Best Gifts For Your Groom

If you’re planning on exchanging gifts with your groom the morning of your wedding, you may be wondering what to buy. (After all, it’s hard enough to buy him a birthday gift.) Don’t fret! The best gifts for grooms are often inexpensive, personalized sentiments that express your love and affection. Your groom gift could be something to wear, like a monogrammed watch; something for your upcoming honeymoon, like designer sunglasses; or an inexpensive framed photo of you both. Below are a few of our favorite gifts for your groom.

Personalized cufflinks or money clips

Personalized cufflinks and money clips are stylish and inexpensive. They are also items your groom will cherish for years to come.

We like the idea of monogrammed luggage for the groom getting ready to embark on a honeymoon journey, like this camouflage overnighter from Mark and Graham.

An outdoor kit

Okay, so the gift idea above isn’t romantic; but, if your husband-to-be is an outdoorsman, he will love knowing he has your support of his outdoor pursuits from Day One. The kit above is from Man Crates, and they have several fun options.

… Ditto with the the golf clubs.

See a handy guide on what goes into a complete golf club set here. (But, don’t think you need to buy a whole set! A nice driver will do.)

A complete dopp kit

Perfect for a man preparing for his honeymoon, a dopp kit filled with grooming favorites is both fun and thoughtful. See the helpful graphic below from The Art of Manliness for ideas on what to put into your groom’s dopp kit.

Leather driving shoes or gloves

If your groom’s tastes lean toward the sophisticated, consider a nice pair of leather driving moccasins, like these from Brooks Brothers.

When to give your groom his gift

Wondering when to exchange gifts with your groom? An article in Bride’s recommends choosing a moment in the morning before the wedding day chaos begins, right before the ceremony (after your groom has dressed), or in between the wedding and the reception.
