The wedding is coming up and you have just about everything figured out. Clothes are picked out, hall is rented and the band is ready to rock. The long process of getting everything together is almost over and there is a small suspicion that something is missing. That final thing that you have to finish is the gifts for the groomsmen. Now this might not be as important as the rest of the things you need to do, but a lot of people get stuck on what to get without spending an obscene amount. Many people go with very generic gifts that don’t match the people that are receiving them. Although I can’t get into every possible scenario that these gifts can be used for, I will say that you should try to get gifts that will be used by the people that are going to be receiving them. Here are a few ideas that will match up well with the right person.
For the drinkers of the group, there are a number of options that will go over well at the after party. If they are drinkers of a certain type of poison, go ahead and buy a bottle of that specific one. You know the person better than me, so figure out what is a good choice for them. If they are beer drinkers and a thirty case seems a strange gift, a personalized mug is a good choice. It shows that you thought about them in advance and got them something just for them. Be creative with this, use your mind and if you need help, check out a general website like www.thingsremembered.com and look around for something personalized that would be enjoyed by the recipient.
Not everyone is a drinker though, so there needs to be plans for everyone. Some friends might be work horses that sit inside a cubicle all day awaiting the light of day. This boring existence can be lightened up with a simple desk game of sorts that can be played at times when things are slow, while being able to be overlooked. Try to get something that is not loud enough to draw attention, but lively enough to make an impact. Miniature pool tables are a good choice, but some look cheap so try to find something that looks like it is worth being given as a gift. No dollar store rip offs please.
Personalized gifts always show forward thinking and as such are appreciated more. Another possible idea for close friends are tickets to their favorite sports teams. This gives them the opportunity to have fun with the gift and remember the fact you gave them something they will enjoy in the future. For anyone that you have little to no idea what to get, the generic visa gift cards are a great last resort. They might not be personalized at all, but they give them the ability to get exactly what they want.
