Groomsmen Gifts
Handcrafted wooden watches and sunglasses your groomsmen will actually wear long after the wedding day. Personalized, practical, and made from sustainably sourced wood, every Joycoast gift ships free, plants 10 trees, and comes ready to give in premium packaging.
Groomsmen Gifts They Will Actually Use
The best groomsmen gifts are personal, useful, and easy to give. Joycoast wooden watches and sunglasses check all three boxes. They are lightweight, comfortable, handcrafted from sustainably sourced wood, and designed to be worn long after the wedding weekend.
Instead of another flask, bottle opener, or item that ends up in a drawer, Joycoast gives your wedding party something they can wear to the rehearsal dinner, bachelor party, wedding weekend, honeymoon travel, and everyday life after.
Every watch or pair of sunglasses has its own natural wood grain, so no two pieces are exactly alike. Add custom engraving to a wooden watch and each groomsman gets something personal without making the process complicated.
Best Groomsmen Gift Ideas from Joycoast
Engraved Wooden Watches
A personalized wooden watch is the most classic Joycoast groomsmen gift. Each watch is lightweight, unique, and can be engraved on the back with a name, wedding date, role, initials, or short message.
Wooden Sunglasses
Wooden sunglasses are a great choice for destination weddings, outdoor weddings, bachelor parties, and summer wedding weekends. They are practical, easy to wear, and feel different from the typical groomsmen gift.
Watch and Sunglasses Gift Set
For the most premium option, the watch and sunglasses gift set is the best option. This creates a complete gift set that feels elevated, useful, and ready to hand out.
Personalized Groomsmen Gifts
Personalization is what makes a groomsmen gift feel thoughtful instead of generic. Joycoast engraves watches in-house at our Chicago headquarters, which gives us more control over quality and timing.
Most customers engrave each watch with the groomsman’s name, wedding date, initials, role in the wedding, or a short personal message. For the cleanest look, keep the engraving short and simple.
Examples:
Name + wedding date
Best Man + initials
Coordinates of the wedding location
A short inside joke
“Thanks for standing by me”
Engraved watches are personalized and cannot be returned or exchanged, so double-check spelling before submitting your order.
Groomsmen Gift Boxes and Sets
Presentation matters. Joycoast watches come in a bamboo gift box with a resizing tool, extra links, cleaning cloth, and instructions. Sunglasses come with a soft cloth case and lens cloth.
For wedding parties, you can order matching sets of 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, or more. Each watch can have a different engraving while the overall gift presentation stays consistent.
This section should show images of several watches or boxes together. It helps shoppers imagine handing these out to the full wedding party.
Unique Groomsmen Gifts That Are Not Whiskey or Flasks
Not every groomsman drinks. And even the ones who do probably already have enough whiskey glasses, flasks, and bottle openers.
Joycoast is a strong alternative for anyone looking for groomsmen gifts that are not alcohol-related. Wooden watches and sunglasses are personal, stylish, useful, and easy to wear. They feel more thoughtful than a novelty gift and more unique than another bar accessory.
This should be one of the most important sections on the page because it gives Joycoast a clear angle against most traditional groomsmen gift guides.
How Much Should You Spend on Groomsmen Gifts?
Most couples spend around $50 to $150 per groomsman, depending on the size of the wedding party and the type of gift.
Joycoast options usually fit into these ranges:
Under $100: wooden sunglasses
$100 to $150: premium sunglasses or upgraded styles
$150 to $250: engraved wooden watches
$250 and up: complete watch and sunglasses gift sets
The right budget depends on how close you are with your wedding party, how many people you are buying for, and whether you want the gift to be personalized.
Sustainable Groomsmen Gifts That Give Back
Every Joycoast product is made with sustainably sourced wood and plants 10 trees through Trees for the Future.
That means a wedding party of six plants 60 trees. If each person receives a watch and sunglasses gift set, that same group plants 120 trees.
It is a simple way to give your groomsmen something they will use while also creating a positive impact beyond the wedding day.
