What to Personalize on a Groomsmen Gift

2010-02-23T08:04:00.000-08:00

Here is a touchy subject because their are so many opinions and here is ours. Finding the perfect gift for your best man and groomsmen is a time consuming task. We can cut that with the large selection of groomsmen gifts we offer.

One thing you must remember, this is a gift for thanking your guys for standing up for you on one of the biggest days of your life. So just like your bride to be you have to be ahead of the plan and order early. Having an idea of what to get is a plus, if not search and you shall find. Once you find something, what do you put on the gift?

One thing I tell our clients is that this is not a wedding favor, so try not to put to much on the item. Things like a wedding date on a gift is a tough one to swallow for a guy. This maybe the reason we see so many of these gifts in the garage sale later on down the road. We try to tell the groom Monogram or Name is enough on the item and the recipient will use it much more. How many guys would break out the mug with the wedding date on it as opposed to the one with just his name or initials on it. So guys keep it simple and share this advice with your bride so she doesn't go off on you for keeping the date off your wedding party gifts.

2010-02-15T09:30:00.000-08:00

Grooms on your wedding day things can and will be very chaotic. Vendor's are working setting up and people are moving in different directions, you are taking what seems like a million pictures. Yet everyone seems pretty calm, because they have done this a thousand times. You on the other hand are going to through this for your first time. So get your best man and have a little game plan and pack your Groom's survival kit to take you through the wedding day and be prepared when Murphy's Law strikes.
Let's start with the necessities.
Aspirin - you may need this from the bachelor party you had the night before or a a good rehearsal dinner.
Tums - pretty much for the same reason as above plus the nerves may be kicking in.
Bandages - Cuts do happen and there is never one around when you need it.
Vitamin Pack - Good Start to the day.
Energy Drink - although this can come in handy, it may make you tired later in the day or evening. So think before you drink.
Stain Remover Pen - good to have because you never know. We don't carry bibs with us.
Extra Pair of Socks - You are going to start early with pictures and standing around waiting a lot. So after the ceremony it may be a good idea to change socks, so your feet feel refreshed and you be ready to party at the reception.
Safety Pin - Just in case something malfunctions. It will come in handy and well as your Macgyver skills.
Flask - Don't hit it to much but a little swig to calm the nerves could help.

Needle and thread - if it splits or tears you will be prepared.
Deodorant, Cologne - Never let them see you sweat.

Nail clippers, Mirror, Lint brush - you never know.

When Is the Best Time to Give your Groomsmen Gifts

2010-02-11T14:18:00.000-08:00

The question about when is the best time to give your groomsmen gifts out? comes up often at GroomsOnline Gifts.

We think the best time for the giving the gifts out to the wedding party is at the rehearsal dinner. The dinner is very casual usually and the gifts go home that night with out the worry of having them during the reception. The reception day is very hectic and usually the bride and groom are busy going through the pictures, ceremony and reception formalities.

Although there are groomsmen and best man gifts that are given out that can be used during the reception. A couple of gifts that comes to mind is the Personalized Flasks, Personalized Cuff Links or Personalized money clips are just a few.

So give yourself enough to select the best groomsmen gifts for your wedding party, usually 2-3 weeks before the time you give them out.

Groomsmen gifts for the Golfer

2009-06-17T08:30:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow is the start to the US Open. It's also father's Day on Sunday so what a great time to grab a cold one with dad and get in front of the tube. I have come across a great thirst quenching cocktail that will keep you going back for more and more. Lets start with the recipe for the 19th hole that is very refreshing. I had this on the course about a week ago, The Sweet tea Vodka and Lemonade will be the drink this summer, so move over you cosmos, mojitos and margaritas. Some may call this a John Daly, The non alcoholic version is the Arnold Palmer. They both taste delicious. The problem with the vodka sweet tea and lemonade is it tastes so good you can keep going till you stand up after the 4 or 5th one.
There are many companies that make this sweet tea vodka like Seagrams, Jerimiah Weed and Firefly Vodka.

