GROOMSMEN GIFT

I was wondering what is your fiancé getting his groomsmen as gifts?

I’m all set on my bridesmaids gifts but fiancé just doesn’t know what to get them.  He doesn’t want to do a watch or pocket watch because one of the groomsmen thinks watches are stupid because everyone has a cell phone.   He doesn’t want to get them any drinking memorabilia because they are in late 20s and early to mid thirties.  They are too old for that.  Only one groomsmen is into cigars and he has everything under the sun for cigars.  Only one groomsmen is into sports (my sister’s boyfriend) and he has everything according to her for sports.  I told him to shop like it was their birthday like they always say on the knot for bridesmaids and well even though these guys are older …he said that they would want some kind of toys since they are kids are heart.  I just think it would be weird giving grown men one of those “adult” Lego kits (like star wars, etc) or a transformer toy. 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?

    FI's brother was in a wedding a few years ago and the guys all got a baseball autographed by either their fav player or someone on their fav team. I know he really liked that and is looking to do something similar for our guys.

    My FI is giving them the shirt and tie to wear in the wedding (they are wearing their own black suits). He will not be dissuaded from this and they are his friends so he can buy what he wants.

    I had a friend receive really nice decanters that he liked. You could also buy a bottle of top shelf liquor of their favorite liquor of choice- sometimes if you look around they come in gift packages.

    DH gave everyone hand-held digital recorders.  All of the guys are either into music (and go to lots of concerts) or have kids...they all seemed to appreciate them

    FI got the guys leather wallets. We went to Colombia last month and leather is cheap so we got the wedding date branded on the inside. Money clips are nice too! Things remembered?

    Couldn't your FI set a certain price point and buy each GM a personalized gift? There's no rule that all the gifts have to be matching.
