The Best Groomsmen Gift Ideas

Here are our top picks, from classic keepsakes to modern must-haves.

Gifts for the "Proposal"

These are great gifts to include when you ask your friends to be your groomsmen.

  • A "Groomsman Proposal" Box: A curated box with a mini bottle of their favorite liquor, a cigar, and a card that officially asks the question. The best man gift box is often a slightly more premium version of this.
  • A Personalized Beer Mug or Whiskey Glass: A high-quality glass engraved with "Groomsman" and their name.

Gifts for the Bachelor Party

Get the party started with these fun and functional gifts.

  • Matching T-Shirts or Hats: A classic for a reason. Create a fun, custom design for the whole crew to wear during the bachelor weekend.
  • A High-Quality Cooler: A fantastic group gift for the groom to bring, filled with everyone's favorite drinks.
  • A Set of Playing Cards & Poker Chips: For a classic guys' night in.
The best groomsmen gift I ever got was something I could actually use on the wedding day itself, like a cool pair of customized socks or a stylish tie bar.

Gifts for the Wedding Day ("Thank You" Gifts)

These are the classic gifts to give at the rehearsal dinner to thank them for their support.

  • An Engraved Flask or Pocket Knife: A timeless and personal groomsman gift.
  • A High-Quality Leather Wallet or Dopp Kit: A practical and sophisticated gift of everyday luxury.
  • A Stylish Watch: A very generous gift, often reserved for the best man, but a fantastic group gift from the groom. For more ideas for your number one guy, see our guide to the best man gift ideas.
While individual gifts are great, the best gift is often a shared experience. Consider planning a post-wedding group activity, like a brewery tour or a golf outing, as a final thank you.
