Top Seven Worst Gift Ideas For Your Groomsmen By Claire Remes At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Men are not usually a picky bunch. They'd normally love to receive any gift you present them with as long as they know it comes from the heart. But even then, future brides and grooms should still take care when selecting the gifts for their groomsmen. Here are some ideas of what you should NOT even think of giving them.

Clothes that don't fit. Before you think of presenting your groomsmen with sweatshirts and t-shirts embroidered with their favorite baseball team's name, make sure you know their sizes. Otherwise, the t-shirts will just end up tossed in a ball at the back of their drawers.

Thighmaster. Sure, men love to work out, but not with this exercise equipment. Your groomsmen will probably mistake it for a boomerang and before you know it, you're having hundreds of Thighmasters flying around you on your wedding day. Save the Thighmaster for your bridesmaids. You're groomsmen prefer to go out to the gym and sweat it out with their work-out buddies.

Abstract artwork. Men and art rarely blend together. Unless your groomsman is the artsy, sophisticated kind of guy who visits an art museum for a first date, this would be the perfect gift for him. Unfortunately, there aren't too many of these guys. Most of them would toss your gift away the minute you turn your back on them. Worse, he'll only turn the painting into a tabletop for his garage workshop. Men won't welcome anything they can't understand.

Tickets to the ballet. If your groomsmen couldn't find it in themselves to appreciate the usefulness of abstract paintings, it will even be more difficult for them to like the ballet. You're putting such good money to waste with these kinds groomsmen gifts. Even if your groomsmen decide to head to the ballet, chances are they'll be asleep even before the first performance is over.

Your wedding photos. Of course, your groomsmen are happy for you. It's just that they appreciate more practical gifts that they can make use of everyday. There are more options to replace the framed wedding photo of a star-crossed couple, such as barware, golf putters, leather accessories, Swiss army knives, barbeque grills, poker sets, iPod gadgets, etc. And the list goes on.

Cheap cologne. There's no better way to tell your groomsmen that you totally forgot to buy them gifts for your wedding than a bottle of cheap cologne you purchased from some obscure grocery store cashier counter at the last minute. Your groomsmen may be, well, men, but anyone can spot cheap cologne when they see, ahem, smell one.

A Celine Dion CD. You may think Celine Dion's CD is the perfect soundtrack to any wedding made in heaven. But your groomsmen, or any real, self-respecting man for that matter, do not dig this sappy, love song kind of music. If any one of your groomsmen begins humming to Celine Dion's latest single, you should start considering if he should be a bridesmaid instead.
