How about a few passes on a drag strip with the Z28?

I'd settle for a 1.75L bottle of Bombay Sapphire ($45).

For groomsmen gifts, I would suggest something like a wallet, money clip, or a nice pen.

How about a watch with initials engraved on the clasp?

The thing I got when I was a groomsman in my sister's wedding was a mini leatherman with my initals on it. I gotta say that I love it and have had it on my key chain for the past 6 years.

No, most people already have a good watch.

Hmmm... no.

However, we are going to this. as one of the bachelor party activity.

How about a good knife?

I think you can get some Benchmades in that price range, if not there's plenty of brands that ARE in that price range.

Local GI Joes has a limited edition carbon fiber benchmade, that is one sweet knife...

Too bad it's $180.

Something like this is reasonably priced, & will last for years

Ooops, just saw this:

Dangerous Objects
Your mother probably already told you to be careful with knives. That wisdom extends into the realm of gift giving. In China, they signify severance of the relationship. Other gifts to watch out for in China are watches and clocks. For Cantonese speakers, the word for clock is very similar to the word for death. You should also never give anyone a handkerchief, which signifies grief, or a green hat, which suggests adultery.

"or a green hat, which suggests adultery." WTF?

I got each of my groomsmen a very nice silver-plated zippo with their initials ingraved on them and each a bottle of their favorite "expensive" liquor. Gave a nice personal feel to my appreciation for them being there, and throwing me a great party. :beer:

My brother gave his groomsmen Swiss Army Knives engraved with their initials. I still haven't figured out what some of the stuff is for, lmao.

That gets my vote. Why ruin it by trying to force the same thing on everyone. Money works for everything.

this must come from one guy who, hundreds of years ago, did his friends wife and bought the friend a hat to break the news...a green hat, just by chance. or maybe the friends favorite color was green, and he thought it would make things go smoother....

instead he inadvertently gave green hats a bad name. what a tool
