Toiletry Bag
Personalized 100% Leather Toiletry Bag/Shaving Kit Gift with BoxGroomsmengiftsource.comThe travel bag has become a very popular groomsman gift in the last few years–first of all, we’re all getting tired of seeing men show up with all their toiletries in a plastic baggie. Secondly, it’s cool, personal and easy to carry home!This is a really classy toiletry bag. It’s made of 100% leather and has a very manly look–you can also personalize with just about anything on the side. Shown here, there’s a simple initial. You can also do a full name, nickname, or even a quote (to make him laugh or cry every time he goes for a shave!)This comes in a personalized wooden box, just about the most masculine way to wrap a present, so you can leave the bows and glitter at home. If you want to go the extra-personalized mile, you could put a few products in the bag that are unique to your groomsmen-a straight razor, your favorite moisturizer-anything that would make it more personal.
Cutting Board
Personalized Olive Wood Cutting BoardEtsy.comYou may have seen beautifully engraved cutting boards before, but this unique olive wood board is pretty breathtaking.Shown here with the rough edge option, this board is also available with a straight (more traditional edge). It is laser-engraved with initial and name, and each one is unique.You can use these for cutting, sure, but they are also beautiful vessels to serve everything from charcuterie to sushi. They even serve as a lovely display piece for a table or kitchen.Reviews of this product include “stunning” and “beautiful,” and everyone is impressed by how truly unique it is. If you have groomsmen who love to cook or love to entertain, this is a great idea. It comes in a few sizes from 8” x 6” to 16” x 7” (about twice the price for the larger one) and the natural patterns that emerge in the olive wood are completely different for each piece–making each board special.
Wooden Watch
Engraved Wooden Watch Chrono UltraThedustysaw.comThe engraved wooden watch is a very popular gift lately–very modern and elegant, while also cool and whimsical. This one I find particularly beautiful with the colours on its face and pattern of the band. These are made with 100% sustainable wood and stainless steel. You can have the back of the watch face engraved with text–enough to include a sentiment or date as well as a name.For an extra $15, they will actually hand-write the engraved message in your handwriting. You can upload the exact image of what you’d like to say, and they will laser that into the back of the watch as if the message comes directly from you. It is also important not to forget yourwedding gift keepsakes.They also provide a number of templates, so if you want to include a special groomsman “look” to the watch, or you are not sure what to do you can select one of their templates, easy peasy!Beer Stein
