Groomsmen Gifts Australia: 15 Ideas Under $150 They'll Actually Wear
The best groomsmen gifts are things the boys will still use a year after the wedding. A hip flask with a date engraved on it tends to end up in a drawer. A good ring or bracelet gets worn. If you want the short answer: a matching titanium or tungsten band for each groomsman, in a proper gift box, costs roughly $100 to $140 a head, looks great in the wedding photos, and is something they'll actually keep wearing.
Below are 15 ideas at different budgets, plus the practical bits nobody tells you: how to get ring sizes without giving the game away, and how far ahead to order.

Rings
Rings are the gift that feels most "wedding". They suit a groom who's wearing a modern band himself, and they make for a great group photo with everyone's hands in. The only catch is sizing, which we cover further down.
1. Matching titanium bands, $59
The Titanium Wedding Band 8mm comes in black, gold or silver. Give everyone the same colour for a matching set, or let each groomsman pick his own. Titanium is so light that blokes who've never worn a ring don't mind it.
2. Slim titanium bands, $59
The 4mm Titanium Band is a narrower, more understated option. Good for groomsmen who'd find an 8mm ring a bit much.
3. Spinner rings, $59
The Men's Spinner Ring has an outer band that turns, which makes it oddly satisfying to wear. It's the fun option, and it comes in five colours, so you could colour-match the wedding.
4. Titanium signet ring, $79
The Silver and Gold Titanium Signet Ring has a classic signet look without the solid gold price. Good for the best man. Note the size range is US 8 to 11.
5. Brushed tungsten band, $99
Step up to tungsten and you get a ring that won't scratch, with a solid, weighty feel. The Brushed Center Comfort Tungsten Ring is a safe pick for any style.
6. Black tungsten band, $119
The Black Brushed Band Tungsten Ring 8mm is our most popular black band, and it looks sharp with a dark suit. There's a 6mm version too ($129).
7. Thin blue line ring, $119
If the groom or groomsmen are in the police, the Black Thin Blue Line Tungsten Ring 6mm carries meaning beyond the wedding.
8. Celtic dragon ring, $139
For a party with Irish or Scottish roots, the Black Blue Celtic Dragon Tungsten Ring is a bit different. Browse the Celtic dragon collection for other colours.
9. Wood and shell inlay ring, $139
The Black Abalone Wood Tungsten Ring suits a beach, vineyard or country wedding. Every ring is slightly different, which groomsmen tend to like.
Bracelets
Not every groomsman wants a ring, and bracelets dodge the sizing problem almost entirely. These are stainless steel cuffs and bracelets, so they're tough enough for everyday wear.
10. Minimal silver steel cuff, $69
The Silver Steel 4mm Minimal Cuff is clean and simple, and goes with a watch.
11. Minimal gold steel cuff, $79
The same idea in gold: the Gold Steel 4mm Minimal Cuff. Pairs nicely with a gold-toned wedding theme.
12. Woven steel cuff, $79
The Silver Steel Knotted Woven 10mm Cuff has more texture, for groomsmen who already wear a bit of jewellery.
13. Geometric magnetic cuff, $89
The Silver Steel Geometric Brick Magnetic Cuff has a magnetic clasp, so it's easy to take on and off.
14. Silver snake bracelet, $79
A smooth chain-style silver snake bracelet that suits a more classic dresser.

Presentation
15. LED ring gift box, $39.99
The Luxury LED Ring Gift Box lights up when you open it. Hand one to each groomsman on the morning of the wedding and it turns a $59 ring into a moment. It comes in navy blue or black.
How to get ring sizes without spoiling the surprise
This is where most groomsmen gifts go wrong. Tungsten and titanium can't be resized, so guessing isn't a great plan. A few ways to get it right:
- Just ask. Honestly, most groomsmen won't guess why, or won't mind. Say it's for the suit fitting.
- Ask their partner to borrow a ring they already wear and measure it. Our ring sizing guide shows how to measure the inside diameter.
- Do it at the suit fitting. Bring a ring sizer or a strip of paper and make it part of the day.
- Remember the width. If you're buying 8mm bands, go up half a size from their usual size. More in 6mm vs 8mm rings.
- Not sure at all? Choose bracelets instead.
When to order
Aim for four to six weeks before the wedding. Delivery is usually quick (we ship free across Australia, typically within one business day), but leaving time means you can check everything has arrived, sort out any sizing issue, and avoid a last-minute panic. Read our returns policy before you order, especially for rings.
Make it feel personal
- Write a note. Two lines on why he's standing next to you matters more than the gift.
- Give them early, at the bucks' or the morning of the wedding, so they wear the rings on the day.
- Get the group photo. Everyone's hands together, rings on, is one the groomsmen will keep.
- Do something for the best man. A different colour, or a signet, sets him apart.
Common questions
How much should I spend on groomsmen gifts in Australia?
There's no rule. Most grooms spend somewhere between $50 and $150 per person, often a little more for the best man.
Should groomsmen gifts match?
They don't have to. A matching set looks great in photos, but letting each groomsman choose a colour means he's more likely to wear it.
Is a ring a weird gift for groomsmen?
Not anymore. Plenty of men wear a ring that isn't a wedding band. A plain black or silver band is easy to wear on any finger. See what finger to wear a ring on.
What if I don't know their size?
Ask them, or choose a bracelet. Tungsten and titanium rings can't be resized.
Can I get the rings engraved?
Tungsten and titanium can be laser engraved by a specialist engraver. Ask a local engraver before ordering if engraving is important to you.
