You could also go the engraved flask route, but I bet that's been done unless you're the first of your friends to get married. That was the first groomsmen's gift out of the gate with my group. Haha.

It is a useful gift, though. Immediate benefit for the next day.

That's a pretty good idea. Each of their names in a nice flask.

yeah i thought about getting flasks but thats been done to death and flask really arent that useful... not that many times where you can sneak alcohol without being seen as an alcoholic
 
How about something personalized from thingsremembered.com? I'm thinking of doing cufflinks and something else like a desk clock. All of my friends have desk job so I think they'll appreciate the clock.

Not the cheesy stuff you get in a mall kiosk. A real English pewter flask, and no initial engraving. That adds complexity without value. Something like this is what I have in mind...

Alternatively, you could get quaich. That's the historic lugged Scottish drinking cup. Customarily, you'd offer guests a dram in quaich. For more modern use, it's a nice looking thing, and can be used to keep change in, or other small items. It's a symbol of hospitality...

I don't endorse the site above, it's just for explanation purposes. They may be a great site, but I have no idea.
 
Since all the groomsmen played world of warcraft, I got them each a 60day time card and a gift card from amazon.com
 
wtf? I have to give my groomsmen wedding gifts? Isn't it the other way around? Does a bride have to give bridesmaid gifts?
 
I got my groomsmen stag Case pocket knives.
I doubt they liked them, but I am known for always carrying a pocket knife, so it seemed to fit.

$150-200 per gift range.

Can't do the flashlight or leatherman because all my friends are city slickers that have no use for tools or superpowered flashlights.

The gifts you are showing are much much less than $150-200.

That tie is going to be unusable unless you work rodeo/circuses.

City Slicker or not. a swiss army knife with even eyebrow tweezers would be more justice.
 
man, i was a groomsman for a really good friend last summer. we didn't get shit as gift. Hell, I had to shell out $400 bucks to help him pay for the wedding.....what horse shit.
 
when i was a groomsman for my sisters wedding, i got a $5 wall bottle opener. i spent around $500 on dinner and lap dances (for the groom) for his bachelor party, $120 on the tux rental, and $150 on a gift. math didn't quite add up...

i've had good and bad experiences, but this was by far the worst.
 
Just a thought, but perhaps you could grow a pair of testicles and realize that men don't give gifts to other men.
