Your bridesman has always been there for you, now it's time to show your appreciation. These thoughtful bridesman gifts are an ideal way to say "thank you."

bridesman

If you’ve asked your best guy friend to stand alongside you at your wedding, you may be wondering what to give him as a bridesman gift. While it’s pretty simple to find the perfect bridesmaids gift, shopping for a bridesman can feel like uncharted territory. Our advice? Stick to a gift that’s similar in price and sentiment as the gift you give your bridesmaids. The gifts might not be the same, but that’s okay! While gifting all the bridesmaids the same item (often something to be used or worn in the wedding) was popular in the past, today’s brides are opting for bridal party gifts that speak to each person’s individual personality.

So with that in mind, read on for our round-up of the best bridesman gifts you can buy for that special guy in your life—and in your bridal party.

Chambray Robe

Best if you’re gifting your bridesmaids: A robe

One bridal party gift that’ll never go out of style? A luxurious robe. And it makes sense, too—your besties can wear it while getting ready for your big day, but it totally works for use after the wedding too. And if you have a bridesman? A robe is still a great gift! If he’ll be getting ready with you and the ladies, it’ll be a great way for him to stay comfy and wrapped up before he’s ready for go-time. We love this wrinkle-free chambray robe from Brooks Brother. It’s luxurious yet understated, making it one of the best bridesman gifts we could find.

Best if you’re gifting your bridesmaids: Beauty subscription box

We can’t think of a guy on the planet who wouldn’t get excited over meat in an ammo can, which is why Man Crates made our list of the best bridesman gifts you can buy. Man Crates are curated boxes of jerky and other goodies that ship in irresistibly cool containers, like real wooden crates that come with crowbars, and authentic military-grade ammo cans. The crates come bursting at the seams with everything from nuts to jerky to bacon-covered, well, everything. Our favorite Man Crate, which comes at a totally reasonable price, is the Premium Jerky Ammo Can. It’s full of exotic jerky and treats like a Clif Bar and Corn Nuts. Yum!

Help him elevate his grooming routine (both for the wedding and beyond!) with a top-quality grooming kit. Great for use both at home and while traveling, a grooming kit is a wonderful gift that’ll show him you’re in touch with his needs. If possible, you might want to find out what products he already uses and give him a set of those. Not quite sure? We love this premium set from Anthony Logistics; you can’t go wrong with this popular brand, and their travel grooming kit has everything he’ll need, from body wash to facial moisturizer and shave cream.

Leather Bag/Dopp Kit

Best if you’re gifting your bridesmaids: Weekender bag

If he’s already got his product line-up all set, maybe he needs something to carry everything! In that case, a dopp kit or similar leather bag would be a welcome gift. In many cases, you can even personalize it with his initials and your wedding date. Our favorite is this handsomely rugged leather and canvas bag from MSG Vintage. It’s a sturdy bag with a roomy interior; there’s one large, main opening with a tiny interior pocket for super-small items like dental floss or contact lenses. Another small zip open pocket on the outside of the bag is a convenient extra.
