10 Awesome & Budget-Friendly Gifts for Groomsmen

by on May 18, 2017

I’ve gotta say, I feel a little bad for the groomsmen in a wedding. You want to say thanks for being here for us today, but there are so few ideas out there when compared to gifts for bridesmaids. Have no fear! Whether you’re a bride or groom shopping for the men in your wedding party, these 10 budget-friendly groomsmen gifts are sure to be appreciated. 

Admittedly, I find it difficult to shop for men, so I enlisted the help of my boyfriend for opinions on what he’d like to receive if he were a groomsman. The way I see it, there are a few different gift-giving avenues to take: personal gifts, useful gifts or wedding related gifts. For example, perhaps the groom offers to pay for the groomsmen’s tuxes for the wedding rather than give a specific item. 

There are a lot of types of gifts out there! In this case, I put together a few ideas from around the web for (hopefully) any type of groomsman and a variety of budgets, all under $50.