So go to your supermarket or liquor store and pick up a bottle and some lemonade. We use frozen minute maid but I think any good brand will do for the mix.
Get the golf pint and shot glass set for the drinks. Pour 1 1/2 shots of sweet tea vodka, add Ice, fill the rest up with lemonade and kick back and relax and enjoy!
Drink Responsibly! Don't Drink and Drive

Cool Groomsmen Gift Personalized Coolers

2008-12-03T09:15:00.001-08:00

Coolers are handy and functional for picnickers, campers and tailgaters. Tossing a few cold beverages in the car for a day trip or shouldering a few along on the way from the parking area to the beach makes life so much more enjoyable. Almost anyone can use a cooler, so consider giving a practical groomsman gift that almost anyone can enjoy and use over and over again in the form of a personalized cooler

We offer a variety of coolers in various sizes and colors, all of which carry our personalized touch. More than that, these coolers are made of only the highest quality materials in both the body and the straps so you know they will be durable. The nylon of the outer shells is resistant to both tearing and staining so that the cooler stays looking neat and clean. This all means that your groomsman will have his cooler to use for years to come.

Now, we may call them coolers, but the fact is they also function if you are trying to keep food or drinks warm as well. Packing some hot food and coffee for breakfast on the beach or some cocoa for that tailgate party is easy with one of these insulated bags. Anything up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit is safe to use in these bags.

At groomsonlinegifts.com we know that one size doesn’t always fit all, so we offer three sizes to chose from. The 6 packer is our smallest, but we also offer the 12 packer and the 24 packer as well. As you might guess, each size is large enough to hold the designated number of beverage cans. All our coolers come in a variety of colors and patters as well, so you can customize each gift to your groomsman’s individual tastes. You can also have his name or initials embroidered on to the cooler for that final, perfect touch.

Groomsmen Gifts - Personalized Leather Toiletry Bags with Removable Pouch

2008-11-25T11:39:00.000-08:00

Traveling can be a real hassle, especially in terms of keeping all of your personal items organized while you are on the road. Even a short trip requires that a man take a certain overhead of personal items with him. If you have a groomsman (or groomsmen) in your party that are frequent travelers, then consider the stylish and practical groomsman gift of one of our Personalized Leather Toiletry Bags With Removable Pouch.

This is one of the nicest and best organized men’s toiletry bags we have ever seen. For starters, it is made from a high-quality Nappa leather so it is very sharp looking as well as being durable. It’s waterproof interior lining helps guard against damage from spills and drips, just in case any bottles don’t get capped off well.

Inside are two zippered compartments for storage of personal items. Drop in what you need, zip the top closed and know that nothing will come out until taken out at the destination. A series of elastic loops helps hold down cans and bottles so things not only are organized but secure as well.

The entire bag can be hung up in the closet when your groomsman reaches his destination, reducing the inevitable clutter in the hotel bathroom. A removable net pouch not only increases the space to organize in, but it too hangs on a standard rod for convenience.

This bag is available from groomsonlinegifts.com in three colors: Black, burgundy and tan are available to compliment any man’s luggage. Lastly, we emboss it with your groomsman’s initials for the personalized touch every one appreciates.

(Psst… This is something that you could use for yourself on the honeymoon. As long as you are ordering for the guys, consider picking one up for yourself.)

Surviving the Bachelor Party!

2008-11-24T10:48:00.000-08:00

Okay look, not every groomsman gift has to be serious, somber and something they will “treasure for a lifetime.” Sometimes it’s really cool to kick back and add a little something that is just for fun. Something that makes a really fun groomsman’s gift (as well as adding a little humor to the occasion) is our “Bachelor Party Survivor Badge Of Merit” T-shirt.

