A perfect groomsmen gift for the guy who has a man cave, game room or just has converted his basement into a bar. The best part is this kit attaches to the keg shell using bolts and no holes need to be drilled. That means the Keg Stool can be removed and the keg shell returned without damaging the keg.

The Keg Stool is sold just the kit or can be purchased with a decommissioned keg. The kit will run you $99.99 plus $20 shipping and the kit with the empty keg is $199.99 plus $40 shipping. You can purchase your own Keg Stool HERE.

The Brewzkey is a sturdy bottle opener that is shaped just like your house key but opens up bottles instead of doors. The unique design can handle any type of bottle cap and is only the width of a nickel. Now your groomsmen can still open up a bottle whenever they want without being weighed down by a bulky promotional key chain bottle opener. Take a look at these very short videos to see the Brewzkey in action.

Unless your wedding reception is going to be dry, meaning 100% alcohol free, more than likely someone might have one too many and wake up with a hangover. Who are we kidding? It might even be you… the groom. But what if there was a cool groomsmen gift that would prevent, or at the very least, lessen the impact of the inevitable hangover? Would you take it? Of course you would.

You need to check out the Zaca Organic Hangover Patch. It’s simple to use in that you wear it like one of those “quitting smoking patches“. Simply peel it off its backing, apply the patch to a hairless area of the body before taking your first drink and you are done. This isn’t like those other hangover prevention treatments that make you take a pill with every new drink. The Zaca Organic Hangover Patch once applied needs to stay stuck for 24 hours and it will reduce if not eliminate the intensity of a hangover.

The Zaca Patch manufacturers do warn that by using their product it will not lessen the intoxication level of alcohol. This is not an alcohol inhibitor. When using the Zaca Hangover Patch, you need to act responsibly as you normally would when consuming alcohol. That means do not drive a car, don’t operate heavy machinery, try not to hook up with the fat bridesmaid, etc. Also, by using the Zaca Organic Hangover Patch it will not give you super human drinking powers either. Just because the Zaca Patch can reduce your hangover does not give you license to drink the entire bottle of Wild Turkey. The Zaca Organic hangover Patch is good but it can’t overcome stupidity. And we can all agree drinking an entire bottle of whiskey is stupidity.

Zaca’s website has a number of testimonials on there and there was even a blogger who tested the patch while throwing down 14 Gin & Tonics. He even “live tweeted” the whole thing on Twitter and claimed the next morning he should have been way more hungover than he actually was. So I guess the stuff works.

The Zaca Organic Hangover Patch not only qualifies as a cool groomsmen gift but also a useful one. You may even get a six-pack of patches before the bachelor party to see how well they perform for you. A 6-pack of Zaca Organic Hangover Patches will cost you $19.95. Give these out at the rehearsal dinner and your groomsmen are assuredly going to remember your wedding much more fondly than had they not used “the patch”.

The Koozie Pocket Shirt is a stylish polo shirt but instead of a normal front pocket, that pocket is actually a beer koozie. The inside of the pocket is made from the same material as a regular beer koozie to keep your can or bottle cold. The pocket of the Koozie Pocket Shirt is reinforced to be able to handle a 12 oz. can, a 16 oz. can or even a plastic stadium cup.The best part is that the pocket not only keeps your can or bottle cold but it also prevents moisture from seeping back onto the wearer of the shirt. So now you can roam hands free while keeping your beer with you and keeping it cold at the same time.

Check out their informative, yet annoying, commercial video:

Sizes range from men’s medium to XXL and colors come in Red, Royal Blue or Forrest Green. You can buy your groomsmen their own Koozie Pocket Shirts HERE for $24.95 plus shipping.

You read that correctly. It’s a beer pong table that is more like a beer pong raft. The Port-o-Pong inflatable beer pong table is designed like a pool raft but has ten cup holders in the shape of a triangle on each end. The configuration is perfect for beer pong and the Port-o-Pong even has an additional cup holder on each end for the water cup. (Although if you are playing beer pong with this inflatable beer pong raft in the pool, having a water cup seems kind of ridiculous.)

Port-o-Pong inflatable beer pong tables come in a variety of colors including blue and pink. (Get a pink one and it would make a nice wedding gift to you future bride.) They sell for $49.99 plus shipping. Get your groomsmen their own Port-o-Pong inflatable beer pong tables HERE.

