Many guys avoid shopping for gifts like the plague. There are just so many other things they would rather be doing except shopping for gifts. What’s the fun in that? You’re going to have to spend some cash and not get to keep the gift for yourself! Ahhh, but sometimes it is truly better to give than receive.
Take your wedding attendant gifts, for example. Your college roommate, your childhood buddy, your new brother-in-law and your two brothers are going to be your groomsmen. You definitely need to offer up some token of thanks to each of these fine men for participating in your wedding. They are taking part in your wedding, not just as a guest, but as an integral part of your big day. This is something that requires effort, time and money on their parts. You should be grateful for this. Thus, you need to properly thank these outstanding fellows.
The rehearsal dinner is the target date for handing out the groomsmen gifts to your wedding attendants. Besides the wedding, this is probably one of the last times you’ll have these guys assembled in one place. This is especially true if they all don’t live in the same town as you. Take advantage of this opportunity and hand out those groomsmen gifts during dinner. You can do it before dinner if there is a bit of a wait for your food. Or do it for dessert once everyone is relaxed and done with their dinners.
A lot of times guys have a hard time deciding on gifts for the groomsmen. Cufflinks, money clips, wallets or flasks are common gifts. But you know your friends and you might not picture them using these items all the time. Sure they’ll use them sometimes. But you know really want to give a gift that will get a lot of use. Those are the best kinds of presents. Their usefulness goes on for years and the recipient of the gift appreciates the item and thinks of you many times. This is the most satisfying of gifts. To give a gift that you know will be enjoyed and used over the let’s let’s yow your hard-earned money didn’t go to waste and that the gift recipient got something they like and use.
A Leatherman multitool fits this gift profile perfectly. Leatherman has full-sized multitools such as their flagship model the Wave that are basically a stuffed toolbox in a pliers. A multitool is especially handy for someone living in an apartment that doesn’t have a lot of room to keep a toolbox or tools. A multitool is useful and compact. Other fewer costly models that have fewer tools on them but are also practical are the Blast, Kick, Fuse and Core. If your budget is $30 or less for a gift, consider the Micra or Squirt. Those keychain models are smaller but still pack a punch when it comes to usefulness.