Give one of these shirts to each member of the party to commemorate what was (you hope) a pretty intense party. On the chest of the shirt is the badge, complete with your name, the year the party occurred and pictures of the traditional two vices of a bachelor’s “last night out.” We could tell you what the two vices are, but that would spoil the surprise. Go click on the link above and take a look for yourself. Above and below the badge is text proclaiming the wearer to have been proud to attend and to survive your party.

Oh don’t worry. These shirts may memorialize a wild and crazy event, but they are in quite good taste and are acceptable to wear out in public. We at groomsonlinegifts.com may be a bit wild ourselves, but we do have a sense of decorum.

The shirts themselves are a basic white tee, made of micro-fiber and spun polyester fabric that combines comfort and durability.

Order a set of shirts for everyone (yourself included) and hand them out the next day (or if it was truly a wild night out, maybe the day after that). All of you will have your “badge” to show that you had a great time celebrating a special occasion together. And you will have kept a sense of humor in your gift giving as well.

Personalized Leather Blackberry Case for Groomsmen Gifts

2008-11-19T08:54:00.000-08:00

Today’s world is full of electronic devices for communication and productivity. Pagers and “personal digital assistants” seem to be going the way of the dinosaurs, but in their place are so-called “smartphones” including the most well known example, the Blackberry. A Blackberry is a huge investment and needs to be well cared for. A luxurious and practical groomsman gift for the Blackberry owner(s) in your party is our Personalized Leather Blackberry Case.

Soft padded Nappa leather cradle the delicate device firmly and safely. It can be put in a briefcase with the knowledge that it is protected from sharp impacts and shocks.

If, like so many of us, your groomsman wants to wear his Blackberry on his hip, he can use the attached clip to clip the case on to his belt. The case is not only protecting his device but looks very stylish and professional as well. For a little more security he can thread his belt through the belt loop in the back of the case to make sure the case and Blackberry don’t accidentally pop off his belt. The clip can also be used to attach the case directly to the waistband of pants or the strap of a shoulder bag.

The case includes a top flap that completely covers the Blackberry inside for maximum protection. A Velcro strip securely fastens the flap shut.

groomsonlinegifts.com offers this case in two colors. The classic black will fit almost anyone’s style. The coco brown offers a change of pace while still being an appropriate part of even the most conservative business wardrobe. And of course, as is the case with all our gifts, personalization is available. You can order your groomsman’s initial embossed on to the case for that perfect finishing touch.

Personalized Poker Sets Excellent Gifts For Your Groomsmen

2008-11-17T09:29:00.000-08:00

Poker has always been popular in American culture. Poker is even featured on ESPN, although some of us at groomsonlinegifts.com are trying to figure out exactly how it is a sport. Poker night with friends is not exactly a new concept, but it is one we can always work on making a little bit better. Personalized poker sets make a cool groomsmen gift that will get used and enjoyed for years. We have 19 different poker sets, each with it’s own design and personality.

Does your best man have a tropical theme to his parties? Get him the Tiki Poker Set with his name imprinted on the top of the case. Dice, chips and cards are included along with a wooden case for easy storage and transportation.

Is your groomsman a cigar lover? We have a cigar based set that makes him the owner of his own cigar company. Only this time, the cigar box is full of chips and cards. Want to add something more to your groomsman’s gift? Don’t forget the wide range of cigar-based accessories we offer to compliment this set.

We have a range of sports-related sets as well. Billiards, baseball, auto racing, hunting and football are all represented in their own sets. For the golfers in your party there are two different choices, one for the standard game and one for the long-drive champion.

This isn’t the entire list of choices, but it does show the range available to you if you are thinking of a poker set as a groomsman’s gift. Each set comes with the recipient’s name worked in to the design on the cover for that personalization that will give the set a little something extra. Click on one of the links above to see just how many ways there are to give this gift.

Groomsmen Gifts Personalized Charging Station Organizes Tech Clutter

2008-11-13T07:09:00.000-08:00

How many handheld electronic devices do you have lying around? Everyone seems to have several these days, and we here at groomsonlinegifts.com are no exception. Personal cell phones, the Blackberry from work, MP3 player, whatever else. We bet your groomsmen do too, so we have an attractive and practical groomsmen gift in our catalog to help keep all those devices in control and fully charged.

