We get emails ALL the time from readers looking for a little help in picking out the perfect gift for the boys…a gift that is fun, that is personal and that won’t break the bank. Well, our fabulous Round-Ups Editor Carrie, has put the petal to the metal and found some seriously great gifts for your guys.

Today’s Round Up is all about the boys and those tricky gifts to show appreciation. There are several different paths you can go down when it comes to the type of gift your groom gives. While many guys want to keep it strictly personal, it’s always a safe bet to gift the guys something they can wear on the big day. The next items are some cool finds to make sure those groomsmen are looking spiffy on the day of.

Row I: Tie clips are coming back in a big way, thanks to hit shows like Mad Men. This one by Banana Republic is a chic way to keep ties all pulled together. And speaking of great ties, we are loving the simple, gray tones like this one from Barney’s. Going for a traditional bow-tie look? Gift a really good one so your groomsmen can stay in style long after the big day.

Row II: Introduce your best buds to The Art of Shaving with this handy and travel size kit. Splurge a little more and pair this kit with a close shave at your local barbershop the morning of the wedding. Every guy can use a nice tie case. This one by Orvis is a great gift for your groomsmen that are always on the go. A traditional, but incredibly useful gift is a nice set of handkerchiefs. Save a little cash by breaking up the set or make it more personal by getting each one monogrammed.

Row III: Want a simple and classic cuff link? The knot set by Banana Republic is surprisingly affordable counterpart to it’s other pricier renditions. If you plan on playing some golf with your buds on the wedding weekend, a nice polo shirt is a great, gift to keep your guys looking good all weekend long. More and more guys are adding a little flair to their wedding day attire. Oberon socks are an easy way to achieve high style with complete functionality.

More man-friendly finds coming up in just a bit!
