Handmade Gifts for Groomsmen

It is traditional for the bride and groom to give gifts to everyone in the wedding party--as a token of appreciation and a memento of the occasion.

The peril of picking out groomsmen gifts is the same as choosing a gift for any man in your life: the last thing you want to do is purchase a gift that never get used and ends up in a drawer, forgotten. 

Here's our collection of handmade gifts for groomsmen that are unforgettable. 


Circuit Board Cufflinks
Super techy, these 'links have the neat-o factor that attracts men when precious gems fail to impress. Handcrafted from recycled circuit boards set in sterling silver, these geek-chic cufflinks by Christine Bossler are coveted hardware.


Woody Flask
Although groomsmen gifts are generally doled out at the rehearsal dinner, you may want to present this handmade flask filled for the bachelor party. Exclusive to Alere Modern, this leather-covered flask by Moxie and Oliver has a rugged, woodpile motif.


Lightning Bolt Wallet
Are your groomsmen superheroes in plain clothes? Call out their secret identity with this shocking vegan-friendly wallet by Whodini. Cruelty-free, it's made of automotive vinyl, not leather. 


Edge Belt Buckle
Add a little edge to their wardrobe with this handcrafted steel belt buckle by Fosterweld. This sleek, modern buckle comes in a variety of colors, so you can individualize this groomsmen gift.


Bicycle Tire Tie Bar
For those who take life by the handlebars, there is this fashion-forward tie bar by Christine Bossler. Putting the "cycle" in recycled, this bar features bicycle tire inlaid in sterling silver.
