I strongly believe in giving "experiences". That way, they are left with the memory of doing something, be it familiar or new rather than someTHING that could end up collecting dust.

Depending on how much you want to spend, you could take them to a favorite team sporting event, or give golf lessons for those who golf, perhaps if any of them enjoy cooking or food, treat them to a cooking lesson, wine or beer tasting. Or, if you have music lovers, give them tickets to a local concert.

When you are presenting the gifts, write them a heart-felt (yet manly 😉 ) note and explain to them what you are giving.

Depending on their personalities, and what they enjoy, it could work very well.

this was my suggestion, although i only have 2 words for it:

party night

strippers are optional

thanks for the suggestions guys, i'm definitely going to consider some of them.

i do like that idea mikey, a nice pair of black socks along with something else maybe.

no one likes getting socks...and a gift card seems tacky IMO

also, you don't have to get everyone the same thing...if they guys have different tastes/hobbies, why not change it up and make everyone happy

get them cards that say "From one friend..." on teh front and "...to another" on the inside like the one Pacino got in Donnie Brasco.

except before you give it to them take out the cash and yell "f&*^@&*" and throw it in the ocean.

Yeah, I was blown away. My friend shoots sporting clays and took me once or twice, where I rented a gun. We had a lot of fun doing it, so he bought me my own gun so that we can do it more in the future. Definitely thoughtful and waaaaaaay more than I ever expected to receive.

i got cufflinks which i still use. i also got a swiss army knife/usb drive that i only stopped using since the size became small by today's standards.

i've given cufflinks, belt buckles, money clips, flasks.

Been married 4 times?

I've received three - two of which I found practical and still use:

1: Custom swiss-army knife with engraving in it
2: Custom beer stein with engraving
3: Custom wallet/money clip

#2, still use mine after about 7 years.

Without knowing anything about your groomsmen how can we tell you.

I'd think a small knife/multitool would be great or a decent memory stick possibly engraved.

Much better than another flask, mug, lighter, etc.

The danger in a money clip and the like is often while nice it's beneath the means of the person it's given too or to personalized and not often used.

My brother-in-law loves grilling, so I got him one of these: personalized steak brand. Could work for you if you have another carnivore in your gang. I also got cufflinks from here that went over very well.

I received a GC, much better than more trinkets to put in my drawer IMO.
