Last night while Mr. H and I were eating dinner, the topic of groomsmen’s gifts came up. I’d been bugging Mr. H for months to try and come up with some ideas, so that we aren’t stuck buying everything last minute. With less than 100 days left until the wedding, it’s looking like it will be last minute after all. Here are a few ideas I came up with, all shot down by Mr. H:
1) Cuff links - While a very popular choice, if we bought them sterling silver cuff links with their initials engraved in them, it would be something they could keep forever, which I think is important.

2) Personalized Coolers - This is one of my personal favorites - how fun would it be to have a nice cooler emblazoned with their initials, filled with their favorite beer and ready to go?

3) iPods - While I think these are a great gift, some of the groomsmen in our wedding are technologically behind and don’t even have a computer, which is pretty necessary with one of these.

I have to admit, none of my ideas are super original. I guess that while I’ve been thinking about the entire wedding and cute gifts for my girls, I’ve kinda let the poor boys get pushed to the back of my mind. When Mr. H and I were talking and I couldn’t think of anything, he asked me to use my best resources - the girls of the hive - to come up with some ideas.
What are your fiances planning on giving their groomsmen (or what did your husbands give)? While we are trying to keep the pricing at a reasonable amount, I’d love to hear all ideas from every end of the spectrum!
Definitely the ipod!! My FI got an ipod shuffle as a groomsmen gift and it’s the only gm gift he’s used. He’s an avid runner so it’s perfect for him. I think the shuffles are about $50, if you wanted to spend a little more you could also include an itunes gift card. I think anybody–groomsmen or bridesmaid–would love that gift!!
