Last updated February 5, 2024
Though wedding planning is not always entirely relaxing, creating a registry is fun. A wedding registry list gives wedding guests pre-picked gifts the couple is certain to love. You can add items from any retailer, any platform, and any corner of the internet (at least when you register with Zola!) to create the ultimate wish list of everything you want and need to start your life with your soon-to-be-spouse.
And while there’s definitely room on the registry for items for the two of you as a couple, there’s also an opportunity to register for a few wedding gifts that are just for you—and that includes if you’re the groom. But finding the perfect gift isn't always easy, it can be hard to find a groom's gift he’ll absolutely love. Here are some of our picks for the best fun wedding registry gifts for guys.
Enjoy a strong pour of whiskey at the end of the day? The Noblesse drinkware set, which comes equipped with a crystal decanter and two tumblers, will lend a sense of luxury to your at-home cocktail hour.
More of a beer guy? This set of crystal IPA glasses, which come in a variety of shapes and sizes, is the addition to your home bar you didn’t know you needed.
No matter what kind of glasses you get for your bar, you’re going to need somewhere to store them. This midcentury modern bar cart will lend a sense of elegance and sophistication to any room—and with three tiers of open shelving, there’s plenty of space for all of your cocktail hour must-haves.
If you’re looking to add some high-tech convenience to your home, you’ll definitely want to check out this smart speaker from Sonos. Sonos One GEN 2 comes fully integrated with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, which allows you to do everything from asking questions to check the news to play your favorite tunes—all completely hands-free. It's a perfect gift any music or tech aficionado will absolutely love.
If you’re a DIY guy, you can’t go wrong with adding tools to your wedding registry—and this lithium drill/driver project kit from Black+Decker has just about every tool you could want for your home improvement projects, from a 12V max lithium-ion drill/driver to an adjustable wrench to ALL the screwdrivers (think Phillips-head, ratcheting, and slot).
A watch does so much more than tell time—it tells stories. This coffee-table book, by watch collector Matthew Hranek, is a collection of stories about 76 iconic watches and the men who wore them, from Paul Neumann to JFK to Ralph Lauren.
Hosting a destination wedding or planning a relaxing beach honeymoon? This carry-on will help you get all the essentials to your destination—and help you get it there in style.
With the Gentleman’s Hardware Travel Ready Kit from Wild & Wolf, you’ll have all the essentials you need to keep your skin looking and feeling it’s best on your honeymoon (or wherever you travel), including face wash, moisturizer, and a 3-in-1 shampoo/shower/shave wash.
Struggle to sleep while you’re traveling? Not only does this weighted sleep mask block out light, but it also uses deep pressure stimulation on key relaxation pressure points to promote healthy, restful sleep.
A pocket knife is a must-have for camping—and this Spartan Tech Swiss Army Pocket Knife from Victorinox Cutlery, which packs 12 essential functions into a sparse 3.5 inches, is a must-try.
There’s a certain element of “roughing it” when you go camping—but that doesn’t have to extend to food. With this camp stove from Camp Chef, you have everything you need to whip up delicious meals (including pancakes!)—no campfire required.
Whether you’re roasting marshmallows at your campsite or flipping burgers in your backyard, this 13-piece toolset from Cuisinart has everything you need for the perfect grill session, including a spatula, tongs, and stainless steel skewers.
These groom's registry ideas are a great place to start when crafting your wedding registry list.