Check out our personalized charging station. This is a personal accessory that will be appreciated by the men you give one to each and every day, because it is more than just an organizer for electrical cords.

Four slanted and felt lined compartments allow you to store and charge up to four devices simultaneously without an ugly tangle of cords. The chargers are hidden inside the station, out of sight. Each night, your groomsman can stash all those little modern accessories in the station knowing that they will be fully charged and ready to use again in the morning.

A felt lined tray across the top provides a place for other pocket items such as pens, change, wallet and keys. One unit helps organize at night all the personal items your groomsmen carry around each day.

But there is more to this station that just functionality. The wooden unit is finished in an attractive cherry stain so it functions as an attractive piece on almost any bureau or bedside table. The brushed silver nameplate, engraved with your groomsman’s initials, adds a distinctive and elegant touch to the unit.

Each night, every thing he needs for the next day will be there in one place, neat and orderly ready to use the next day. This gift will help neaten and clean your groomsman’s bedroom while helping ensure his personal electronic accessories never again suffer from drained batteries during his busy day.

Personalized Around You Art - Gifts for the Bride or Groom

2008-11-11T13:35:00.000-08:00

Okay, so do you want to give your groomsman the ultimate in personalized gifts? What could be more personalized than their own name? Here at groomsonlinegifts.com we have an artistic groomsmen gift that functions both as a memento of the time he helped you celebrate your wedding and as art for his home.

We have a gift that lets you turn his name in to art. You tell us his name and add a short message you would like to include, and we turn it in to a unique and interesting piece of art for his home. Interesting and artistic photographs of common, everyday objects are assembled to spell out his name. If you just looked at these objects in real life you might not see the letters embedded in them, but our photographer sees them and will pass his vision on to you and your groomsman.

Each letter is printed in grey-scale and matted in the frame to spell out his name (or any other short word you chose). Below his name we include a short message of up to 80 characters to personalize this gift with a personal message from you. Put the two together, and your groomsman has a spectacular piece of art to hang on his wall.

We provide two options, one for short names and one for longer names. Each piece of art is matted and framed in a black wooden frame for you, so there is no running around trying to finish off this gift. All the frames are 8 inches high and either 18 or 30 inches wide, depending on the size of the name. Either way you go, you will have given your groomsman a gift that will enhance his living space and always serve as a reminder of just how much you appreciate his being there for you on your wedding day.

Timeless Groomsmen GIfts Pocket Watches

2008-11-08T11:05:00.000-08:00

Not many men carry pocket watches any more, but here at and groomsonlinegifts.com we think that is a shame. Not only is there something elegant about pulling a pocket watch from a suit coat pocket to read it, but a stylish metal watch is far better suited to a suit (or tuxedo worn at, say, a wedding) than so many of the casual watches on the market today. If the members of your wedding party do not have a stylish and professional looking wristwatch to wear with more formal apparel, of if they too like the idea of using a classic pocket watch, why not get them the classical groomsmen gift of an engraved pocket watch.

Our pocket watches come in a variety of colors and finishes to suit any man’s taste and wardrobe. For the most classic look, our gold plated watch offers a stunning accompaniment to any suit or formal wear.

Looking for something in a silver tone? We have three options to choose from. Our basic silver pocket watch is the most traditional of the group, while our high-polish stainless watch offers a more modern and eye-catching alternative. Lastly, if your friend prefers a “throwback” textured pattern to the case, we have an option that should suit him quite well. Any of these choices would adorn your groomsman’s suit in style and grace.

Each of our watches is, of course, personalized with free engraving on the cover. Each has a 14 inch long fob in a tone and color that matches the watch chase. All our watches are 2 inches across the face. All of them would make excellent and distinctive gifts to the members of your party that they will remember and use for years to come.

