GM Gift Ideas

FI and I can't seem to figure out what to get the GMs as gifts. 3 of the guys would be relatively easy but the other one is a bit more complicated. We found really nice flasks and beer mugs that we like a lot. The problem is, he got a flask for another wedding he was in last summer and he doesn't drink beer. Any ideas ladies? What did you/are you getting your GM?

I've seen some grooms give their groomsmen each a different present based on their hobby/interests.  As long as it's the same price point, I wouldn't see why this would be an issue.  My only concern may be jealousy, but also, I see it as the groom took time to pick out a gift based on that particular person's hobby/interest.  However, some feel that giving the same gift is to be fair and appropriate.

DH did different presents for each but all around the same price. Since all his GMs were graduating he got them NCState alum license plates, NCState t-shirts, and one got NCState golf stuff. HTH!

We got all of them personalized steak branding irons from http://www.tbonebrands.com except my brother (he's in college and has no use for it as he doesn't grill anything, he got an i-tunes gift card).  They were all really excited about the branding irons.

FI got all of his guys Relic watches - he found a great deal at the Fossil outlet. I had handkerchiefs monogrammed for them as a gift from me.

We did the branding irons too - the guys loved them!  But I would take into account how much grilling his groomsmen do - my DH's GMs love grilled meat haha.

I love that idea! I'll definitely look into it and see what FI thinks.

Yeah I think different gifts for each guy is a great idea. I personally love gift cards and I think most people do, too.....so that's always an option.

When FI was a groomsmen last spring he was given an NCSU football jersey.  He wears it all the time now.

I saw this over at a blog and thought it was a pretty cool idea:

Crown Royal lets you personalize the labels (for free) and the bags (for an extra $10) on their website.  That is part of the GM gifts for our wedding.  We are also doing NCSU cufflinks, as my FI was in the Grains of Time (a singing group) and all of them are singers and wear tuxes in performances. HTH!

I think we are doing personalized bottles of crown royal or some other kind of liquor....I personally really wanted to give them coach belts but FI wasn't too interested in that.
