Gifts for your groomsmen

Searching for gifts for the groomsmen in your wedding party?

These guys have been in your life every step of the way and will stand by you through thick and thin. Now they will stand by your side on the biggest day of your life… the day you say “I do”!!!! Your best man, groomsmen, page boys and ushers will be hiring or buying a tux, organising your bucks, preparing toasts and lending a hand on your big day. In summary, a measly “thanks” and a handshake isn’t going to cut it.

The types of gifts you present to your mates in the wedding party will say a lot about you as a groom. You didn’t settle for an average bride and you haven’t settled for average close friends. This is a day where you can show them how much they mean and go for some cool guys gifts that are above and beyond. Put some thought into what your men will appreciate. You only get one crack at this, so make it count.

Not every groomsman’s present needs to be the same. If you have groomsmen that like to wear cufflinks or watches, buy them some great cufflinks… go for something stylish like the platinum range from malebox.

Or if you want to buy something a little more unique buy them a cufflink and watch box. These can be a great gift idea when it comes to wedding gifts for the bridal party. Don’t worry, you don’t have to get them a feminine one. There are actually a great range of masculine cufflink cases available. Usually they are called a ‘watch box’ or ‘cufflink box’. So when he does ask you, “What is this?” which he probably wont, cause he’ll say “I have wanted one of these for ages!”… but if he does you will be able to explain that it’s a box that holds cufflinks, watches and accessories. While you are at it, get yourself one as well!

A great gift for anyone who likes to travel in your bridal party!

We hope these suggestions are a little different and give you a hint of what your best man, groomsmen, father of the bride, father of the groom etc will appreciate forever and as a stylish memento of your big day!

Coloured cufflinks

Some people don’t like wearing coloured cufflinks as they find them a little too “out there”. They prefer plain, reliable cuff accessories, usually in a black and white combination or metallic ones. I think these people are missing opportunities to show their stylishness in adhering to this narrow mindset.

Green, red, purple and yellow coloured cufflinks can be perfect showing off your versatility, especially at the races or weddings, even in interviews (to a lesser extent). It is how you complement you shirt, tie and suit that makes you stand out in the crowd. You don’t necessarily require matching clothing or accessories to look good… the cufflink might just make it’s own statement. Just make sure it doesn’t completely clash with ehat you are wearing. Some good examples of coloured cufflinks can be seen in the malebox “versatile” range at http://www.malebox.net.au/Cufflinks/Versatile

Cufflinks are here to stay!

Cufflinks have been in and out of trends at various points in fashion history. One thing can be said, which is, they have never truly gone away. ”French Cuff” shirts appear much more frequently in department and boutique stores as many business and casual dressers are finding them a smarter look… hence cufflinks are here to stay in one form or another.

Looking at the market place – our cufflink choices are endless. There are plenty of timeless and dateless designs that always look good, especially with a tailored suit and crisp white shirt. Take for example a classic satin brushed cufflink such as http://www.malebox.net.au/Cufflinks/Classic/Rectangle These cufflinks are so versatile that you can wear them to a wedding, business casual or even to a bar.

There are also an incredible amount of novelty cufflinks out there to suit anyone’s taste or favourite hobbies, pastimes or affiliations. We’ve seen them in the shape of anything imaginable including football cufflinks, dolphin cufflinks, fighter plane cufflinks, car cufflinks, national flags, letters of the alphabet, even a working compass cufflinks. There a heaps of these types of cufflinks around. Cufflinks were traditionally made using gold and gemstones, but now they are manufactured from almost any materials. Examples of cufflink materials include all the different metal varieties, plastic, rope, rubber, enamel or even fabric mounted onto a typical old school cufflink attachment.

The dude who wears cufflinks is often more sophisticated than your average guy… in appearance that is… dont make the mistake of wearing a button on a French cuff shirt… If you are willing to spend the money on a nice shirt make sure you have a set of cufflinks that bring it to life!

So seeing you read this article, we assume you like to look awesome everytime you walk out of your house. Cufflinks are here to stay boys, so keep the sleeves rolled down and look smart – cause cufflinks are here to stay!
