Is anyone else having problems finding a cool gift for the groomsmen? I got my girls awesome pink Coach purses (the big ones!) and now I'm searching for guys gifts and...none of them are cuff links/cigar kind of guys. I think the flask/beer mug is kind of boring but my fiance thinks they'd be ok with it. I just don't want them to think it's lame! What is everyone else doing?!
I'm pretty sure my FI is just getting them a big bottle of their favorite liquor... FI and his groomsmen are all bar guys so it's fitting.
FI is buys all his gm all white Nike Jordans...which they will be wearing on the wedding day!
Poke around here - there are several threads with some interesting ideas!
G'luck!
My DH did a track bag filled with nike running shorts, under armour long sleeved gear, athletic socks, etc - and they went nuts!! Granted they're all athletes, but RIGHT after the rehearsal they all changed into it. lol - it was cute.
We gave our guys beer mugs with their monogram on it and they loved it! They also got a small bottle or 6 pack of their favorite alcohol to put in it. Apparently guys really are that simple!
@MsYellowJacket: lol I love the athelte idea! None of ours are, but that's really cool!
@Ms Hedgehog: it truly does amaze me that guys are that simple, but after reading a few different things on this I am starting to actually believe it! I honestly think our guys would love that idea....in Wisconsin you can't beat a beer glass and liquor!!!
@andilene: "I got my girls awesome pink Coach purses (the big ones!)"
Holy cow! Can I be your bridesmaid? hehe
We're going with monogrammed shot glasses as well as monogrammed key chains that are also mini digital photo frames. Things Remembered has been my go to spot for gifts lately.
We got our guys Coach wallets and they all loved them (we got the girls Coach wristlets)
What about luxury shaving kits? Like the kind with a real boars brush. I've read that they are amazing for a close shave, and almost all men shave :)
were getting them nikeid sneakers, they are the ones you can customize
My brother gave all of his groomsmen machetes...every time I see one of them (we're all great friends) they still bring it up and how much they liked it...even years later
My husband got his groomsmen Swiss army knives. I was not around when they were presented, but he said they liked them a lot.
Oh, and my brother was my "man of honor" and I got him portable speakers for his iPod, which he seemed to like.
Hmm, I was in a wedding where the guys got pocket-watches and us girls got bracelets.
We got ours neat looking flasks, a bottle of their favorite alcohol and a tuxedo tshirt to wear for the reception and they were all happy. I don't think guys really think that much about this kind of stuff.
DH got the straight razor shaves on the day of the wedding and nice silk ties that they wore for the wedding.
We got them coolers that are also chairs monorgamed with their name/nickname. They were pretty cool.
ETA: They were also already stocked with beer:)
My husband gave Leathermens with their names on them. Everyone loved the Leatherman, but when they saw their names, they all flipped.
We got ours each a Gerber tool...which is kind of like a swiss army knife I suppose? Or a Leatherman, but with rubber on the edges to make holding it more comfortable. My late husband ordered them online, and then took them to a local trophy shop to have them engraved. We gave them to our Dad's too. 7.5 years later, everyone still uses them ALL the time! I actually carry my husband's around with me, and use it at least once a week for something!
How about a nice watch for each of them? That's what my younger bro is doing for his groomsmen!
I want to get my bridesmaids either a spa day certificate, or I might just raid Sephora and give them all a gift bag of that stuff, plus something personalized to keep. When I tried to help my FI pick stuff out, I came up with the idea of him buying each of them something they would like, instead of getting them all the same thing, just roughly the same price. He already got a Guess watch from a wedding he went to and a flask from another...so those ideas are both out. I think it would be neat and personal to get each one something they enjoy.
We're doing tickets to a Chicago Bulls game. Sports tickets are pretty hot, so I think they'd enjoy it!
We were the first ones to get married in our tight group that used all the guys as groomsmen, and they requested flasks with their names on it :). If that hadn't happened, I wanted to get them maybe a miniature bar set that had a martini shaker and some glasses or something. But no, haha, they wanted flasks :).
This is what we got our guys. They loved them!
I forgot, we also purchased their ties and pants...all they needed was a white button down shirt to go with it.
the last wedding I went too, I was there for when the groomsmen got their gifts and they got a hockey stick and a 40 oz of booze. I forget what kind it was.
They seemed happy with it!
I had the hardest time coming up with gifts for the guys and DH was absolutely NO help. A week before our wedding when we still hadn’t gotten them anything we ended up just doing monogrammed glass beer mugs (with just their initials), a 40 oz. specialty beer to fit their individual tastes and a $50 gift card to Best Buy. They liked it, though I think they would have liked just about anything. My IL's also bought all of the guys ties so we gave them those as well.
@Miss.E: We were going to do the Nike ID sneaks for our guys but they ended up not having DH’s size in the ONLY pair that we actually liked. I even called the company and offered to pay extra to have it made but they wouldn’t budge. Every single other pair that they sold came in his size except for the one sneaker that we wanted. I’m still trying to figure out how that makes any sense. It's an awesome gift though. I'm sure your guys will LOVE 'em!
My DH got our groomsmen XBox gaming credits & ITunes cards! A little different, but I think it was appreciated and definitely used (a bunch of gamers and music lovers, so...ok, we KNOW they were used!!).
Yeah I'm in this boat. They've already received beer related items from our first friends who got married in thier tight knit group. So flasks, and mugs are out. I thouhgt of shaving kits with the nice brush, but FI goes what do you think- we're like 40 or something. Well you are 25.... Still thinking still thinking. Like the idea of maybe sporting event tickets.
@mrs_pugetsound: DH's groomsmen are gamers too, lol. He got them Future Shop gift cards...
...and these candies:
...and made his own Mario question block boxes to put the gifts in! LOL
ETA: Oh and we bought their ties too.
Here are some neat flasks for a great price.

@linguo42: Super cute!!! LOL I bought DH a candy tin shaped like the "one up" mushroom for a stocking stuffer this year! Love that little star guy!!
@mrs_pugetsound: DH got that mushroom in his stocking too! The candies inside were totally gross.
@mrs_pugetsound: @UpstateCait: Hehehe nice. We collect those little tins and containers. We have both mushrooms, the star, the Bob-Omb, the question block, the old school NES controller and the Wiimote. The candies themselves are hit and miss, but the star ones were really yummy!
@linguo42: Where do you find them? DH loved it so it would be nice to get a few more for next years stocking. I found the mushroom at Best Buy.
we got our fellahs Swedish Fire Steel---pretty cool stuff. I found it (and LOADS of other cool stuff) at thinkgeek.com
