It’s hard to pick something that works for family members, friends, coworkers, or whoever you chose to stand by your side that day.

Our best advice is to keep it fun. Your gift should be something they’ll be excited to open, whether that means it’s practical, sentimental, or just plain funny. If you’re feeling stuck, this list should do the trick. Read on for the best groomsmen gifts. Remember when we said to keep gifting fun? You just send in a photo, choose the body, and this artist will create a resin doll. You can even have one made of their favorite pet!

If you’ve ever seen your friends pull out a beaten-up wallet, you can be sure they’ll be thrilled when you gift them a brand new one. Crafted from real leather, it comes in multiple shades and has plenty of pockets for cards and bills. If you’re looking to get your groomsmen something they can wear the day of your wedding, engraved cufflinks will win the day. These modern silver squares will look great that day, but they’re also versatile enough to look smart with any shirt they might wear in the future.

A knife might not be the first thing that comes to mind when gifting, but if your group is into outdoor adventures then they’ll dig this. Let’s just take a moment here to remember that comfy robes are a gift beloved by everyone, not just the bridal party. This one is made from sustainably sourced cotton with a thick waffle weave design that absorbs water and keeps them warm. Who doesn’t love a dinner party that begins with an Instagram-worthy cheese and charcuterie platter? If you throw a rustic wedding, your groomsmen will need cool cufflinks to wear to it. Outdoorsmen and coffee fanatics will both appreciate this handy to-go mug. Pragmatic men will appreciate a gift that they can use day-to-day, like this stylish razor.

It’s a definite upgrade from the drugstore variety, made with chrome blades and a carved wood handle. Add a monogram to make it theirs, but because of variations in the wood, each one is unique even without engraving. Whiskey lovers will appreciate this sophisticated glass decanter that can be monogrammed and hold a full bottle of their go-to spirit. You and your friends may be able to drink spirits like pros, but could you distill them too? This kit will help you find out. They can learn how to cure their barrel, pour in grain alcohol, add essence, and age it. In two weeks, they’ll have their own custom blend.

Are you and your fellow groomsmen always on Spotify? Instead of giving them earbuds that they likely already have, give them a way to pump up the volume around the house or at their next party. This speaker can play FM radio or any music you have using Bluetooth technology. If you’re looking for something straightforward that pretty much everyone will put to use, then look no further. They’ll end up taking this black and saddle-brown toiletry kit on every vacation, business trip, or weekend getaway. If the men in your circle are always ready to party, help them start their weekend on the right note with this extremely cool set of shot glasses.

Time to raise the bar on your gifts! Give them everything they need to make their signature cocktail at home with this classic stainless steel bar set. No judgment, but some of these guys might need a style adjustment. You can’t fix that overnight, but grabbing these sunglasses is a pretty great start. Think about your group of guys and their interests and personalities. If there’s a big range in your wedding party, think about getting a more general, useful gift like cufflinks or a cool tech item. What are some non-product gifts that would be good for my groomsmen?

Should everyone get the same gift? How much you spent may depend on how many people are in your party, what your wedding budget is and what role they may have played in your wedding day or planning process.
