Say "thank you" with these distinctively Western groomsmen gifts.
Saying "thank you" to your groomsmen on your wedding day can be done through gifts that embody the Western culture. Think about their favorite pastimes and hobbies so you can incorporate these themes into the presents. Bring out the inner cowboy in your male entourage members and relive the wild, Western vibe through these gifts.
Leather Luggage
Leather luggage items are practical gifts for the members of your entourage. Roller luggage, handbags, backpacks, toiletries bags, duffel bags and even leather briefcases done in sand- or tan-colored leather evoke the Western feel. Take it a step further by having the items custom-branded with their names or initials on the flaps or pockets of the bags. Match these bigger leather items with smaller ones such as mobile phone holders, leather wallets, passport holders, key chains and cardholders.
Cowboy Clothing
Give your friends some Western clothing, which they can use as costumes or as collectible items. A classic Western piece are cowboy chaps. Select a different type of cowboy chap for each member of the entourage so that they will not get the same designs --- choose from cutting chaps, rodeo chaps, shotgun, show, chink or the bat-wing chaps. Have a photo shoot with everyone wearing the chaps at the same time.
Gift Set Items
Assemble a collection of items that evoke the Western culture. If you want your gift to really stand out, give your groomsmen custom-made Western steak branders so they can mark each steak that they make as their own. Each brander can spell their initials or even their entire name. Poker chips inscribed with their name or playing cards with a custom-design such as favorite photos with the groomsmen, are also fun favors that are usable and memorable at the same time. Include some Western hardware such as drawer pulls, pins or cuff links to complete the set.
Going Beyond the Usual
A boxed set of Western film DVDs is a good gift for film aficionados. Pair the DVDs with some treats packaged in a Western-designed box so they have something to munch on while watching the films. You can also buy personalized "Wanted" poster signs that can be hung in their rooms, as well as some cowboy boot hooks for belts and ties. For those who are into board games, there is a John Wayne edition of Monopoly.
