Looking for some outside-the-box wedding gift ideas? Discover our top registry picks that grooms love.
If you plan on getting married without involving your future husband in the registry decisions, you’re making a big mistake. While it’s easy to assume that most grooms aren’t interested in the task of building out a wedding gift wish list, it’s actually quite the opposite.
The concept of a wedding registry is so tied into tradition that we often bundle it up into the bride’s to-do list and keep trucking along. But grooms are one half of the equation, and creating your wedding registry is so much more fun when you can do it together.
Whether you want to lean into a new activity together, embrace a shared hobby, or add a few items that speak directly to your groom’s interests, we’ve got some great ideas for your wedding registry.
Solo Stove Ranger 2.0 Smokeless Fire Pit
I don’t know why, but most men I know are absolutely mesmerized by a good fire — and spend the majority of their time around it complimenting its builder. Solo Stove fire pits are incredibly easy to use, and at just 15 pounds, the Ranger 2.0 can go anywhere you want a safe, smoke-free fire. Your groom is guaranteed to get a lifetime of praise for this one.
Ooni pizza oven
In the last few years, Ooni has made a name for itself as the premier at-home pizza oven. As someone who succumbed to the pressure and now owns one, I can honestly say the hype is legitimate. In just 60 seconds, this small but mighty gas-powered oven cooks your pizza to perfection — and it folds up for storage just as quickly!
Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine
Every wonderful morning of marriage ought to start with a delicious cup of coffee. And a great cup of coffee starts with a state of the art coffee machine. Your groom will be excited to jump out of bed when he gets to start up your Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine, and with an easy learning curve, he’ll become a connoisseur before your paper anniversary.
Pickleball set
No pickleball court? No problem! There’s nothing stopping you and your groom from getting in a little friendly competition when you’ve got a complete pickleball set with a rolling net. Put it in your driveway, in the street, or set it up in the grass and start playing! This indoor-outdoor set comes with four paddles so you can play doubles with your favorite couple.
Tempur-Pedic mattress topper
Do you or your future groom struggle to achieve peaceful sleep? It could be your mattress. As someone who registered for a pillowtop mattress topper myself, I can’t sing its praises enough. Take it from me: Your marriage will have its ups and downs, but good sleep can make a world of difference in how you tackle it together. Add a Tempur-Pedic mattress topper to your registry and you’ll always wake up on the right side of the bed.
White noise machine
Speaking of getting a good night’s sleep, a white noise machine is a great investment for any couple whose sleep is interrupted by outside sounds (or even a noisy snorer!). This top-rated option comes pre-programmed with 20 sleep sounds and the ability to play continuously for the ultimate comfort.
Ring home security system
I know, everyone wants to protect their loved ones and their precious belongings — but men in particular really seem to lean into the sense of responsibility when it comes to home security. The beauty of the Ring home security system is that it’s easy to set up yourself (DIY grooms for the win!) and connects to your mobile device so you can always rest assured that your stuff is safe.
Tushy Classic Bidet
It’s 2024, which means that toilet talk is kind of…okay? Listen, if the idea of adding a top-rated personal hygiene device to your wedding registry just doesn’t do it for you, that’s fine — keep on scrolling. But for all you couples out there who are ready to transform their bathroom experience, put a Tushy bidet attachment on your registry already. Everyone will be happy. I promise.
Garmin dash cam
Got a groom who loves to watch dash cam footage online? Maybe he travels for work and has to drive a rental on occasion. Or, perhaps you both enjoy exploring the world and want to upgrade your gear. Whatever the reason, a dash cam can be a great addition to your wedding registry. Capture scenic drives or use footage to submit insurance claims wherever you happen to be on the road.
Bluetooth headphone adapter
One of the first things my husband does when he gets on a plane is fiddle with the in-flight entertainment. His biggest frustration? The fact that his expensive Bluetooth headphones are utterly incompatible with the in-seat headphone jack. Luckily, all it takes is a little adapter to connect any Bluetooth-enabled headset to the seat’s audio output, so everyone can settle in and truly enjoy the ride.
Cocktail Courier subscription
Part of planning a wedding means coming up with your signature cocktails. Usually, these are a couple’s go-to drinks that they want to share with their friends and family — tried and true recipes you’ve leaned on for years. But let’s be honest: It’s nice to shake things up after a while. A Cocktail Courier subscription lets you try new libations and potentially come up with a brand new drink that describes your vibe as an established married couple.
Blackstone Outdoor Griddle
Sure, you’ve heard of (and maybe even have) an outdoor grill — but what about a gas-powered griddle from Blackstone? Yeah, that’s a thing, and your groom is going to be really upset if he finds out about it after your registry is complete. It’s got everything he could need to enjoy open-air cooking: Wheels for portability, magnetic tool bar and foldable side shelves for storage, and a paper towel holder to catch any messes. What’s not to love?
Bowflex adjustable dumbbells
Getting a good workout shouldn’t come at the expense of a small space. For couples who enjoy their fitness but don’t have a dedicated area for it, a set of Bowflex adjustable dumbbells packs the power of a full rack of weights into an easy-to-store size for any room. My husband and I have our own set, and it’s made a huge difference in our ability to stay fit together.
Wireless charging tray
Does your future husband have the best intentions but still forget to charge his phone overnight? It happens to the best of us — but it doesn’t have to. A wireless charging tray gives your groom a wide target, ensuring he’ll wake up with a fully charged phone without even having to try. This one even comes with added storage space for his keys, wallet, and sunglasses so he can hit the ground running every single day.
Brooklinen luxury robe
Why leave the fancy plush robes for hotel stays? Your groom will feel like he’s on vacation every single day when he has a Brooklinen luxury robe to step into after stepping out of the shower. Made from 100% premium Turkish cotton, the fabric is durable, absorbent, and machine-washable. In fact, you’d better add two of these to your wedding registry, just to be safe.
Start your wedding registry
If you haven’t realized it by now, I’ll let you in on a little secret—there’s plenty for both you and your husband to enjoy on your wedding registry. This list may have been compiled with grooms in mind, but I’d just as soon add these items to my registry all on my own if I could do it all over again. Start your own registry today and explore all the awesome gifts in store.
