Classic Groomsmen Gifts Never Go Out Of Style
Your bride-to-be goes down her checklist with you one more time, and she says, “How are you doing on your groomsmen gifts?” Your usual response would be to stare at her blankly. But not today! Below you’ll find a wealth of classic choices from money clip watches to cigar humidors that will impress her with your taste and preparedness.
These classic items round out the accessories of men of all professions and ages, and they never go out of style.
For Wearing
Cufflinks: Every man has in reserve at least one special suit that requires the shirt with the cufflinks. A classy groomsmen gift, cufflinks show you know heÂ’ll have more occasions than just your wedding to look his best.
Pocket watch: Who doesnÂ’t love the heavy feel and precision movement of a pocket watch? Clicking open the face to check the time is just one of the coolness factors of these items. Add engraving to your gift to increase its savoir-faire.
For Holding
Money clip: A popular item, and no man should be without one. Money clips come in many ingenious styles, including money clip/wallet combos, money clips with watches, money clips with Swiss army knives. They can be silver, steel or leather. Individualize them with engraving.
Jewelry box: For a place to stash all the cufflinks and watches, a special box lined with velvet is just the thing. A masculine touch is to find a model encased in leather or metal.
Travel bag: A practical, classic gift, personalized travel bags straddle the zone between luxurious and pragmatic.
Briefcase: Celebrate the occasion with an embossed leather briefcase for your groomsman. The range of styles and colors will ensure that your gift is unique.
For Entertaining
Bar set: You can just hear the ice cubes tinkling with a classy set for the top of the bar. There are sets to match any décor, from traditional to modern and everything in between.
Poker set: You never know when an impromptu poker game will form. Help your groomsman be prepared with his own personalized poker set.
Cocktail shaker: When the order is “shaken, not stirred,” everyone reaches for a cocktail shaker. Models are available in silver or steel, and ready for engraving.
For Indulging
Tankards and mugs: A hefty tankard or mug is both a drinking companion and a beautiful decorative item. Pewter with engraving is especially classy, or choose a heavy glass mug with a special message or insignia.
Cigar humido: If he likes cigars, heÂ’ll need something to protect his investment. Humidors come in many elegant styles, including wood or leather. Be sure to include a few cigars in the package.
Hip flask: For a little pocket refreshment, what man can resist an engraved flask? Engraved silver sets the standard, and some models even include storage for a stogie.
Lighters: Seems like every man should have an engraved silver lighter, preferably given by a good friend. This gift will go over well and be useful for years to come.
The classic never go out of style. Now, itÂ’s just up to you and your bride-to-be to choose which one.
BONUS : Common Marriage Problems - Complacency Is Like The Plague
Complacency like many other common marriage problems is a bit like the plague. ItÂ’s catching and it spreads, you donÂ’t hear it and you donÂ’t see it and by the time you realise what is happening the damage is done.
DonÂ’t ever become complacent, like everything else in life marriage has to be worked at, the relationship nurtured and your partner cared for. If youÂ’ve fallen into the common marriage problems trap and let the rot set in but want to save your marriage my advice is to go back to basics.
It is so easy to fall into a daily routine, fuelled by responsibilities and just forget what relationships are all about. With so much to do each day, and without the need to plan to meet each other, relationships tend to be pushed to the back, treated as something that doesnÂ’t need to be attended to and left to just bumble along.
Often we fail to make time for our partners and when we do, itÂ’s often some stolen moments at the end of a long hard day when we lack the energy to show how much we love and appreciate each other and are just too tired to have any fun.
When spouses begin to feel neglected they often start with the subtle plea, a gentle reminder that they feel that they arenÂ’t important any more, that they feel unloved, undervalued and that another of those common marriage problems, boredom with the daily routine has set in. And so the rot beginsÂ…Â…
It is all too easy to brush aside their pleas, just assume that they know you love them, expect them to understand that you are tired, believe that they will understand that you donÂ’t have the time and all too soon forget the initial signs that the marriage is in trouble.
If you continue to ignore the early unrest it can seem a clear indication to your partner that life is more important than they are. It won’t matter that you are getting stick at work or that the children need ferrying around or that other responsibilities are getting in the way, they will just see this big neon sign saying ‘you don’t love me any more’, you don’t want to save your marriage, no advice, no gentle nudge, no subtle plea is going to make a difference.
It is critical that no matter what life throws at us we show that we value our partners, and our relationships, every day of our lives. Common marriage problems such as complacency, boredom, jealousy, lack of trust and even infidelity just creep up on us, out of nowhere, and without us making an effort what we craved, what we worked for and what we have enjoyed can crumble away before our very eyes.
All it takes is those small gestures, nothing fancy, nothing time consuming, nothing expensive just small and thoughtful little gestures that show love, respect and affection for each other. An indication that we still appreciate our marriage, our relationship and the life we have together.
If you want to save your marriage, my advice is make your spouse your top priority, let them see that they are valuable and precious, and that above all they and their feelings come first.
Compliments should be regular, not a thing of the past and not something that you believe is no longer required. Make sure your spouse knows that you appreciate them, respect them, love them and admire then and above all make sure that they know that you want to be with them.
Ensure that you spend time together and relax, enjoy and appreciate each others company. DonÂ’t loose those intimate moments no matter how hard it is. Touch hands when passing, hold hands when you walk, kiss each other hello and goodbye, make time for a cuddle every day and never loose the excitement of the fleeting glance and the odd caress. If you fail to keep that bond between you your relationship will start to slide and before you know it what was once a loving marriage will become an empty shell.
Complacency is a very true and common marriage problem, donÂ’t assume it wonÂ’t happen to you and donÂ’t assume that you know each other so well that you donÂ’t need to make an effort. Some marriages take more work than others but all marriages need nurturing to survive.
