What To Include in a Groomsmen Gift Box?
Here on the Stag Pack blog, we seek to help all our engaged brethren out there who may be in the market for a groomsmen gift. We try to come up with ideas that will help explain things like how to choose a best man, what to consider when choosing a groomsman, and other important questions that you, as a groom, may be looking for.
We started this company from a place of need when we realized it wasn’t easy to find a good gift for a stag raffle, which is a customary experience for any man getting married here in our hometown of Buffalo, NY. The next thing we considered was the customization of a box that can be given as a groomsman's gift. Today on the blog, we want to talk about a few ideas you can consider to include in your groomsmen gift box.
You don’t HAVE to give a groomsmen gift in a box, but by doing so, you offer each groomsmen an opportunity to open it up and see what’s inside. Any kid who’s opened a gift on Christmas or their birthday knows the anticipation of WHAT'S IN THE BOX!? There are plenty of different directions you can go in with what you choose to include in your gift box, but we figured we’d break it down into 5 categories to choose from or include.
Here are 5 types of items to consider including in your groomsmen gift box!
-
Something Useful
-
Something Personal
-
Something Funny
-
Something Cool
-
Something They’ll Remember
Something Useful
The first consideration for what to include in your groomsmen gift box is just consider something useful! What can a brother use? If he’s a cigar guy, then he can always use a humidor or a nice travel case for if he’s out on the town or on vacation. If he’s a traveler, then including a nice travel mug or backpack could definitely be useful!
Something Personal
These guys wouldn’t be your groomsmen if you didn’t have a personal relationship with them! You don’t have to be all mushy-gushy or anything, you just have to think about something that ties together your friendship. Maybe it's a sport, maybe it’s a job you worked together. Maybe it's your hometown team. Creating a connection with your gift and your personal relationship is a surefire way to know you’re getting a good groomsmen gift. Hell, maybe its just BEER that brings you together!
Something Funny
There’s always the gag route. Anyone with a good sense of humor will enjoy a gift that’s based on a joke. Maybe it's an inside joke going back to when you were both kids. Maybe it’s about a touchy subject that you don’t exactly tell everybody. (that one night!) Thinking about getting a funny groomsmen gift can be as simple as focusing the theme of the gift on something that you guys think is funny. Incorporating nicknames and past memories can ensure that you include something that’s fun, and sometimes that’s all you gotta do!
Something Cool.
When it comes to choosing what types of items to incorporate into a groomsmen gift box, sometimes it just comes down to something cool! Thinking about things that guys love, like knives, whiskey, and liquor! Who doesn’t love a new knife engraved with their name on it? What guy is going to have a problem with getting a custom decanter to store their top-shelf whiskey like a boss? Who doesn’t love a custom leather-bound golf score book!?
Something they’ll remember.
They may not remember every part of your wedding day if they have had enough drinks, but when you’re considering what type of gift to buy for your buddies, just simply get something they’ll remember. It doesn’t need to be perfect, just find items that have a meaning that they will appreciate. Don’t overthink it, but don’t underthink it either. As long as it has some connection to your friendship, they will remember it.