Vodka Shooter Set Makes a Great BEst Man GIft

2008-11-06T07:32:00.000-08:00

The practice of drinking shots of alcohol was originally done as a toast to one member of a group of friends, comrades or family. A toast was made honoring a person, everyone assembled raised their shot glasses and then downed the small amount of liquor contained in it. This ritual formed a formal salute to the person being toasted. You can help carry on this tradition by giving the members of your party a distinctive and sophisticated groomsmen gift of a vodka shooter set.

Here at groomsonlinegifts.com we think this piece is a great looking way to carry on that tradition of honoring friends, and do so in a way that honors some of your friends even without the vodka!

The glass ice bucket holds ice to chill the shots with. Take as many of the six shot glasses, add the vodka of your choice, put the glasses on ice and serve. Your groomsman and his family or guests will be able to lift their glasses and down their shots as they should be had: ice cold.

Each shot glass features a tall neck and a wider, flat bottomed base that provides an excellent grip for the toaster. The glasses can sit low in the ice, chilling the liquor to that desired, frosty temperature. It also assures that once the toast is over this beautiful glass will be rock solid on the table when each toaster puts it down.

The large, clear glass ice bucket brings this old tradition in to the modern world with a sleek and stylish flared design. It has plenty of room for ice and all six shot glasses, so everyone gets a frosty glass to raise in salute.

We hope everyone will remember to always drink responsibly, and we are proud to offer you the chance to give your groomsmen a gift that preserves the old tradition of the shot and a toast in a new and modern looking way.

Groomsmen Gifts For The Cigar Lover

2008-11-04T08:21:00.000-08:00

So you have cigar smokers in the wedding party and you would like to get them specialized groomsmen gifts that take that in to account. The problem is, you don’t smoke yourself and you aren’t really sure what to get them. Here are some ideas from us.

Every cigar enthusiast needs a cigar cutter. Cigars, unlike most cigarettes, come sealed at the ends. The lit end of the cigar needs to have the rounded tip cut off before it is smoked, preferably in a straight, even cut. The mouth end also needs a small hole for the smoker to inhale through. A cutter is a nice gift that fits in the pocket and is always useful.

The cigar smoker on the go will always appreciate a crush-proof holder to transport a few of his favorite stogies in. At groomsonlinegifts.com we have some unique ones.

Does your friend like to light one up and have a drink after a round of golf? A combination cigar case and flask would be a nice gift. It would store easily in his golf bag and holds one favorite cigar and one shot of his favored drink. For the business traveler, a leather covered case and flask set is perfect for 3-4 cigars and 8 ounces of any drink. This gift is also great for a “guy’s night out.”

A humidor is the perfect place for the cigar smoker to store cigars he has purchased and wants to keep in top condition. A humidor will prevent the cigars from going stale and losing their flavor. Most hold 20-25 cigars while keeping them in perfect condition for future enjoyment.

Humidors are also nice decorative accents to a room, and that is why we stock such a wide variety. The right design not only provides safe storage for stogies but also provides color and style to a coffee table, bookcase or mantle. Our personalized humidors can match almost any décor and taste while adding that very personal touch to the gift.

Who says all your groomsmen gifts have to be classical ones? At groomsonlinegifts.com, we don’t. Sometimes the best and most interesting groomsmen gifts can be those that are different from the norm, yet something that will still last for a long time. If your best man or groomsman loves to cook outdoors, we may have an idea for you.

Cooking over a BBQ grill brings to mind thoughts of the old west with images of cattle drives, branding irons and thick slabs of beef prepared over open flame pits. Why not bring those ideas to your groomsman’s grill with a BBQ Branding Iron?

These stainless steel irons can be heated over the fire as the steaks are cooking. Then, when the meat is about ready to be served, your groomsmen adds his own personal “brand” to each steak. Every steak is served up with the cook’s initials seared in to the top, just like the brands that were seared in to the flank of each cow on the cattle trail.

