A personalized backpack is the groomsmen gift that keeps showing up. He carries it to work on Monday, to the gym on Wednesday, and to the airport for the bachelor trip, with his initials stitched on the front the whole time. Four of the five packs here are embroidered with a name, initials, or a short line, in a thread color you pick, and the same bag can carry a different name for each man in the party. Standard delivery is 8 to 12 business days.
The best personalized backpack for most groomsmen is the Kick Back Pack at $59.99. Vintage washed cotton canvas, 18 by 13.5 inches, three outside zippered pockets, embroidered with his initials, in khaki, black, or green. It is the one that looks right on a commute and on a trail. If you want something that turns into a duffle for the wedding weekend, the Convertible Canvas Backpack at $79.99 has hideaway padded straps so it carries either way, in coyote brown, olive drab, or black.
For the guys who spend weekends outside, the Brew Chaser Back Pack Cooler at $69.99 is a water resistant backpack cooler with padded straps, a front zip pocket for keys and phone, and his initials on the front. And the Fast Track Rucksack at $79.99 is the drawstring canvas rucksack with leather accents that reads a little more heritage, embroidered with up to 15 characters.
A backpack covers one groomsman. These are the pages the rest of the party usually comes from.
Three things decide it. What he will actually carry it to, whether you want the same bag for the whole party, and how much thread you want on the front.
Match the bag to his week. A commuter or a student wants a classic shape with pockets, which is the Kick Back Pack. A guy who travels wants the Convertible Canvas Backpack, because it is a backpack in the airport and a duffle in the hotel. A tailgater or a boat guy wants the Brew Chaser Back Pack Cooler, because it is the only one here built to keep drinks cold. The one exception on this page is the Carhartt Canvas Backpack at $84.99, a name-brand 500 denier pack with a water repellent finish that ships as is, without embroidery, for the groomsman who wants the label more than the monogram.
One bag, different names. For a matched party, pick one style and give each groomsman his own color and his own initials. The Fast Track Rucksack comes in black, khaki, brown, and O.D. green, so five groomsmen can carry the same bag without carrying the same bag.
Initials or a full name. Initials in a neutral thread (ivory, charcoal, champagne) read cleanest on canvas and never look dated. A first name is friendlier and works well on the Kick Back Pack. Save a longer line, like a nickname or the wedding date, for a bag with a bigger flap.
A canvas day pack embroidered with his initials, a convertible backpack that turns into a duffle for the wedding weekend, a backpack cooler with his initials on it, or a drawstring rucksack with leather accents. All embroidered in the thread color you choose, and each groomsman can get a different name on the same bag.
Backpacks here run $59.99 to $84.99, which puts them at the upper end of typical groomsmen gift budgets. They earn it because they get carried for years, not stored.
The Kick Back Pack in khaki, black, or green, embroidered with each man's initials. The best value on the page and the one most grooms order in sets.
The Brew Chaser Back Pack Cooler at $69.99, or the Convertible Canvas Backpack and Fast Track Rucksack at $79.99.
The Carhartt Canvas Backpack, a name-brand work pack with a water repellent finish and a large main compartment, the one bag here that ships without embroidery.
The best man. Go one step up from the party. The Convertible Canvas Backpack with his initials is the bag he brings to every trip after this one, and it pairs with anything in Travel Bags.
Groomsmen who commute or are still in school. The Kick Back Pack carries a day of gear and looks right on a train. Add a Groomsmen Wallet and it is a full kit.
Guys who spend weekends outside. The Brew Chaser Back Pack Cooler for the tailgate and the boat, or see Hunting Groomsmen Gifts and Fishing Groomsmen Gifts for the rest of that party.
A groomsman who already has a nice bag. Then the personalization is the gift. Put his initials on the Fast Track Rucksack in a thread color that matches the wedding, and it becomes the bag he did not know he wanted.
Embroidered with his name or initials in the thread color you choose, with a different name for each groomsman if you want.

I ordered these and paid for expedite shipping. I ordered 6 of them and they all came in within 4 days and look sooooooo good! Great quality and timely order, what else could you ask for! I was scared of the timing on these being ordered and receiving them, but I had nothing to worry about.
I ordered 6 build your own groomsman boxes and once I got them and was able to look them over I am impressed. They are bigger than I expected but great quality. I would definitely recommend to any one that need to get gifts for your groosman.
I had to order some unique gifts and all I could find were cigar and alcohol related items! But GroovyGroomsman had these totally 100% quality - monogrammed and sturdy as all get out. This is a bag you can be proud of! Small enough to fit on your seat and still hold what you need for the weekend! But with confidence and pride!
Got these for my brother’s bachelor party for all the guys. They are very well made. My only thing I would say is that they are thick for golf ball markers. I would consider cutting them down about half the height of what they are. We are all big golfers and they would interfere on the greens if you use them. Just my honest opinion. But they came out great and shipping was quick! Thank you for making them!
The quality of the product is as described. The customer service is fantastic.
My husband got this for his groomsmen a few years ago but was silly and didn't get himself one. His friends all loved it and would bring it on group trips and talked about how it's their go to bag. I finally ordered him one so he could enjoy it too!! The bag holds up well and carries lots of stuff! Many of the guys pack for themselves and their wives in just that bag.
I gave these to my groomsmen and they loved it. Most said they will display in their offices as a good conversation piece!
And they got here within 3 days when I ordered 5 days before my wedding. So happy with these!
I was impressed with the delivery time, considering my order included 7 uniquely monogrammed duffel bags. Great looking product, seems quite durable and useful - served as a great groomsman gift after I had been searching for something other than stereotypical cigar containers and flasks. I consider myself a very satisfied customer!
Only problem was the bags had a strong musty/mildew odor. I had to place the bags outside for a several hours and add dryer sheets to the inside. Very disappointed in the odor. But the service, the box's and everything else was top notch!
I have seven groomsmen in my wedding next November and every single person LOVED this box! It made it so easy doing something thoughtful and easy to order when everyone is spread out. 10/10 would recommend!
This is a great canvas, Duffel. Very sturdy material and cleverly designed. It looks great...down to business looking.
When I opened the package after receiving these, I was surprised how well crafted they were. The engraving was very nice, a lot of attention to detail. The shipping was fast and easy no problems with the item at all.
We purchased these socks for myself, my groomsmen and my father as a last minute decision. The delivery was super fast and made it just in time! The socks were pretty comfortable for all day wearing and my wedding party now have a great memento of the day!
From The most amazing customer service, to picking out the best gift, to delivery, I very much was very pleased and so was my best man.
No regrets what so ever.
