Made in Monroe, Connecticut since 2013
Chris Bajda started Groovy Groomsmen Gifts in 2013, and it has been family owned in Monroe, Connecticut ever since, run as a family business alongside co-founder Melissa Bajda. He has spent more than 15 years finding and designing personalized gifts, and he still walks the NY NOW trade show in New York City every year to find what belongs in the shop next.
More than 100,000 grooms have trusted us with the gift they hand their best men and groomsmen. Every one of those pieces was personalized to order, not pulled off a shelf.
Personalization is the point
Four steps between the moment you order and the moment it lands in his hands.
His name, a date, a message, an inside joke. You type it on the product page, and it becomes the reason the gift is his alone.
Your words are placed in the exact font and layout you see on the product photos, sized and fitted to the piece you picked.
Your gift is personalized and hand-engraved to order in our Monroe, Connecticut shop. It is made when you order it, not grabbed off a shelf.
A real person looks over the finished piece before it is packed. Most orders ship in 1 to 2 days.
What we shape
Every material takes a name differently. These are four we personalize most, with a favorite example of each.
Glass
Decanters and glasses, deep-etched so his name catches the light every time he pours.

Wood
Boxes and keepsakes, engraved clean into the grain so the message lasts as long as the wood does.
See an example
Leather
Dopp kits and cases, stamped with his initials in a hide that only looks better with the years.

Canvas
Duffles and bags, monogrammed by machine embroidery, stitch by stitch, in a thread color that suits him.

Not everything makes it into the shop. What does clears the same three tests.
Personalization is the point, not an add-on. His name goes on it, not a name that would fit anyone.
No filler and no padding. Every piece has to earn its spot, or it does not make the shelf at all.
Made to be kept and looked at years from now, the kind of thoughtful gift that stays on the shelf.
