GM gifts question

Hallanole

FI has procrastinated on this. We are 3 weeks until the wedding and he Still doesn't know what to get them.

Our budget is extremely tight right now with paying off all the final things, so we are trying to find a way to get nice but affordable.

Anyway, FI is being very stubborn. He doesn't know what to give them and every idea I toss/show him he has said No to. Especially No to what TK store offers.

So I'm wondering/thinking is Sport paraphinila acceptable? I know for sure that 4/5 guys love a sport team. 

Toss me some ideas or what you guys have done or thinking of. FI and I are going to roam the stores today and see if anything jumps at us.

We shopped like it was their birthday!  Each one of them got a different gift:  a wok and a chinese cookbook, one loves Texas Longhorns so I got him a Tervis mug, another we got a few movies, and we got one a hunting knife that we're having my stepdad etch a buck on to make it a little more personal...

All of my FI GM are Fraternity Brothers, so we got them all glassware with the crest on it, they are getting a 5th of their favorite liquor and then a tie, but not one for the wedding hope that helps!

All of our GM are outdoorsy so we got them all soft sided coleman coolers (only like $9 at Menards) and then something to go with each of them to personalize it a little bit more.

We bought oversized beer mugs from the dollar store, used the cricket to cut out vinyl and etched each groomsmens initals onto the glass. We then bought a bottle of each of their favorite beers and a beer opener ring for their beers.

We went to things remembered and bought them beer mugs and flasks with their names etched on them.  We also bought them each a bottle of their favorite wine / liquor to go with the theme.

My FI has been a GM so many times. He has a ton of personalized beer mugs, pocket knives, and flasks. None of which he uses because he is a total minimalist. I think the sports team thing is a good idea. You know your friends. Get them what they will like. I totally think that they don't have to match.

We literally bought our gm gifts the DAY BEFORE THE WEDDING. So I feel the procrastination. We finally decided on a pair of Spy Sunglasses for each gm and I had already gotten them all blue and brown argyle socks to wear that day with their tuxes. They all LOVED the gifts and the socks looked great on them.

We got one of our GMs concert tickets at a small venue near his hometown.  It was a band my FI new he liked, and his wife agreed to go with him, since they are so far away. 

He got keep jerseys from china too....
