Somewhere amidst the hustle and bustle of attending to your increasingly stressed bride-to-be as she fusses over all the wedding details, you come to the realization that no man is an island. Luckily for you, your bride does have her bridesmaids and maid of honor to lean on and help her get through all that goes into a wedding. You, sir, have your trustworthy groomsmen and the best man.
These fine gentlemen are eager to whisk you away on a night of debauchery called the Bachelor Party. They will even endure luncheons, matching t-shirts and rehearsal dinners to ensure your happiness and help send you off into the world of the married. These guys are your last bastion of sanity as your poor bride feels the pressure and then starts badgering you! Bless her heart.
Many grooms and their friends smoke so, of course, smoking related groomsmen gifts would be appropriate in that case. Suggestions for smokin’ groomsmen gifts are as follows:
1. Zippo lighters. The hundreds of designs from NFL teams, car brands, solid colors, patterns, fishing and all sorts of cool images have been done up on Zippo lighters. Most can be engraved for that extra special touch. Be sure to put either your friends initials or his name and the year of the wedding for added sentimental value.
2. Cigarette cases. If you smoke, it’s classier to pull out a cigarette case to offer a cigarette to a lady than a pack that has been smooshed in your pocket. Cigarette cases are sophisticated. Many times you can get a cigarette case in combination with a liquor flask. These too can be personalized to show your appreciation for your wedding party.
3. Ashtrays. A smoker needs an ashtray for home or the garage. An ashtray is always a handy smoking accessory.
4. Humidor. A cigar humidor is the ideal way for a man to keep his stash of fine cigars at the proper humidity and not get all dried out and flavorless. Many times the lids of cigar humidors can be decorated with colorful designs and personalized with your groomsman’s name and the year.
The above items are popular and perfect groomsman gifts for those that smoke. If you have a groomsman that doesn’t happen to smoke, you can always go with something else. Traditional groomsmen gifts that pretty much work for anyone are the following: pocket watches, pocket tools, glassware, liquor flasks, cufflinks, wallets, swiss army knives, baseball bats, pub signs and shot glasses.
