There are so many stories on finding fab bridesmaid gifts but what about the guys and butch women? Forget the cuff links and the flask, and get your groomsmen and best man or woman stylish gifts that they’ll use every day.
Owen & Fred: The Store for Men offers a wide selection of home items, grooming products and accessories. I personally love the concrete coasters, available in a number designs, but you’ll also find leather goods (wallets, belts), iPhone and iPad accessories and a category of products that were all made in the USA.
When shopping for groomsmen gifts, keep in mind a few things:
| Select something personal. Don’t just get cuff links or a monogrammed mug because that’s what you think you’re supposed to give. Each gift should be something that the receiver will appreciate. | |
| Spend what you can afford. Look at your wedding budget and allocate a portion toward wedding party thank-you gifts. You don’t have to spend the same amount on each person as long as the same amount of thoughtfulness went into the gift. | |
| Shop early. Start looking for gifts a few months before the wedding so you’re not rushed to buy anything at the last minute. | |
| Write a thank-you note. Remember to include a personal note with each gift thanking each person for his help in planning the wedding (and bachelor party), as well as for his or her friendship. |
Featured products: concrete drink coasters, leather wallet, shaving kit, iPad case
