What to get for the Groomsmen??

I've found some lovely little gifts for my bridesmaids, but my fiance is stuck on what to get for the men.  I made some suggestions, but he really wants to stay away from the typical flask/stein/cigar types of gifts.  

So, what have some of you all given to the men in the wedding party?  ANY suggestions or ideas would be more than wonderful!

    My H gave his GM their favorite bottle of booze.  Other ideas:
    -gift card to their favorite restaurant
    -ties
    -cufflinks
    -what are their favorite hobbies (golf--could buy golf balls/tees, etc.)?
  • They don't have to be the same gift and I would suggest something that you would get them for their birthday.

    We got our 2 GM a BBQ set that was here on TK.

  • FI got a knife when he was a GM for his brother last summer.  While I'm not a fan of everyone getting the same thing, it fit for his guys and I think I'm safe to assume all of them use their knives.

    Just remember it's a gift for them, not a gift for your wedding.  Make it something they will genuinely use again, and not just on YOUR wedding day.  So nothing engraved, nothing with your names/date.

    Just because you saw it on Four Weddings, doesn't mean it's a good idea.
  • Thanks for the suggestions!  I'll pass them along to him to think about.

    Athletic jerseys are good for some guys...we are getting our GMs each a jersey for their favorites team/player/etc.  While they are all getting the "same" gift, the gift is personalized in the sense that it is their school/hometown/favorite player/whatever.  It's actually been a lot of fun figuring out what to get for each of them.

  • My FI got a offical football hoodie for his favor team when he was a bestman a few years ago.
