By Choice Bonus Dad Personalized Whiskey Decanter
$49.99$59.99
Free Personalization — Crafted by hand in Monroe, CT
For the dad who didn't have to, and chose your family anyway.
- A family crest with a rooted oak tree and the words BY CHOICE
- BONUS DAD under the crest, or whatever the kids call him, with the year he joined the family
- An optional note from the kids on the back
- 26 oz glass whiskey decanter with a glass stopper, frosted laser engraving made to last
A stepdad often goes without the big moment. He just keeps showing up: the school pickups, the late nights, the games he drove to without being asked. This decanter says what the kids have been meaning to tell him.
The front reads like an old family crest. An oak tree with its roots spread wide, a ribbon that reads BY CHOICE, then BONUS DAD in bold capitals and the year he became part of the family. It looks proud, never like a gag gift, so he can set it on the bar and tell anyone who asks exactly who it came from.
Turn it around for the part that gets him. Add a short note from the kids and we engrave it on the back, word for word.
Stuck on what to write? A few notes to start from:
- You didn't have to. You chose us anyway.
- Not by blood. By choice. Every single day.
- Thank you for loving us like your own.
- You showed up when you didn't have to. We noticed.
- Family isn't who you start with. It's who stays.
How to Personalize
- What do the kids call him? Optional, up to 12 characters, engraved in capitals under the crest. Leave it blank and we engrave BONUS DAD. Ideas: STEPDAD, POPS or his first name.
- Year He Joined the Family: optional, engraved as EST. 2015 under the name. Leave it blank to skip it.
- Back Message: optional, up to 120 characters, engraved on the back exactly as you type it. Leave it blank and the back stays clear.
The crest and the words BY CHOICE come on every decanter. Our team laser engraves every decanter in Monroe, Connecticut.

Charming Charcuterie!
The monogrammed charcuterie board that I ordered from Groovy Gifts surpassed my expectations! The board, marble insets, porcelain bowls, wooden spoons, and cheese knives were all high quality materials. The well-written monogram added the perfect touch for this housewarming gift. This beautiful charcuterie board will now be my new "go-to" gift!

Duffle bag
The duffel bag I picked out for my husband’s anniversary surprise getaway weekend was absolutely perfect—not just in size, but in style and substance. Rugged yet refined, it felt tailor-made for him. The craftsmanship was impressive: sturdy, well-built, and resilient enough to handle travel wear and tear with ease. Plus, the embroidered initials added a classy, personal touch that made the whole gift feel extra special.

Personalized full size bat
This company showed excellent customer service! I ordered the personalized full size bat for our two baseball seniors around 3:00am and by 6:00pm that same day I had received an email saying that the bats were sent out for shipping! I was amazed at the quick turn around! The bats arrived about a day and a half later and they were perfect! Beautiful engraving! Very impressive! I have already recommended this company to other baseball senior parents! Great job!

Highly Recommend Groovy Guy Gifts!
I ordered the personalized wooden watch for a coworker's retirement along with a personalized docking station. They were shipped to my front door in less than 48 hours, well made, flawless personalization, and an excellent value to boot. What is this world coming too? Hopefully, something more like Groovy Guy Gifts I say! Thanks very much, I'll be back.
