I'm getting married in 2 weeks from today and still haven't been able to come up with a good idea for gifts to get my groosmen. I have 7 of them and my price is roughly $50 although that could be increased for the right idea.

What have you got your groosmen as presents? Any thoughts for me?

Thanks!

I got a Beer Mug from "Things Engraved" with my name on it. I loved it :)

Think it cost my friend like 25-30 bucks each. I'd say it's a good gift.

Flasks engraved with their names.

Or matching watches. Altho $50 won't get you much here...

Groomsmen Presents != Groomsmens presents, or even better is Presents for Groomsmens?

I suggest getting them some books.

Thanks for the suggestions.

One of my groomsmen doesn't drink, so I don't know what he'd do with a mug or flask. I guess he could put pop or whatever in a mug.

engraved money clips.

order a bunch of ebay, and engrave the shi out of them.

That could work as well.

Thanks for the ideas. Others are welcome as well.

How bout some champagne, or better yet a swag bagg with some trinkets + a pair of custom cuff links floating in champagne + some giftcards.

Since one of your groomsmen doesn't drink (and apparently, people here can't read *L*)

Get 'em all a gift card to a restaurant or to the movies (this way, they can take the brides maids out after the wedding *L*)

Perhaps, a video came? Maybe a nice pen set with their initials / names?
Pay for their tux rentals? Oh ... since it's up again, a $50 Gas card ;)

Once I got one of those swiss army cards which was pretty cool. Another neat gift I got was a magazine subscription. The bride and groom picked a magazine that each member of their party would want and gave the latest edition in a gift bag and explained that the rest would follow. Men's Health and Sports Illustrated would be appreciated by many.

Yikes, 7 groomsmen? That's quite a wedding party. I thought my 4 was a lot.

I got a leatherman with my name engraved on it, I thought that was sweet.

If you're talking about the credit card sized thing that includes a pen, toothpick, file, scissors, and a very fine(best part) pair of tweezers, the I AGREE, great gift!

I got one at a wedding, and initially thought it was mediocre, it's become my favourite gift, and those mugs aren't very useful, got em and never use em.

Im going with different gifts for each one. I think its more personal that way.

I wont go into details just in case one of my friends is on this site unknown to me. But, go with hobbies. Find out what they like and get something for that. If they like poker, get some personalized cards (cost is like $20). If they like to drink, an engraved flask. If they like ...

If you do it right, those gifts will be loved very much.

This is the exact same thing I got my groomsmen. 3 big engraved beer mugs. They seemed to like them.

You don't have to drink to enjoy a big mug.

It seems like personalized in some way is the way to go, no just generic gifts. Thanks again for the ideas!

My husband gave out pocket watches. A bit old fashioned but unique.

I'm going to be a groomsmen for my buddy in September. I hope I get an engraved Flask. Now I just have to use the power of suggestion

One gift that I've seen is a nice leather walet with $50-$100 cash in it.
