So, FI will never think of anything on his own. But what is your FI getting your groomsmen? We only have one. And he is.. fancy. He likes and lives an expensive lifestyle. He went all out for FI bachelor party, so I want to make sure FI gets him something nice, but we also don't have tons of money to spend on something really fancy. I need ideas!! And I know this is FI job, but if I left it up to him, it would never happen.

    My FI got all his guys flasks and is also getting them a mini bottle of their drink of preference. All his guys are drinkers (responsible ones) so it works out. He had another one in mind but when we saw it in person he didn't like it. I had seen this one and steered him towards it. He's having them engraved with their names and our wedding date. Here is the flask he is getting them:

    We got our guys personalized beer pilsner and cufflinks.  I went on etsy and found different cufflinks to match each guys personality.  One guy got Star Wars, another shotgun shells. etc

    FI got his guys knives that are engraved with their name and the wedding date.

    Here is the link if you want to see what they look like. I think they are nice, but I'm not sure what your GM's taste is.

    For our friend who is officiating : a nice bottle of whiskey, a signed collection of comics he likes, a dvd boxset of his favorite band in concert that he mentioned wanting, and a electronic fish in a tank (inside joke)

    For the best man : Star Trek cufflinks, a set of whiskey glasses he liked and a signed comic book

    FI is making wood beer cases for all his guys and then stocking them with a six of their favorite beers. I think he's going to get his best man an engraved leatherman or swiss army as well.

    Our guys are getting flasks with their initials engraved on them and leatherman multi-tools.  Definitely not the most creative but pretty darn useful.  I might pick up some airplane bottles of booze to enhance the flasks lol.

    FI got all of his guys his 2 most favorite things.
    1) Hydroflask - it really is the best waterbottle ever. It keeps things both and hot and cold for crazy long times. We took mine on vacation last year and water stayed cold in August on the beach in the sun for 12 hours. So FI felt all of his men needed to have it as well. lol

    2)a handcarved backscratcher - i personally thought it was a little silly, but FI thinks it's amazing and he thinks his friends will love it. He thinks the alex and ani bracelets i bought the girls are dumb, so i guess we are even on this one :)

    FI bought the guys really nice leather koozies from pottery barn. They are sports themed. (basketball, baseball, football) and have their names on them. They just came in and are sooo nice. We also got them each a really nice bottle of beer. Its a new Sam Adams and is larger then a regular beer bottle and the actual bottle is soo nice. He also ordered them etched beer glasses. My little addition to the gift was their argyle socks (hot pink and grey to match our colors).

    FI got his groomsmen all a nice knife. Apparently it's something all guys should have. FI is the odd one out at work because he doesn't have one haha. He also got them each a personalized item. One guy got Univ of KY air hole cover things for the tires on his car. Another one got a nice lighter with a female silhouette haha. Best man enjoys golfing so he got a KS State divot tool and ball marker set. Btw, sorry about poor spacing. I'm replying on my phone.

    FI is getting his groomsmen a grilling set called the Sportula.  They have sports teams logos laser cut out of them and have a bottle top opener on the end of the fork tool.  He'll get each of them their favorite sports team.  Thinking he'll do somethign additional for the best man, and then we also need to figure out a different gift for my dad because he doesn't grill at all.

    <div>All guys should have one ;-)  All ladies should, too!  I have two Benchmade knives and a leatherman multi-tool in my car and I LOVE them.  I have no idea where my scissors are half the time but I always know where my knives are, haha.  You should also have a small flashlight.  Okay.  Sailor rant over ;-)</div>

    Our guys got engraved knives, too. They each have a flask as well (got those on a CRAZY good clearance sale!)  Might add a little something more personal if we can think of anything and can get it in time, otherwise we're good.

    We just have a Best Man - it is FI's 17 year old son.  We got him a guitar.  I am so happy that we have a small WP, I would be going crazy trying to figure out what to get everyone!

    Yeah, we just have one best man. It was easy for the bridesmaids, technically. I got them spa gift certificates! but for BM, I have no idea... these are good ideas from everyone but I feel like BM won't like any of them. Erg. so hard!!! Who knows, maybe he'll just get a gift card to a restaurant or some crazy expensive booze lol

    How about cigars?  Those are fancy, right?  Maybe nice cigars or a cigar box (if he smokes cigars)  I am thinking of the only fancy guy I know and he likes crazy expensive wine and cigars.

    If he has expensive taste, is there a store that he likes to shop at (clothing)? Maybe a gift certificate to there. Does he have a gf? Maybe a gift to a night out, dinner and movies etc. My FI is doing tickets to a sports game for his best man but hasn't figured out what he's getting the others.

    What about a really nice bottle of scotch and some nice glasses?  One or two of our GMs sound similar to yours and I know they like scotch :)

    I have my BM gifts almost done but FI hasn't picked his GM gifts yet.  Ideas so far have included ipad mini's or a Kindle...he likes techy things!  However they likely all already have one or the other, so I am glad someone asked this question so I can get some more ideas!
