Gifts for the Groom
Grooming Kit
Gone are the days when women preferred men with beards, stubble and hairy chests. These days women expect their men to be well-groomed. So you can give the groom a grooming kit, which has things like shampoo, shave gel, shaking kit, cologne, etc.
Designer Clothes
When it comes to clothes, women start shopping for their bridal shower, wedding and honeymoon outfits, well in advance. However, men being laid back creatures, might not even have enough clothes to last their honeymoon! So if you are a friend or sibling of the groom, gift him some flattering designer clothes.
Digital Camera
Another gift that you can give the groom is a digital camera or a camcorder. A groom can capture all the special moments, be it with his friends at the bachelor party or with his bride on the honeymoon, with this gift.
Gift Ideas for Parents
Appreciation Video
A special gift for parents of the bride and groom is a thank you video prepared by the newly wed couple, in which they convey their feeling of gratitude to them, for all they had done, right from their childhood till their marriage. To make the video special, the couple can include photographs of their childhood, holidays that they celebrated together as a family, past birthday celebrations, etc. in it.
Accessories
Accessories such as earrings, necklaces, cuff links, necktie make great gifts for parents. Your parents will always attach a special value to this gift as they will always remember it as something they wore at your wedding!
Cleaning Service Certificate
A useful gift for parents is a yearly cleaning certificate. With this gift, they do not have to worry about keeping their house in order for at least a year!
Wedding Favors
Any talk on wedding gifts would be incomplete without wedding favors i.e. a return gift from the couple to the guests, to thank them for coming to their wedding and blessing them. Personalized party favors such as cups or napkins, which have the name of the bride and groom as well as the wedding date, printed on them are a good choice. Chocolate boxes, candy containers, heart-shaped glass coasters, mini-lanterns, decorative silky fans in Japanese style, scented candles, candle holders, wine or champagne bottles are some of the other options you can look into.
When it comes to choosing gifts, it always pays to take your own time. The more thoughtful and useful the gifts are, the more they will be appreciated by the receiver!
