Here are six gifts you can give your bros after they’ve attended your wedding.

AN EXPERIENCE
Rather than give your groomsmen a gift, give them an experience. With sites like Groups, Vimbly, Living Social, and Cloud 9 Living, you have a ton of choices available to try sports games, racing, and hot air balloon rides. You can search for different experiences by city and give each groomsman an experience near his home or combine these into one huge outing for all your groomsmen at a location that’s close to your wedding. No matter what you choose, you and your friends will have a great time.
A 10-IN-1 TOOL
Gentlemen Hardware has created a credit card tool that is the same size as your wallet. This tool looks super practical for your no-frills friend, but it is also a can opener, saw blade, ruler, screwdriver, and six other things. With all of these amazing features, you’ve checked every box a no-frills kind of guy likes: useful, efficient, unique, and affordable.

Bitters + Bottles offers individualized boxes that come with how-to guides, mixed and bar-size bottles. Your friend won’t forget your generosity unless he enjoys too many of the items.
TIES AND BELTS
An excellent gift is matching ties and belts. These not only look great on your weeding day but will go great with his regular wardrobe. Not only will this give him that cool style of matching items, but it’ll help all of your groomsmen adhere to the dress code, especially the guy who thinks putting on a clean T-shirt after a few days is a lot of work.
TOILETRY KIT
The GI’s created a leather toiletry kit that will set off your bros style with some serious practicality. This kit is very durable and has sturdy zippers and a large compartment to put in all those things your cool friends like carrying around. Combined with a personalized razor you have an excellent gift. This kit is perfect for your outdoorsy friends who travel with nothing but the clothes on their back, shoes on their feet, and a few non-perishable foods.
Groomsmen have been there for you before the wedding and will be there during your magnificent, and long, journey. Treat them like the cherished friends they are.