We think that your groomsman will enjoy ending up with a very personal gift that he can use for years to come to entertain his own family and guests. Each of his guests gets a steak that bears the mark of the chef, while the chef gets the fun and satisfaction of serving personalized items to his guests (not to mention the fun of doing the branding).

We can send you just the iron, but why not add a small bit of flair to this gift and get the same iron in a wooden box? The box has the brand burned in to it, and we like the fact that it both provides a storage case for the iron and shows exactly how the brand will look on steaks before the box is even opened.

I remember the days when every weekend so many couples were getting married. It was very hard to find place and vendors to perform the receptions. Couples then started to have their wedding in some of the off months. Now with the economy very slow and many business in need of work, you can rest assure you can find something to meet your wedding budgets. Below are 5 awesome tips for you to save big on your reception and have it look spectacular. You can also use the wedding budget calculator at GroomsOnline.com to give you a great idea of what you can expect on spending and also keep track of what you are spending.

1. Choosing the off-season Choosing the date of your wedding can determine the price you may pay. If you’re looking to save money choosing the right month will be crucial. Spring and summer are very popular seasons to have your wedding. You might want to choose months like October thru early November. Late November can be busy with company holiday parties.

2. Weekdays will Save you Lot$ Choosing a week day for your reception will give you more room to negotiate the price. Monday thru Thursday most vendors are not that busy with receptions or parties which will give you leverage when working out a price.

3. Location, Location, Location Choosing the place to hold you reception will make a big difference. The more popular the location, the more likely they will be booked and the costs will be higher due to the demand. This may take some time but there are many places that have beautiful scenery and cost much less. I got married at a home that was converted into a reception site for wedding. Although it was out of the way, it was situated on a hill over looking the owners avocado farm with beautiful vistas and saved me lot of money. Your church or temple is a great way to save as well as you community center.

4. Negotiate Your Prices Everything has a price and nothing is set in stone these days with the economy acting they way it is. If you don’t ask for a lower price you may never know if you can get one. So negotiate prices with every one of your vendors, especially if you are following tips one two and three.I will say that negotiating is good, remember also you get what you pay for so don’t try to low ball to much, that may offend you potential vendor.

5. Utilize Friends and Family we have some very crafty friends and family that have made favors, decorations and table center pieces for many parties. All the guests seem to love them and we get praise from some vendors too. Some of your friends might have a very cool car that you may want to use instead of limo, so put those friends and family to work and you will save a lot more than you think.

Cufflinks Make Awesome Gifts for your Groomsmen

2008-10-27T10:18:00.000-07:00

French cuff shirts are for more than just tuxedos. They are a cool fashion statement alone, with a suit or sport coat or with sweaters. A cool groomsmen gift to go along with them is a set of personalized cufflinks.

At groomsonlinegifts.com we looked at a variety of styles. We decided to offer several styles of flat and rounded links that present a clean, classic look while allowing for that bit of personalization that you want for a gift.

This pair of mirror finish links helps to give a sharp, polished and elegant look to any shirt. For the best man or groomsman who tends to wear a silver-toned watch, this pair makes a smooth addition to that look.

Large oval shaped cufflinks are classic in appearance, but in a way that looks good with any type of apparel. Ours have a pillow-shaped head that give them weight and substance without feeling “chunky” when they are worn. We have them in either a brush or polished finish, so you can cater to the personal tastes of each groomsman.

For a pair of cufflinks that will present a slightly more distinct appearance, try this pair of brushed silver cufflinks. We find that the belt buckle shape, flat tone and single letter engraving is different from the norm while still clean and elegant.

For one of the most simple and yet still classic looks, this pair of square brass cufflinks fills the bill. It presents a sharp appearance without too much flash and is great for the man with a preference for gold-tone accessories.

Lastly, we have a pair of sterling silver plated cufflinks. Their classic round shape and beaded edge make a very sophisticated accent to any French cuff shirt and a welcome addition to any man’s wardrobe.
