The Man Registry: 10 Must-Have Wedding Gifts for Grooms
Lately, we've been thinking a lot about wedding registries, so this month we'll be providing you with unique registry ideas that we hope you'll find inspiring! We enlisted the help of The Man Registry's Chris Easter in order to provide you with some fun and useful registry items that both grooms and brides can enjoy. Check out The Man Registry's Top 10 list below!
1. Nostalgia Electrics All-League Slider Maker – Tired of going out for sliders and ending up with a stomach ache for the entire next day? With the All-League Slider Grill, you can skip the uber-greasy fast food and prepare your own custom mini-burgers from the comfort of your own home. Pretty nifty if you ask me.
2. NCAA Collegiate Grill Topper – This is a truly genius invention that the college sports fan is sure to love. With the Grill Topper, you can literally grill your favorite team's logo into the meat that you're grilling. Some might say that this borders on obsession...I say that it borders on awesomeness!
3. Remote Control Cooler – At first glance, the RC Cooler might not look like a wedding gift. However, this handy device that works like a remote control car will become indispensible while entertaining (plus it will immediately make you the most popular couple on the block).
4. Bourbon Gourmet Sauce Kit – The only thing better than drinking whiskey is eating it. Sound strange? Let me explain. The Bourbon Sauce Kit includes Wild Turkey, Maker’s Mark and Evan Williams flavored barbecue sauces. Speaking from personal experience, this kit is a must-have.
5. Personalized Old Tavern Pub Sign - Home décor doesn't always have to include fine art and expensive furniture – especially when it comes to your home bar. Make sure your guests know whose beer and wine they're drinking with this custom sign that states the bar name, your names and the year established.
6. Weber Smokey Jo Grill – Are you the camping or tailgating type? If so, then you surely know how difficult it can be to find an adequate grill that’s easy to transport. The Weber Smokey Jo is a kettle style grill that features a 14” diameter cooking grate. This truly portable grill is constructed of heavy duty steel making it long-lasting and durable.
7. Non-Stick Corn Grilling Basket – Here’s the dilemma: grilled corn tastes better but is more difficult to make. With the non-stick corn basket, you can easily prepare up to four cobs at a time.
8. HD TV Screen Cleaner – Most television manufacturers recommend cleaning your HD TV at least twice a month to protect the screen. Our HD Screen Cleaning Kit includes anti-static, alcohol-free and ammonia-free cleaning fluid along with a fiber polishing cloth. You’ve spent a lot of money on your TV... take care of it!
9. Cabela’s Tool Bag – Tackle the "honey could you please do this" list in style with this heavy-duty tool storage bag from our partners at Cabela's. This weather-resistant nylon bag is available in black or green.
10. Custom Pilsner Glass Set – Barware is to the groom what fine china is to the bride. This pilsner glass set features four pieces that are each adorned with your initials. Beer sold separately.
Check back next week when I share my top gift ideas for the groomsmen.
