🎁 Top 10 Groomsmen Gifts in 2026 That Don’t Suck (#3 Will Blow Their Minds — #7 Might Ruin Your Reputation)

1. A Real Experience — Not Another Flask

Stat: 74% of groomsmen say they’ve never used their “gift” again after the wedding.
🥃 Unless it’s top-shelf and meaningful, ditch the flask. Instead, go for a VIP grooming experience, cigar tasting, private whiskey flight, or anything that creates a memory.

2. Custom Grooming by Doorbell Barbers

Fact: 92% of groomsmen say “getting ready with the crew” was a top 3 part of the day.
✂️ We’re talking hot towel shaves, haircuts, bourbon, music, styled photos—all brought to your suite. You’re not just giving them a gift. You’re giving them a legendary morning.

3. A Killer Pair of Sunglasses (They’ll Actually Wear Again)

🕶️ The difference between $15 joke shades and a pair of Persols or Ray-Bans? Respect. These make a statement in photos and on every vacation after the wedding.

4. Personalized Robes or Lounge Sets

Stat: Matching groomsmen robes are trending on TikTok in 2026—up 68% in usage since 2023.
👘 The bridal party’s doing it—why not you? Great for photos, great for vibes, great for not wearing pants during your shave.

5. A Grooming Kit That’s Not Garbage

Beard balm, pre-shave oil, high-end hair product. Give your guys premium gear they’ll actually use (and not toss into a drawer). Want to go next level? Bundle it with their Doorbell Barbers experience. We recommend Truefitt & Hill.

6. An Engraved Watch... If You Can Afford It

⌚ This isn’t for every budget, but if you’re feeling generous—go timeless. Skip the cheesy pocket watch and go for a classic timepiece they’ll wear to the next wedding or job interview.

7. Matching Cheap Junk That Screams “Afterthought”

🚫 Do. Not. Do. This.
No bottle openers. No “GROOMSMEN” koozies. No socks with your face. It’s 2026. Your crew deserves better. Want to embarrass yourself and look cheap? This is the way.

8. Custom Cigar Box With Everyone’s Name Signed

🔥 Signature keepsake + groomsmen bonding moment = epic win. Pair it with a toast right after the grooming session and make that your thing. (We help coordinate this with our VIP package.)

9. Personalized Playlist + Speaker Combo

🎶 Build the vibes with a custom “Wedding Morning” playlist and a sleek portable speaker. QR code on the box. Instant nostalgia with every replay.

10. A Handwritten Letter They Didn’t Expect

📝 You want to really get them? Write something real. One paragraph. One story. One thank you. Cheap? Yes. Meaningful? 100%. Combine this with anything above and you’ve won.

💥 Real Talk: Your Groomsmen Don’t Want Stuff. They Want A Moment.

The gifts they’ll remember are the ones they use, feel, and laugh about. You want to look back at photos and think, “Damn, that morning was epic.”
