Make the Most Out of Your Man Cave (Hint: Use Groomsmen Gifts)

Three flat-screen TVs, all tuned to football. A deer head mounted on the wall. A full bar with neon-lit pub signs, beer steins, and shot glasses. Sound like a dream? No - that's a man cave my friend. The beauty of the man cave is this: while your fiance spends all her time picking out throw pillows and duvets, you can steak your claim in the basement or with a few of your friends, a "no-girls allowed sign", and some manly groomsmen gifts. Welcome to Man Town Before you go spelunking inside the man-cave, mark your territory so your new wife doesn't turn it into a lady's lounge. We recommend you don't lift your leg like a wild beast. A personalized pub sign does the trick. Hanging up a pub sign sets the tone for rowdy times yet to come. For instance, this football pub sign says, "Superbowl" and this Tiki tavern sign says "Surfs Up." If you select multiple pub signs, make sure they coordinate with the same theme. Inside the Man Cave You want a man cave fit for a king, not a caveman. Start with a giant, over-stuffed couch. Buy leather if you can afford it. We know, the wedding and those groomsmen gifts cost a lot. But leather means easy clean up after your drunken buddies. To make it a true man-cave, you'll also need a wet bar and multiple televisions - so you can watch two (or even three) football games at the same time. When your man-cave is finally furnished, add the finishing touch with barware. These football beer steins and shot glasses are perfect for heavy drinkers. Or you could bring out these wine glasses for the wusses in your group. Just because it's a man cave doesn't mean it has to look like a cave. You can make it upscale a la Hugh Hefner (sans polygamy) with a few smoking jackets, a giant theater, and cigar humidors. Every guy needs time to unwind away from his wife's girly world. A man cave provides a place where men can yell at the tv, burp, grunt, and fart without scowls from the ladies. We like to think of it as paradise. Decorate your man cave the right way with groomsmen gifts and more from Groomstand.

We had a planned a trip to Flordia for the month of October but no trip to Disney. She was upset that we were not able to go to Disney but she understood that we had limited time in Florida since she was going to miss some school and we were on vacation on a holiday weekend. What she did not know was that I had her ring for a couple of weeks and everyone knew that I was going to propose to her at Disney. The finally came and I surprised her with a really nice dinner and told her that we had some time and I was able to get really good tickets to Disney. She was so excited and ask me it we were going to the Magic Kingdom to the castle. I told her maybe we will go see the fireworks. We walked around the Magic Kingdom for a while when my friends who were in on the plan said that we should take a photo in front of the castle. My lovely wife to be walked over to the castle and I slowly walked over to her. I told her I loved her very much and she said she loved me but she wanted to take the photo.

Luxury Wine Set - Impress The Ladies

Yes, even if your groomsmen are all married, it still excels in the groomsmens gifts department because let's face it, we never impress our wives enough anyway, right? I have seen more than a few really exceptional wine accessory gift sets in my time, but I have never seen a wine bottleneck dripper stopper before. That's the un-official name of course - the official name is the "cool ring on the neck thingy. If you really want to know what you are doing, you and your guys need this set. It has a spout for concise pouring. Could you imagine if you tackled your $20 bottle of vino with a beautiful corkscrew, the ring on the neck thingy, the spout and then the handsome stopper (in case you're a lightweight and don't finish the bottle)? Not to be crude but if you unleashed all of this technology on your beloved it's a scientific fact that her clothes will melt off. I wish I could tell you I made that last part up, but as Ron Burgundy once said, "It's Science." Now hook up your favorite romantic tunes on your iPod and you've got an evening for the ages. Enjoy!

Lurking In the Shadows

A customer called us the other day to inquire about the Personalized Golf Shadow Box. He wanted to make sure it was a good quality product (of course it is, we don't carry junk). He and our customer service rep got talking about his wedding, his groomsmen gifts and of course giving the Golf Shadow Box as groomsmen gifts. He told her his plan was to take a digital camera with him on the bachelor party excursion, which in normal circumstances is an absolute cardinal sin (but we'll let it slide in this scenario) and take candid shots of his groomsmen playing golf or as he described it, "attempting to play golf." He was then going to sift through all of the pictures, finding the best (or funniest) one of each guy and have glossy 4x6's printed. The pictures were going to be added to each groomsman's shadow box and presented to them at the rehearsal dinner. Now that is one of the more planned out and creative ideas for groomsmen gifts that we've heard in a long time. We did ask him if he'd send us one of the funnier pictures from the golf outing...let's see if he remembers or if his buddies let him. He ended up purchasing 11 Golf Shadow Boxes. Now who's going to step-up and match this great idea?

