    We have 12 guys, yes 12- Fi is Mr. Popular or something.

    We're gonna get engraved pilsner glasses for the men who do drink. But we have 5 guys who are not drinkers, 4 of them are straightedge (no alcohol, drugs or promiscuous sex). I have nooo idea what to get these guys! All they are really into is super funny and innapropriate things (I'm thinking coffee mug with a fat naked woman on it) or music-related things. Lighters, flasks, beer mugs, cigar holders are all out.

    Wallets are too expensive, keychains are boring.....

    I'd like to steer clear of the funny and inappropriate things unless we can't come up with anything else. Any ideas? We have a budget of $15 since we have so many GM's!

    We're getting them custom Chuck Taylors and sunglasses.

    Edit: I just noticed the $15 budget. Hm. Maybe like a Nalgene-ish bottle? Or is that dumb? Blah. I'm no good with boy gifts.

    So, I found these:

    I think we're probably going to lean towards innapropriate because it's funny. And I hate they stereotyped gifts (cuff links, wallet, knifes, etc) that aren't very interesting.

    1.) http://www.etsy.com/listing/44773227/2-mustache-pint-glasses?ref=sr_list_4&ga_search_query=mustache+beer&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=&includes%5B0%5D=tags&includes%5B1%5D=title

    2.) This is sort of vulgar, but some of our guys will love it: http://www.etsy.com/listing/44791591/seed-cloth---mature---functional-tidy-cl?ref=cat2_list_21

    ETSY has got the best idea's.

    What are his hobbies and interests? Get something nonwedding related that he can enjoy after the wedding is over. Is he into sports, videogames, outdoors, grilling, music/movies, etc? Get him something that is related to his interests. Nondrinkers have tons of interests.

    We are going with grill sets. Depending on what style you go with this could totally be within your budget. I am not sure if your non drinkers like to grill out but it was the only thing we could think of since my FI and many of his groomsmen have all been in weddings together and already received the typical gifts...

    I love love love the glasses with mustaches and think they go great because of the pilsner glasses for the other guys.
