Top 10 Gifts for GroomsIt's a tradition in many cultures for brides to give grooms a gift before or after the ceremony. If you are debating what gifts are appropriate for your groom, consider the following. Each of these gifts is bound to please your groom and will remain as a keepsake of your wedding long after the event. If your groom is wearing a rental tuxedo, chances are he will receive inexpensive cufflinks for to secure the French cuffs of his shirt. Surprise him with a gift of fine gold cuff links in this classic land classy shape. Alternatively, he's likely to be especially pleased if you select gift cuff links that symbolize one of this passions. If you purchase the cuff links far enough in advance and the design has a flat surface, you may be able to have his groom gift engraved. If you're like most couples, chances are some of your friends and family will want to present you with gifts of cash for your wedding. Help the groom prepare by giving him a gift money clip. This classic, striped sterling silver money clip, with room for the groom's initials to be engraved, will feel substantial in his pocket and always remind him of the occasion. (You also may want to engrave the date of your wedding on the back of this gift, so he'll never forget your anniversary!) There are everyday watches, and then there are special-occasion watches. If your groom is like most guys, he wears a sports-type watch most of the time. Gift him with a thinner, more elegant model to wear at your wedding and when you dine out on your honeymoon. The elegant Bulova Men's Moon Phase Watch is destined to become an instant family heirloom. A digital camera isn't a sentimental groom gift, but it's one that will be especially useful for capturing memories on your honeymoon. And you can't go wrong with a Canon. He'll never want to screen out your voice, of course, but if he flies a lot or wants to enjoy music through headphones, he'll thank you for these noise reducers. This groom gift comes in its own padded case with a shoulder strap.
Apple's newest iPod video player, an entertainment system he can fit in his pocket, is another great gift for grooms. Lightweight and portable, it's roadworthy enough to accompany him on all his travels, from the honeymoon forward. A cellphone, a PDA, a still and video camera, an organizer, and a calculator all in one, enhanced with Bluetooth and IM technology, the Palm Centro is the thinking groom's e-device. With this gift, he won't have to stuff his pockets with electronics. Just make sure your phone number tops his contact list. Gift the groom a gift of a slim, new leather wallet. With generous gifts from wedding guests, it should fatten up in no time! Writing thank-you notes isn't strictly the bride's job.
