Groomsmen proposal boxes

Box Type

Firstly, you'll need to decide on the type of box you want to use. You can find magnetic gift boxes, timber boxes, cigar boxes, and simple cardboard boxes with magnetic closures. Some boxes come with personalisation options, allowing you to add names, titles, and messages to the lid or front of the box.

Gifts

Now for the fun part—filling the box! You can choose to buy a pre-made groomsmen gift pack or fill the box with your own selection of gifts. Here are some gift ideas:

• Stubby holder or cooler
• Bottle opener
• Sunglasses
• Socks
• Flask
• Glass
• Card
• Lighter
• Wine or beer bottle with a personalised label
• Whiskey or bourbon
• Pocket knife

Presentation

Finally, you can add some extra touches to the presentation of the box. Fill the box with shredded paper or tissue paper to add a pop of colour and protect the gifts. You could also include a string of fairy lights in the box for a magical touch.