In addition to transforming your beer can into a beer mug, the manufacturer claims it helps to keep your beer cold too. I guess by holding the handle and not placing your hand directly on the outside of the can prevents body heat transfer to the can. Someone actually tested this theory out and did a video on it.

They say necessity is the mother of all invention. That is truly the case with Grill Charms. Created by Leslie Heywood, she thought up the idea for Grill Charms when one night her husband accidentally served her a chicken breast marinated in a spicy sauce when she wanted a mild sauce. After that experience she thought there has to be a better way to identify grilled meats before someone takes a bite. Heywood figured there was a way to identify someone’s wine glass by using those wine charms around the base of a wine glass so why couldn’t the same concept be applied to grill meats?

Since coming up with the concept, there are now a number of different variations of
Grill Charms depending on what you want to identify.

The Spicy Collection is designed for those grilling experiences where different sauces, marinades and dry rubs are being used and cooked on the same grill. The Spicy Collection of Grill Charms is designed to avoid getting a piece of meat that is either too hot and spicy or too mild depending on your personal preference.

The Steak Collection is all about how you want your steak cooked. If you like your steak well done, put in the appropriate Grill Charm. Like yours more on the medium side? No biggie. There’s a Grill Charm for that. Like your steak rare to the point a good vet can have it up on it’s feet in about 20 minutes? There is a Grill Charm to identify that piece of meat too.

Season Your Own Collection are the Grill Charms with a number of different symbols that party guests can stake their claim on a particular steak and season it to their liking. These charms have symbols like a sailboat, the $ symbol, a martini glass, etc. All you need to do is remember which Grill Charm you went with and you’ll know exactly which steak is yours when they come off the grill.

Another use of Grill Charms is for those who have food allergies. If someone is allergic to peanuts or has a gluten intolerance, Grill Charms are a great way to identify those pieces of meat those guest should avoid. Also, those on low sodium diets they can use Grill Charms to know to avoid the meats marinaded in a soy sauce mixture. People with food allergies need to be especially careful because even one bite of food that contains and allergen can really make them sick. Grill Charms can avoid that problem and allows guest to enjoy themselves worry free.

The best part of this cool groomsmen gift is that Grill Charms cost less than $20 for a set. A set of Grill Charms includes six charms depending on the set you choose. The box of six costs &19.95. Even though Grill Charms may look like cuff links, make sure to not mix them up into your tuxedo bag on the day of the wedding.

Some grooms automatically know who their Best Man will be come wedding day. Others have to struggle with the decision. Hopefully this little bit of unsolicited advice for the groom will help.

When it comes to picking a Best Man you need to think selfishly. That’s right, someone is actually encouraging you to be selfish and here’s why.

The Best Man has a number of expected responsibilities and you want to make sure your choice does them without fail. Some of the traditional duties of the Best Man include: holding the rings safe until they are needed during the ceremony, making sure the wedding musicians and officiant are paid, giving the first toast and planning the bachelor party among other expected duties. (A more comprehensive list of Best Man duties can be found HERE.) You definitely do not want to leave those tasks up to someone that will drop the ball. Just because he has been your best pal since 3rd grade does not mean he will make a good Best Man.

Some grooms choose a Best Man out of obligation. Many will choose their brother because they think that is what they are supposed to do. Others think, “I was the Best Man in his wedding so I guess I kind of, sort of have to make him my Best Man.” Still other grooms will choose their Best Man based on the length of time they have known the guy. And the worst way to choose your best Man would be to believe they would be offended or hurt if you did not choose them. All of these options are the wrong way to choose a Best Man.

The right reason to select a Best Man can be answered in the following questions you need to ask yourself.

• Will he do a good job at what is expected of him?
• Can he make a Best Man’s first toast/speech without embarrassing you, your bride and himself?
• Are you close with him that you feel he can be counted on?
• Does he have the skills to plan the Bachelor Party?

If you answered yes to all of those questions, you have found your Best Man. Notice how not one of the questions was “Are you related to this person?’ or “Did you grow up together?”. When choosing a Best Man none of those things should come into play.

So when it comes to selecting a Best Man, choose one that will be there to compliment you and your bride’s day. It’s your day too so you should be a little more focused on you and make sure it applies to the Best Man by your side.
