Groomsmen gift ideas?

I will be getting married soon and was wondering if you all have received, given or seen badass gifts for the groom party?

 

A night in the topless bar

 

Received SOG Fusion folding pocket knife engraved with my name.

I've seen custom decks of cards, custom beer glasses. Doesn't really matter what it is as long at is significant and customized as a reminder of the wedding and male bonding

 

Having handmade knifes made for all my groomsmen. Being done by a journeyman smith, aka freakin amazing knifes. Cant wait for them to be done

 

x2 on the engraved flasks

 

Beersnap's engraved with their names for everyone maybe?

 

I also pre-filled their flasks with hard liquor

idk if you're having them buy suits or renting tuxes, but I also got them stuff to wear on that day. i.e. tie clip, matching colorful socks.

 

all I got was a pat on the back and I was best man....

I need better friends

 

Engraved Benchmade knives

 

Keep it cheap. You will need the money. Weddings have gotten way out of hand financially.

 

I got my guys a leatherman with their name. not our names for being in the wedding So they can use it every day. Also got them a kubaton key chain great until you have to goto an airport.

My wife and I decided a present is great that can be used after the wedding. Nothing worse than getting a flask or engraved glass with the names of the two married and never using it again I have a few kicking around dust collecting

 

I bought all of my groomsman a sweet Leatherman. I forget the model but they all seemed happy and they use them often.

 

I'm doing Benchmades with their initials engraved for mine this fall.

 

Both of my groomsmen smoked so I got them Zippo's engraved with there initials and some fluid. I got my dad an engraved buck knife to take hunting. Dang knife must be cursed since he hasn't gotten a deer since he lost his lucky knife and started taking the new one hunting.

 

I got a beer mug with my name on it, the names of the marrieds, and the date etched into the glass. Nice mug, I still use it on a regular basis because it holds a full pint comfortably.
Leatherman tools and vintage style shaving kits are solid choices; you can always have them engraved or monogrammed or whatever with each groomsman's initials and the wedding date or something.
Knives are a good choice too, because nearly everybody can always use another knife. However, a hunting knife doesn't work for everyone; a good-quality folding knife might be a better option if any of your groomsmen don't hunt, or if they already have a favorite hunting knife. If they're all fishing maniacs, maybe personalized fillet knifes are an option.
Flasks are questionable; depends on your groomsmen. I don't use a flask that often; mostly mine sits collecting dust. Some people use them all the time. Some people are recovering alcoholics, so a flask would probably be a less-than-great option if one of your groomsmen doesn't drink.
Same thing for personalized zippos; if none of your groomsmen smoke, odds are high that they don't carry a lighter around with them unless they enjoy spontaneously burning things
You've got the same problem with personalized money clips; if none of your groomsmen carry cash (lots of people don't anymore, even though I think it's dumb) they won't have much use for a money clip with their initials on it.
I'd say stay away from electronics, because most people swap out most of their electronic products (TV's, phones, radios, iPods, etc) every few years, so it's a temporary memento.

Oh, and congratulations.

 

Been there and the bride gave the maid of honor cheap dollar store earrings. I was like WOW.


He's also the type of guy that'll bring beer to a BBQ you invited him to and take whatever he didn't drink back home with him.


Ok back on topic. From others, I've gotten a novelty plaque with my name on it, custom engraved flasks and a bottle of whiskey.

 

I did the same thing for one of my groomsmen. I bought a Merkur DE razor with the kit also. I also bought a leatherman for another.

I did get a gift for being a groomsman that I really like. I was given a nice Swiss duffel bag. It was unexpected but I use it all the time.

 

Congrats! Of the things that I have received that I remember, was a good quality pocket knife and a personalized bottle of Marker's Mark Bourbon. I gave my best man an Invicta watch. That was easy though since he was the only groomsman I had. My wife had been married once before and it was my first marriage so we went small...thank God!!!!

 

Engraved gerber multi tools

 

I gave all of mine nice fancy leather banded Kenneth Cole watches that they all worn on my wedding day. I bought one for myself as well so we all matched.
