    My husband has gotten an engraved flask and a Giants jersey.  The flask hasn't been taken out of its box since the rehearsal dinner (years ago).  I think he wore the jersey once or twice, but it hasn't gotten much use either.  But the right guy would probably get a lot of use out of that.

    We gave most of our groomsmen Tiffany's cufflinks.  One groomsman alraedy had a ton of cufflinks so we gave him an Hermes tie instead.  I know he loved that (but he wears suits to work every day, and is a total tie snob).  I don't think the other guys had nice cufflinks before our wedding, so now they do?  They all wore them to our wedding.  But so much depends on your guys.  My husband would like the hockey tickets that goaliegirl mentioned, but he loves hockey.  He also would love nice cufflinks or a nice tie, but he loves and is a snob about both of those things.  But of course not every guy would like those.  At the very least, I'd probably stay away from things that people don't need more than one of -- like money clips or flasks.  A lot of guys have received those at some point in the past so they'll probably go to waste.

    My FI got flasks for his guys but more as a keepsake. . .we also got them chairs that are also coolers because most of them are tailgator types or beach people etc. so itll come in handy. They were a little lower to the ground that we thought as you can see by measurements but really easy to carry and very useful.

    MH got the guys all tickets to a hockey game since they are all big hockey fans, and they had a guys night out after the wedding.   All of the guys loved it!!  He also got them each some of their favorite liquor/beer for the rehearsal dinner.

    DH got his guys a baseball hat with their favorite team. And also a moneyclip from JCrew.   The hats were a total hit everyone has been wearing them and I know once baseball season comes along they will be used all the time.

    I have been in a ton of weddings, and sadly, although some of the gifts I have gotten are cool, they sit in a drawer for most of the time.  If I get another flask......lol

    I got my guys a 100 GC to omaha steaks and delivered it in a monogramed money clip leather wallet.  The wallet may not get much use, but I know they all used the GC and really liked it.

    If you are going with pocket knifes, check out spyderco.  They make SS engravables and these are real every day carry knives.  The swiss army one is too thick to fit in your pocket for every day.

    Another option is to get eaach person a different gift and personalize it to their interests.  Money clip, watch, cigars, gc's, maybe sports tickets,etc.

    Thanks for all the suggestions!  We are defiinitely going to have to do different gifts for each since they all like or already have different things.  After reading these i think i can help FI come up with a great gift for each. Thanks!!
