Your wedding day is coming soon, and you’ve probably spent countless hours choosing the perfect flowers, coordinating vendors for the reception, picking out bridesmaid gifts and checking other items off of the almost endless list of other preparations that require your attention before your special day finally arrives. However, there may be one final, very important task that needs your attention – a gift for your groom that you can surprise him with on the big day. This is, after all, a once-in-a-lifetime event for the two of you, so commemorate it with a gift he’ll truly cherish. Here are five unforgettable gifts for your groom

A diamond wedding ring

There may be no more special gift for your man than a magnificent piece of jewelry or wedding band he can wear and treasure always. While diamonds used to be thought of as a gemstone only found in women’s jewelry, that’s not the case anymore. In fact, there is a wonderful variety of men’s diamond wedding bands currently available – so many, in fact, that you’re sure to find the right one for your groom. The first step in making your selection is to choose a ring that suits his individual taste and style. If your guy loves modern design, for example, he might appreciate a two-tone cobalt chrome ring with diamonds. If his taste runs more toward the traditional side, you might choose a white gold ring with pave set diamonds. Even though you want to surprise him with this special gift, be certain you have his accurate ring size and a clear idea of his preference when you begin looking through the selection of men’s diamond wedding bands.

A classic timepiece

Choose a good quality wristwatch for your guy for your special day. There is a huge selection of fine men’s watches such as these Accutron Watches available online and in brick and mortar stores like this bust down Rolex watch dealer. Since you want him to be able to wear it not only on his wedding day, but on other special occasions as well, select a dress watch with a metal band and a traditional clock face (not digital). To make it even more of a keepsake, have the back of the watch inscribed with a personal, heartfelt message for your groom. He’s sure to value this gift and wear it over and over again throughout your years together.

A travel grooming kit

If you’d like to find something a little more practical for your guy, choose a travel grooming kit. This is a gift that he’ll use almost immediately – if not on his wedding day, then certainly on your honeymoon! Select one with a nice leather case and a full assortment of grooming tools, such as scissors, tweezers, toothbrush, nail clippers and a shoe horn, for example. Some even come equipped with a corkscrew! Although there are many iterations of grooming kits available, choose a finer quality rendition for your guy on his special day.

Leather wine carrier

Here’s a gift you’ll both enjoy for years to come. You’ll find them in a wide assortment of styles, including some that hold two bottles of wine, others that hold a single bottle and two glasses as well as larger versions that accommodate two bottles, two goblets and even a corkscrew. Whether it’s on your honeymoon or future picnics or vacations you’ll enjoy together, a leather wine carrier is a gift that is both fun and practical.

Barbeque tools

Does your man love to grill? If so, this may just be the perfect gift to surprise him with on your wedding day. It might be a little on the practical side, but if your guy likes to cook he’ll think it’s a fun gift as well. Look for a set that includes everything he’ll need to prepare great barbeque dinners for the two of you, including a spatula, tongs, a meat fork and a marinating brush. Find a set with a convenient carrying case so he can store his tools and carry them along with him to cookouts with friends and family.

Of all the plans you’ve made for your wedding day, this is one of the most important. Show your groom how much he means to you with a unique personalized gift. Whether you choose a ring from the luxurious selection of modern men’s diamond wedding bands or purchase him a pragmatic gift like a barbecue set, you can be sure that your thoughtfulness won’t go unnoticed by the most important member in your wedding party – your future husband!
