The Colorado groom is no ordinary groom. He’s rugged, he’s a wild adventurer, he’s an explorer: most comfortable waking up in a tent and cooking on a fire. He is dignified and all American. He’s spontaneous, he loves his fiance extravagantly, and he cares about even the smallest details. Finding a gift that truly encapsulates his character can be a lot of fun. Think whimsical but practical. Something timeless that can become a staple into his married life. Think outside the box and beyond the gift registry.
Five Perfect Gifts for the Colorado Groom-to-be
#1 Gift him a quintessential Leather Backpack
This is the perfect accessory for the stylish explorer. It is rustic, masculine and bound to be used on romantic weekend trips into his marriage. What better way to add a chic twist and sophistication to his hiking gear. Better still, gift it to him before the wedding weekend and it is bound to be put to use before the nuptials. For a personal touch, emboss the leather straps with his and his new spouse’s initials.
#2 Buy him a guitar hanging case for his new home
A lot changes when you move from the bachelor pad into the newlywed apartment. The man cave is about to get a lot tidier. This guitar case is perfect for the romantic creative type to keep their instruments neatly stored rather than laying around the home. With his guitars easily accessible, he’ll be able to serenade his new partner whenever he pleases.
#3 A Polaroid Original camera
The groom has a unique and seldom captured perspective on the wedding day. Gift him this stunning, polaroid camera for him to be able to capture his own take on the big day through stylish and disposable pictures. With the Polaroid Original, you don’t need to be a master photographer to take classic photographs and capture a lifetime of memories. Better still, encourage the couple to start a tradition of taking polaroids of all the guests they host at their new apartment. They’ll love the process of documenting their newly married life together.
#4 A Beard Kit this is the ultimate gift for the Colorado Mountain hipster
Help him refine his shabby-chic look for the wedding day. With the help of some beard oil and trimmers, he can go from scruffy to suave in just a minute. His soon-to-be spouse needn’t be the only one to have a surprise during the first look photographs.
#5 A Bath Robe
Who says the bridal party needs to have all the fun with their matching robes? Kit the groom out with a snuggly, warm bathrobe - one that can handle the cold of a Colorado morning. Now your groom can do his day-of wedding prep in style. A fluffy robe is a must-have for long Colorado winters and ski trips. The groom is bound to put this to use into his marriage as he spoils his new partner with banana pancakes on a lazy Saturday morning.
