Bow Ties

If the groomsmen's outfits are conservative, neckwear is a great way to inject personality and make a statement. A basic place to start is with some stripes, but try paisley or polka dots if their style is bolder.

Custom Cutting Board

What do you get the newlyweds who already have everything they need for their home? Consider gifting a Richwood Creations Custom Cutting Board from Afcra ($48) inscribed with their family name and established date. They’ll think of you every time they prep a meal, and it can even be used as a serving piece for festive gatherings. Available in maple or cherry wood, you'll want to pick up a second one for yourself.

Cupcakes

Prohibition Bakery cupcakes are bite-sized but they come with a hidden surprise: they're spiked with the finest liquor! Unlike other booze-filled treats, the flavors are distinctive without being overpowering. There are 12 different combinations that are available for shipping — we're partial to the White Russian, which is made with Kahlua, vodka, and coffee ($20 for a dozen).

Macarons

Dana's Bakery: gluten-free goodies. A former photo editor-turned-pastry chef, Dana Loia fell in love with the delicate French macaron for its whimsical beauty and distinct texture, but was surprised by the lack of variety in flavors. On a mission to revolutionize the dessert, she started Dana’s Bakery, infusing French techniques with all-American flavors for an artisanal line of macarons designed to please the palate with a comforting sense of nostalgia.
