What did you all get for your parents and groomsmen...i'm struggling here

H got his groomsmen engraved sterling silver cufflinks with their monogram (all of them are professionals, or soon to be professionals), and our parents each got a gift certificate to a restaurant they really like (my parents got one in OH, his parents got one in NYC because they volunteered to watch our apartment for two weeks while we were on our hm) and we're also paying for their parents albums.

For both mom's and dad's we got them custom embroidered hankies, a card, and they will get a DVD from our wedding video (no one knows we are having a videographer until the day of the wedding so it will be a surprise to all of them) when its done.  We only have to gm's so for my brother we got him a monogrammed steak brander w/ his last initial (he LOVES using his grill) and our bm is getting a cooler chair w/ his initials on it that holds something like 24 cans and has room for extra stuff plus he can sit on it.  HTH!

I think we are giving our groomsmen (we only have 2) their shoes as gifts. They are going to be wearing Vans Old Skool's so we thought that it would be nice as a gift since they both wear them on a day-to-day basis anyway. For our parents, we are giving them a glass curved picture frame from Sterling Cut Glass with our invite engraved on it and then put a pic of him and his parents in one and me and my mom in another.

We're getting our parents an album with our pro pics.For GM, we went down to Party Source and got them each their top rated cigar, a humidor bag, and a cigar guillotine.  The cigars were about $18 each, so with everything, we spent about $25.  FI is also treating them all to a round of golf while the girls and I are getting our manis/pedis.

I got my father an embroidered Irish linen handkerchief (my dad carries a handkerchief every day, so it's something he might actually use), and I think I'm getting my mom gold love knot earrings.We aren't having any attendants so luckily I didn't have to worry about gifts!

Personalized pilsners and beer for GM. Parents are getting large gallery wrap from photographer with whatever picture that they choose from the wedding.

For the groomsmen I'm not sure yet (that's the groom's job and he's a procrastinator!).For the parents, we're framing our fav engagement pic and giving that to them.For the bridesmaids, I got them each a Pandora bracelet with a charm that reminded me of them.

The groomsmen, got knives and the usher is getting a visa gift card (he is the hardest to shop for)  Parents haven't yet nailed this down.  I got our mother handkercheifs but we are stumped on what to get the dads.  I was think a giftcert to their favorite restraunt and then I thought that I would get my dad a bunch of his favorite cigars to share with the men in the family.  But I like the framed engagemnt picture idea, neither parent has one yet.

My parents go on a golf trip every year to Myrtle beach so I bought them a round of golf at the nicest golf course in myrtle beach. Kev's parents do home improvement all the time so we bought them a gift card to Home Depot. My aunt makes jewelry and made my bridesmaids pearl necklaces and earrings. I also paid for their hair and food day of. The groomsmen were a little different. We had them purchase suits for the wedding and so we paid a portion of the suit cost. My husband is an officer in the air force and two of the groomsmen wore their air force attire so we bought them engraved beer mugs with their initials on it from sterling cut glass. We also made our parents a wedding album from snapfish after we got our pics back.
