What To Buy Your Groomsmen
Dilemma:
You're the groom, and you know you're supposed to get your boys (i.e. groomsmen) a little something as a thank you for dropping $80-$150 on a tux rental and standing by your side at the altar. Abandon ideas of pocket knives (confiscated at the airport/easily misplaced/lost), flasks (who carries these anymore?), and t-shirts/hoodies with your alma mater on the front (overpriced and lacks originality). Go with one of the two following sure-win groomsmen gifts. Your boys will have them forever, and they'll praise you for it.
- Nose/ear hair trimmer. No one, perhaps especially the woman he is attempting to win, enjoys talking to a man with a virtual forest protruding from his nostrils. This may not be a problem at the age of 22-ish (though for some it is). In a few years, however, your now-unmarried friends will thank you for this gem. Where to find? Walgreens, Target, Walmart. How much? You can usually find a good one for $10 or less. Bingo.
- AMCO Professional Stainless Steel Bottle Opener. Every man needs a sure, sturdy bottle opener, whether or not he drinks things from a bottle. Inevitably, when he hosts friends for the occasional gathering, someone will bring beer, root beer, cream soda, or something else requiring the right tool to open each and every one. When his guests ask where he obtained such craftmanship, he will reply, "My good friend, [insert your name], gave it to me as a groomsmen gift at his wedding. Other guys gave me one of those little swiss army knives, two of which I've lost already. But this...I love this thing!" Not just any bottle opener, this is the one you want. Trust me.
