen already have personalized koozies or custom lighters from past weddings they've been in—but we'll bet they *don't* have a desktop putting green. Let's face it: We all get a little antsy at our desk from time to time, so we bet your friends will be enamored by this pen set that doubles as a low-key work toy. Plus, every time they pull out the putting green, they'll be reminded of your big day. That's a tee-rific gift, in our eyes." —Sarah Hanlon, Entertainment & Celebrity Editor

Monogrammed Leather Duffle

"​​My fiancé was gifted a travel bag from The Man Registry for one of his best friend's weddings just over two years now, and it looks the same as when he received it (and that's after many weekend trips). As big fans of practical gifts, the vegan leather has held up beautifully and the size is perfect. It's his go-to bag for any trips out of town. Also! The personalization is a game changer to ensure someone doesn't accidentally go home with the wrong bag in the shuffle of cleaning up post-wedding. Pro tip: It makes for cohesive shots in game-day-inspired arrival photos!" —Taylor Whitten, Content Strategy Lead
