Many of the things that you’ll find on a wedding registry are for the whole home. And sure, the groom will get to enjoy those things as well. But there’s a chance (some might even say a high chance) that the typical home good and bed sheets and plates aren’t exactly for the groom.
None of these groom gifts fall into that category. These are the types of things that the groom actually wants. Things he will actually use–and be reminded of the thoughtful soul who knew him enough to buy that gift every time he uses it. Some are on the pricier side meant for a group purchase, while others are small personal touches that every guy could use in his life but isn’t likely to buy himself.
Uneekor Golf Simulator
If you’re looking for a unique and memorable gift for a groom who loves golf, the Uneekor golf simulator is the perfect choice for a group to purchase. This state-of-the-art simulator uses advanced technology to create a realistic golfing experience that can be enjoyed from the comfort of home. With features like high-speed cameras, infrared tracking, and accurate ball-flight data, the Uneekor simulator allows golfers to practice their swing and improve their game without leaving their house. — Brett Braley
$14,000100 Year Hoodie
A $600 hoodie sounds ridiculous, but Vollebak’s is built to outlast just about every human life span. It makes use of three-layered fabric created for military special forces. It’s highly abrasion-resistant on the outside and supremely soft on the inside. It also repels the elements and even resists fire. The 100-Year Hoodie has four large front pockets, oversized two-way zippers, a roomy drawstring hood, and the kind of comfy fit that the groom will never want to get out of. — Amos Kwon
$595Globemaster Co-axial Master Chronometer
Okay, so not everyone’s gonna want to drop this much coin for the groom (except for perhaps the bride), but it would be worth it for one of the classiest and under-the-radar watches for the money if a group were to go in on the purchase. The Globemaster borrows the ‘50’s Omega Constellation “pie pan” dial and mates it with a coin-edge bezel, a three-link bracelet, and a rhodium-plated Constellation star. Underneath is the brand’s own Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8900 with anti-magnetism. You’ll instantly class up the groom for life with this one. — Amos Kwon
$7,500Luxury Italian Wool Linen Bedford Jacket
Every guy needs a proper sport coat, and the Bedford delivers high style and a subtle blue glen plaid pattern combined with a rich Italian fabric to make a great warm-weather jacket. The groom doesn’t have to opt for a wrinkled beige linen jacket when he can have a classy wool, silk, and linen Bedford that goes with just about any pair of pants or jeans. As with all Proper Cloth jackets, just about every aspect of the Bedford can be customized including lining, lapels, pockets, and buttons. — Amos Kwon
$695Le Grand Dupont Palladium Diamond Head Lighter
This is a cigar lighter for the ages and qualifies as an heirloom that the groom can pass on to the next generation. The precious metal crafted Le Grand Palladium opens with that classic “ping” that’ll have the groom playing with it to the point of being annoying. The diamond head pattern shows up all over the lighter’s body, and it provides both excellent grip and entertaining tactility. Choose between a soft flame or torch flame, but never choose to take it through TSA. — Amos Kwon
$1,495Double Gusset Briefcase in Evoluzione Leather
Every working man needs a good work bag, and the groom doesn’t have to be an exec to appreciate this truly handsome briefcase. Italy’s Serapian makes some of the best in the business, and the Double Gusset both looks great and has real capacity. Made with textured calfskin, the brief has two large zipped compartments, a padded laptop pocket, numerous interior pockets, a double handle, a trolley back handle for carryon docking, gunmetal hardware, microfiber lining, and a shoulder strap. The groom might not mind going back to work after the honeymoon if he can pack his gear into this briefcase of briefcases. — Amos Kwon
$1,860Fulton & Roark Fragrance Discovery Set
Finding a personal fragrance isn’t an easy journey, but Fulton & Roark makes it easier with its brilliant discovery set that allows the recipient to experience 10 of the company’s signature fragrances in a single set. The groom can experiment and choose one at any given time that suits the mood and situation or narrow down and ultimately land on the one that best expresses who he is. He can then select that scent and complement it with the same odiferous goodness in their excellent product line. — Amos Kwon
$60Burgundy Moulded Oak-Tanned Leather Watch Case
HODINKEE’s Moulded Leather Travel Case is an efficient flat storage watch case that doesn’t compromise on watch safety. It’s made using an intensive moulding technique that allows for a more compact all-leather construction rather than the added space of a wood or plastic hardener underneath. Crafted with a beautiful, rich brown oak-tanned leather, each case develops a unique-to-you patina over time, while inside your watches stay comfy with two indentations and a padded middle divider. A snap closure keeps things locked tight and there’s a spot for a watch strap or bracelet, too. Available exclusively in the HODINKEE Shop for two, four, six, and eight watches, the Moulded Leather Travel Case measures 6 x 5 x 2 inches and fits watches up to approximately 48mm in diameter and 14mm thick. — Nickolaus Hines
$610Black Mother of Pearl Herringbone Cufflinks
Cufflinks aren’t something that a guy wears every time he dresses up. Still, when the occasion calls for cufflinks, you better believe that he needs to have the right pair handy. These mother of pearl herringbone cufflinks are adaptable enough to go with a number of different suit styles. They won’t steal the show, but will only emphasize the other parts of the outfit and allow for the attention to be on the man himself. — Nickolaus Hines
$145Graham Leather Overnighter Monogrammed Bag
Every man needs a solid weekender bag. This monogrammed option from Mark and Graham uses high-quality leather from Turkey with the subtle yet distinct touch of the groom’s initials foil debossed in the top middle section. It has both carrying handles (which drop to a perfect six inches) and an adjustable shoulder strap (32 to 50 inches long), and a cotton lining on the inside keeps any hard-surface contents safe and scratch free. The main bag has space for all that you’d need on a weekend away, with two outside zipper pockets for easy access and one larger inside zipper pocket. — Nickolaus Hines
$379Engraved WhistlePig 10 Year Rye
WhistlePig is a beloved whiskey brand for good reason: the team up in Vermont simply makes good whiskey and sources the best barrels around. This engraved bottle comes in a set with all the things needed for a pre-dinner whiskey and snack set up. It beats a cheesy wine picnic basket any day. — Nickolaus Hines