Love Might Be Ensured But It Sure Isn't Insured

Figuring that first bit out is probably something better kept between you and your lover, but insurance is something we all can discuss. Insurance claims for canceled and postponed weddings have more than doubled in the last year rocketing up to 47.5% from its prior 22%, according to Debenhams Wedding Insurance. In fact couples were more than twice as likely to claim for their nuptials being called off as they were for damage to the bride or groom's outfits, which, coming in at 20%, was the second most common reason for a claim. The other claims came out over supplier bankruptcies, damaged and stolen wedding-wear/ware, and car troubles. Holding true to ensured love though, the group doing the insurance study did find that although wedding cancellations and postponements had soared it wasn't because the couples had suffered a change of heart, but rather because a close relative was too ill to attend the ceremony. Or at the very least something along those lines. What this is all boiling down to is go ahead and postpone the wedding, but try and do it soon! At least before the insurance companies start messing with the coverage. All this makes us wonder if your bridesmaids gifts and groomsmen gifts are covered under these policies

Love Advice From 9-Year Old Playground Pick up Artist

Hint: Give Your Single Buddies his Book as Groomsmen Gifts Little dude might not be as old as you, but he sure knows how to talk to the ladies. At the tender age of 9 - when most of us could barely muster a hello to girls - Alec Greven wrote a book on how to talk to them. His best advice: "Make "Em Laugh." This $3 pamphlet, published by Harper Collins makes funny, lighthearted groomsmen gifts for your bachelor groomsmen. Give it to them before your wedding and see if the Greven technique works on bridesmaids. Obviously, since you already bagged a life partner, you probably don't need advice from a grade-schooler. Before you give him the wave of dismissal, remember - you still have to date your wife. As the playground pick-up artist advises in this article by the New York Post "comb your hair and don't wear sweats." Sounds like marital advice to us. Basically, don't let your self go - invest in a good grooming kit. How cool would it be to be that guy at nine? But he's not dating yet, he believes it's for older people like 15 or 16. Good luck little man! Ready to start shopping? Get personalized groomsmen gifts and more at GroomStand.

Lift a Glass To These Great Gifts For Groomsmen

You ever have one of those days at the office where nothing goes right? You know like Bill Murray in Stripes when he lost his job, his car, his apartment and his girl and the only thing he can say is, "And then depression set in." I know you've had those days. We all have. It's a moment when even a non-drinker says on his subway ride home, "Man I need a drink." Of course, you don't normally drink, so you wouldn't normally have a flask with you. Why would you? You're only a social drinker. Most of us only drink socially, yet we occasionally have those crappy days where by the time you get home have to change your clothes to go out to a suitable bar to have that drink, your depression has already turned to anger and then you're no fun to be around at all. For those infrequent moments we'd like to introduce you to the Personalized mini bar to-go set. Not only is this mini bar to-go unobtrusive and almost undetectable, we think it's great for the guy who has a pressure filled job and just occasionally needs that valve released. Just enough to get the edge off, not enough to share with the jealous faces he'll share the subway with.

Kick Off your Tailgate Party with These Groomsmen Gifts

Touchdown! It's football season and time for tailgating. If you're planning a fall wedding, stake out the stadium parking lot for your bachelor party. Tailgate parties may not have Vegas' glitz, glam, or scantily clad women, but they are fiance pre-approved. And you can always hit the clubs after watching the Big Game. Note: host your tailgate bachelor party the Saturday or Sunday a week before your wedding, never the day of; overtime could get you left at the alter. Here's how to throw the ultimate tailgate party and thank your best men with sports-themed groomsmen gifts. Remember the three "b"s: blankets, burgers, and beer. There's No Place Like Home Tailgators strive to make their parking spot look just like home. Bring blankets and your favorite recliner. Place camping chairs around a portable radio or TV (don't forget batteries). The only thing missing? The bar! Set up a cooler with football beer steins and coasters for your guests.

Sausages, burgers, and steaks, oh my. Before your next tailgate bash, stock up on grilling gifts for groomsmen. For festive party fare, brand burgers with your favorite player's initials using this custom steak brand. And there's no better time than a tailgate party to present those personalized hip flasks. Or wash down the chips and dips with whiskey held in these NFL shot glasses of course. Groomsmen Gifts for Pre-Game Entertainment Before the game begins and during halftime, provide pre-game entertainment. True tailgaters prefer dominoes, but any game will do. Another popular pastime is tailgate trivia - write down your favorite sports trivia questions and ask your groomsmen for the answers. Play tailgate trivia before the beer sets in so the game is fair. And to earn major kudos, give the winner a prize. Finally, football-themed gifts that won't have your groomsmen calling for an audible!

Keep Your Hands Off My Shaft!

That will be the battle cry from your closest friends when they fight to keep these great looking groomsmen gifts away from your other golfer buddies. I once had a prized possession putter stolen from my bag and I was literally unable to get out of bed for a week I was so disappointed. I kept thinking I'd see it in other people's bags and I'd look at the golfers suspiciously. Now if I'd have owned a Personalized Blade Putter that had my name on it, I'd have had a leg to stand on when digging through eighty year-old knickerbocker wearing old men's golfing bags. Make other groomsmen envious when they see this great looking toe-heel zinc head (weighted at 327 grams) putter. A conversation might go as follows, "Hey man, what groomsmen gifts did you get at your buddy's wedding?" - "Um, I got a cool set of headphones. What did you get?" - and you can answer him with a, "I got a highly stylish, highly effective, personalized hand crafted, hickory putter that will win me thousands of dollars every weekend on the course. Have fun with your headphones."" Technorati Tags: groomsmen gifts, guy gifts, golf gear
