    good gifts?

    flasks is what i gave mine. and some really nice shaving kits. like a real razor and foaming brush and stuff. shaving with a real blade makes you feel like a real manly man.

    lighters are cool too.

    are you looking for whimsical stuff?
    mean people suck!
    but nice people sw****w

    Flask, lighter, or shaving kit all seem like good ideas if you're looking for something practical. Otherwise, go for the $5K hookers.

    Give them a memory instead of a gift....i.e. an experience....like concert tickets for all of you to go to a show together......

    Edit ** technically the $5K hooker is an experience too! :)

    I gave mine monogramed beer glasses. Had their name and the date etched into the glass. It was a nice gift I thought. They all seemed to like them, but then again it was most of their first times being in a wedding and didn't know that the groomsmen got gifts.

    I've been wondering what to get mine too.

    Flasks will probably be the winner, but one of my groomsmen doesn't drink, so I'm not sure if I should steer away from Flasks because of that.

    Getting them all Derby hats was another thought, because that would be bad ass.

    What's the big deal about a pocket knife? I got an engraved one once, and one of the most useful groomsman's gifts that I ever got was a leatherman tool.

    For my wedding, I gave engraved beer mugs and lighters. Not the most original, but for the price we wanted to spend, they were about the best we could find.

    I kinda like the idea of a thumb drive though... I'm sure that you can get them personalized these days, and maybe include a nice picture of a fun time together on each of them, and a note of thanks.

    I went with engravable cuff links
    initials for each on one
    date of the wedding on the other
    kinda boring, but they all still wear them today

    Dumb Idea, Your name should be Can't Get Right.

    Haha really just joking around. Every time I see your name in here it reminds me of the movie "Life", with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence. The guys name in it is Can't get right. He is goofy.

    No offence :)

    Clearly some people have never been to a wedding in Wyoming. You'll need that knife once the hill folk get to drinkin'. In fact, the knife is usually for the pre-funk, the guns are for the party!

    MY husband was in a wedding and they got silk smoking jackets (like a huge heff robe) embroidered with their initials,a bottle of decent scotch and some cigars. The guys loved it and still wear them.

    The hill folk reference is hilarious. What you get them probably depends on what you all have in common. Maybe some classy smoking pipes (tobacco or the other kind) depending on how you roll-maybe some nice cigars or nice bottle of Scotch.

    $5k on hookers would always be good too. :)

    I'm going through the same dilemma right now. I don't have any great ideas for what to give to my boys who are standing up for me. My brother got all of his groomsmen putters for his wedding. I thought that was kind of cool and useful too, as I used it for about 8 years.

    for the groomsmen of my failed marriage, i got them really nice mugs with their intials and personalized note of thanks from me engraved into them.


    but as Acoustic Guy said, i wouldnt worry about it too much. it just a formality. not to much is thought of it really.

    one wedding i was in , i recieved a really nice pen with my name engraved on it. that was cool, i stll use it.
    Peace, Love.

    Are you suggesting someone start stabbing hookers? I think that's been done to death... literally.
