    Our wedding is 5 weeks away and almost everything is taken care of EXCEPT the GROOMSMEN gifts!!!

     Our groomsmen are all young (ages from 16-28), unmarried, and don't drink alcohol. None of them are the "business type" and none really play golf...

     The only groomsmen gifts I can find are like bar stuff, business man stuff, and golf stuff.

     Please shoot me some ideas on relatively inexpensive ($25-50 per person) gifts that are creative (not run of the mill money clips and pocket knives!)

     THANKS! :)

    I agree with the gift certificate.. you can make a "guy night out" basket. get gift certicates for a manly restaurant and maybe bowling or something, throw in some other goodies candy, chips, gourmet sodas, whatever. I love cost plus world market for gift basket type stuff, its all gourmet and kinda weird.

    We are trying to get ideas for this as well.  I actually just posted an alchemy on etsy.com because we are thinking of doing black skinny ties with each groomsmen's initial embroidered on the bottom.  OR were also thinking of doing a nice swiss army aluminum water bottle or engraved pocket knife or bottle opener.

    We did nice stationery notecards w/ their names engraved......not the most exciting gift, but it is kind of nice to have around, for any guy older than 15.

    I got my GM's these glasses:

    Exclusively Weddings Mugs  

    And this bottle opener - they are so cool and everyone that comes by asks about them, they just pop the top open with a puch and can be used for soda...

    Bottle Opener 

    We're just doing the plain, but as you ca see they have several options.

    Then we are getting them a 6 pack of their favorite beer, or for the underage ones, a 6 pack of their favorite pop - more then likely Jones Soda :-)

    You can make this work for any age.

    Hi there! I found this website! We are going with something non-traditional. We don't drink so we didn't want to do the traditional flasks. Try this website: <font size="2" color="#81a026">http://groomspal.1freecart.com/</font>

It is geared towards Minnesota groomsmen, but still applicable.  Our number 1 was an iPod Shuffle.  Everyone has an iPod, but this is relatively inexpense, engravable and nice to use for working out.  You can check out the other 9 at twincitiesreceptions.com.
