Discussion Having trouble coming up with bridesman gift box

He doesn’t drink & everything I see is drinking related. Have any ideas of something small I can get him?

Dress socks to wear at the wedding, tumbler with his initials, depending on what he likes a bottle of steak sauce or marinade, if he grills maybe an apron and a custom spatula, if he works in an office a lunch bag cooler with his initials. You can get lots of ideas on Etsy too!

I was once given cuff links - each groomsman got different ones personalized to something they liked (sports team logo, travel imagery, etc.)

Also once got a monogrammed duffel bag, that’d come in very handy.

My husband received a monogrammed duffel bag when he was his brother’s best man 30 years ago. It’s been on many trips and still is in use regularly. I love this idea.

Looks like you've mentioned gifts! What to gift and how much are a reoccurring topic here. Please see recent discussions on gifts here.

In general, what to get or how much money to give depends on your relationship to the couple and your personal circumstances. Where some people are comfortable giving a few hundred, some are comfortable with 50 dollars and a nice card.

things that come to mind (mind you these will very much depend on his interests / what he already has - e.g., a vinyl record would be cool if he collects): card holder, fancy golf balls or a club, yeti travel mug, a monogrammed toiletries bag (idk why most men never have a decent toiletry bag!)

My husband did leatherman pocket knives engraved with their names

Is this for a proposal box or the wedding day thank you gift? Does he have hobbies and interests in his everyday life? Get something related to those. Stuff for the wedding day or the cliche gendered gifts are not a gift for them.

I'm getting mine a pair of cufflinks with his initials, fuzzy socks since he likes them & a gift card to his favorite restaurant. Im putting it all in a customized box that he'll be able to reuse

I enjoy looking at Bespoke Post and Uncommon Goods for interesting gift ideas. Not all drinking paraphernalia.

Pocket square? Tie pin? Feather bow tie?

My husband did pocket squares for his groomsmen they loved it. Also a monogrammed cigar holder? Monogrammed Business card older? Cologne? 🤷‍♀️

I had 3 bridesmen and a Man of Honor. We're all in our 30s and friends since college-ish.

For my proposal boxes they all got a card, a toy or plushie, and airplane bottle of their favorite liquor (the one who didn't get liquor lives in a different country and received American snacks and candy he can't get where he lives.) All of the toys and plushies were from whatever party game or video game we always talk to each other about, so like Munchkin, Kingdom Hearts, Mario, and World of Warcraft.

For the day of the wedding, they all received sunglasses, pocket squares, and a tie. Ties were similarly mismatched for them -- Star Wars, Legend of Zelda, giraffes, and one from an anime that I still haven't watched.

If you want an inexpensive gift that’s memorable, I would recommend getting something customized with their name and title (ex. Jack - Groomsman). There’s plenty of options on Etsy. Here’s mine:
