In many men’s life there comes a time when we meet that special someone, fall in love and have to make the once in a lifetime decision:

What should I get for my groomsmen gifts?

For the wife to be, her gifts were decided milliseconds after she became “the one”. Big diamonds, fancy rings and the wedding of her dreams. However for your guys the thought probably never crossed your mind until weeks or days before the wedding. 

While here at Prime Pimpin we are clearly biased that our pimp cups make the best groomsmen gifts possible, we want to share with you some of the worst ideas we’ve seen to hopefully steer you away from a lifetime of regret and embarrassment. 

#6 - A Flask

Unless it’s for your Mormon friend as a joke or made of pure gold, no self-respecting friend of yours should not already have a flask. If you really think this is something they need you might need to reconsider them as a groomsman all together. 

#5 - Tools

If you’re dropping hundreds of dollars per person on Hilti or Craftsman, this is a good idea. If you’re getting a generic monogrammed Leatherman made overseas, it’s probably a liability due to dull blades and weak metal. This gift will sit unused and forgotten.

#4 - USB Drive

I’ve seen it happen. Maybe it was a regift from the annual company meeting, but you’d be better off giving them some pens stolen from the tradeshow booth supply closet.

#3 - Golf Gift Sets

Is Tiger Woods in your wedding? He is? Well sure as hell don’t get him one of this cheap kits or any of your other groomsmen. A bucket of driver balls and a case of beer is much more valuable to the real golfer.

#2 - Desk Clock

Usually gifts like this sit a work, where people do not want to be reminded about how miserable their day is compared to being out with the boys, the bachelor party and everything else that solidified them as a groomsmen. Spare them the misery.

#1 - Anything monogramed from Things Remembered

This is a place where Grandma goes to get her snow globe engraved. Aside from it being a total rip-off, a gift from this mall locale says you really don’t care about your guys and didn’t take the time for anything original. Steer clear at all costs.
