I only had two guys, so my gifts are a little higher priced, but I bought one surfing lessons, the other one I gave a 27" TV plus entertainment center.

Depends. If I was a groomsman, I would love a flask. But not everyone drinks. Gift certificates to some place are nice but not real personal. Who cares, I doubt they would be offended though.

As a groomsman, I received a silver money clip engraved with my initials and the date of the wedding. I've used it the past 4 years.

To be honest, I can't remember what gifts I gave my groomsmen.

Lets see... my wedding is next week and this is what I got my groomsmen. At first I was going to get them all money clips except for the youngest but the store didn't have any more of the money clips available by the time of our wedding.

Best Man (33 yo) - Personalized Business card case
Groomsman ( 31 yo) - Personalized Flask
Groomsman (34 yo) - Personalized Business card case
Groomsman (35 yo) - Personalized Buisness card case
Groomsman (13 yo) - Dog Tags (dont ask he always wanted some)

I gave my groomsmen each a set of poker chips and 2 decks of KEM cards. Much more useful/practical than a flask or money clip...if they're into poker.

I did engraved cufflinks from Bluenile, they were what I wanted to spend and pretty nice...I have heard of others doing money clips and flasks and giving the best man something really nice like an expensive watch..cigar cases sound good also but cases of cigars can get expensive.

Good luck

Damn nice gift for your best man...

I did different gifts for each of mine:

Best Man: Watch + Cufflinks from Kenneth Cole (~$200)
Groomsman 1: $150 GC to Thomas Pink
Groomsman 2: 2003 Schrader Beckstoffer To-Kalon RBS ($150 Cabernet)

You can do identical gifts for everyone, but I preferred to make each one personal, so each one of my guys got something they really wanted.

I gave my three groomsmen photographs I had taken that had special meaning to each, blown up and framed.

We gave the groomsmen a giftcard to a store they would enjoy rolled up in a pair of nice black socks to wear the day of. If a guy has been in a couple of weddings he has already gotten the flask/mug/pocketwatch crap that ends up in a dresser drawer.
