Buying Guide
Benefits
If you're looking for ideas for a man who deserves a high quality item, then here's why we recommend ditching the classic cufflinks or watches, and choosing a leather gift instead:
Lasting Impression
You don’t want a regular, everyday gift for a day that represents a lifetime of commitment and love.
Leave a lasting impression on your friends, letting them know they are valued in your life and that their support means a lot to you. The quality of an expensive gift will do that.
High-Quality Materials
The higher price tag brings superior design, craftsmanship, and durability. The gift will last longer, look better, and function better than lesser options.
Versatility
Premium gifts work well in a wide range of situations, elevating a casual setting, and blending in seamlessly in a more formal one.
Compatibility with Premium Brands
A designer watch case works with many luxury watch brands, a personalized, premium leather tablet cover suits a wide range of tech brands, and a top-tier whiskey glass set elevates the experience of whichever whiskey they put in it.
Customization
Personalization is a great way to add value and meaning to your groomsman gifts, and premium gifts often include options to have this done at the point of manufacture, ensuring the best quality and suitability to the item itself.
Uniqueness
Upscale gift items stand out as something special. They are less common, or even unique, and serve as points of interest, conversation starters, or even subtle signs of quality and success.
How to Choose
Taking the time to make a thoughtful gift choice is well worth the time and effort. It will ensure that the gifts suit you, the men to whom you’re giving them, and the occasion.
We know you’re busy with other wedding things too, so we’ve put together a few factors for you to consider when choosing. Let’s take a look.
Purpose & Functionality
Choose items that can be worn or used regularly. Watches, shaving kits, high-end leather wallets, or technology cases and sleeves are good examples.
Utility & Lifestyle Match
Consider a different gift for each groomsman. One may appreciate a cigar humidor, while another is a non-smoker and might prefer premium, leather-finished headphones.
Personalization
Personalizing an item is a great way to make it more special. Engraved whiskey glasses, watches, or hip flasks are excellent examples, and leather goods lend themselves well to adding not just names, but sentiments or favorite quotes as well.
Custom-made Gifts
To symbolize the fact that your wedding, your friends, and your sentiments are unique to you, consider tailored or custom items that are also unique. Custom artwork, leather goods, or jewelry are popular choices.
Material & Quality
Durability
Wood, leather, and stainless-steel items hold up well through the rigors of daily life – and that durability is a great fit with the sentiment of the wedding day and the marriage to follow.
Craftsmanship
Sophisticated design, intricate detail, or skillfully handcrafted details showcase the quality of the gift.
Experience-based Gifts
In some cases, an experience is the best gift. A thrilling experience like hot air ballooning or skydiving suits the adventurous types, or a day at a high-end men’s spa or luxury barber is a great way to have a group experience while preparing for the big day.
Theme Consistency
Consider the reason for the gift – the wedding – and the symbolism each gift is meant to represent. Think of things that last, are of high quality, and exude feelings of loyalty and care.
If the wedding itself is themed, you can also tie the gifts into that theme. Nautical watches for a nautical theme, for example, or items sourced from the location of a destination wedding.
Interests & Hobbies
You can also choose gifts according to the interests and hobbies of the groomsmen. Whether it is golf, traveling, art, automobiles, or yoga, a high-end gift that can be used while enjoying a hobby is always welcome.
Packaging
The first impression of your gift will set the tone for the whole thing. Luxury wrapping will ensure that the quality of the gift contained in it is recognized immediately and appreciated from the first moment onward.
Budget
An expensive gift is not about the price, but about the value. It should be beautiful, useful, and have emotional significance.
Determine your budget and stick to it. It is worth considering, too, that a less expensive item with some money held back for personalization, is often more meaningful than something a bit more expensive, but generic.
Quantity vs. Quality
If more than one item catches your eye, consider a few smaller gifts as a set, rather than one larger one.
For example, a leather shaving kit, passport holder, and luxury wallet would make a great matching set for a groomsman who loves to travel… or you could spend the same amount on a premium travel bag.
Cultural & Personal Sensitivities
Make sure the gifts are appropriate to cultural and religious sensitivities. For example, some religious groups would not appreciate leather goods. Others do not wear any jewelry.
Future Relevance
Choose items that have resonance in the moment, but will last for years to come as well. Something too trendy will soon find its way onto a closet shelf to remain, unused and almost forgotten – something timeless in design might still be in regular use several decades from when it was given.
Hidden Maintenance Costs
Be aware that some gifts have additional maintenance costs. Some luxury pens require specific inks or regular maintenance, for example, and leather goods need a minute or two to apply a leather conditioner a couple of times a year.
Which Type To Choose
Monogrammed Leather Wallets
Leather wallets from Von Baer are more than just accessories; they are a statement of sophistication and durability. Monogramming these wallets transforms them into unique tokens of gratitude.
A well-crafted wallet becomes a daily companion, with each use serving as a reminder of your special day. The tactile experience of handling fine leather, coupled with the personalization, elevates the product from a functional item to a cherished possession.
Personalized gifts resonate deeply, offering a tangible connection to the giver and enhancing the sentimental value.
Custom Engraved Keyrings
A keyring, while simple, holds immense practical value. Engraving it with a heartfelt message or the wedding date adds a layer of personal significance.
This transformation from a mundane object to a personalized keepsake ensures it becomes a constant reminder of your appreciation. The subtle elegance of a custom engraved keyring speaks volumes about the thought and effort invested in selecting the gift.

A travel bag is more than a practical item; it’s a symbol of freedom and adventure, encouraging your groomsmen to explore new horizons with a touch of sophistication.
Leather goods blend practicality with timeless elegance, making them perfect for the modern professional.
Premium Backpacks
A high-quality leather backpack from Von Baer is a versatile gift that combines practicality with style. These backpacks are designed to meet the demands of daily use while offering a refined aesthetic.
The thoughtful design ensures ample space and durability, making them suitable for both professional and personal use.

The combination of functionality and style makes them a perfect choice for groomsmen who appreciate well-crafted, practical gifts.
Functional gifts, chosen thoughtfully, demonstrate an understanding of your friends’ daily lives and personal preferences.

Von Baer was founded because I wanted a unique and high-quality laptop bag for myself, without paying for an unreasonably overpriced designer brand. I've spent over 500 hours testing 1,000s of leather products over to help you get a better product.
I'm proud of the luxurious leather goods we've created since 2014, and I'm sure you'll love them too. Read more about our story here.

How Is Von Baer Leather Different?
Not all leather is the same.
Since 2015, we at Von Baer have dedicated ourselves to high-quality real leather.
Here's a 30-second summary of how to choose a better leather product:
- Leather comes in different grades: full-grain, top-grain, and split/bonded - which represent how much of the original product is used (less product used = cheaper).
- Full-grain is the best grade of leather you can buy: exceptionally durable, developing an elegant patina, and having that beautiful real leather smell.
- Cheaper grades are less durable, age poorly, and don't have that authentic scent.
- Leather is processed through "tanning", which makes it durable and water-resistant.
- The two main methods for this are "vegetable-tanning" and "chrome-tanning".
- Chrome tanning uses harsh chemicals that are bad for the environment and produce a worse quality leather.
- Vegetable tanning is the best method, being more eco-friendly, and producing leather with a better patina and scent.
That's why here at Von Baer, we only use full-grain vegetable-tanned Italian leather, sourced from the finest tanneries across Tuscany, Italy.
It ages beautifully over time, developing a unique patina, making it more durable and luxurious than lower-quality leather.
It's also why we developed the leather standards trademark Cuoio Superiore (meaning "superior leather" in Italian).
