Gifts for the Boys

I picked out earrings and necklaces for my girls and I am going to treat them to manis and pedis.  I got my dad some really cute Father of the Bride cufflinks.  But we have no idea about John's dad or his groomsman.   What did you give the boys?

TIA

    Our groomsmen are computer guys, so we're thinking of  engraved flashdrive keychains. I found some nice looking ones at Things Remembered. They are only 1gb, which I am told would be unimpressive to these guys, but they are the nicest I've seen yet.

    I got the dads embroidered silk pocket squares (can also be used as handkerchiefs).

    We paid for the guys' tuxedos.  Ben didn't want to mess with gifts so that was easier.

    Justin took his guys to the Ranger's game.  He got good seats with the "all you can eat" pass.  They had a great time.  We got each set of parents a card and let them know they could chose either a framed photo or album from the wedding pictures.  They all chose the album.

    We used Men's Wearhouse.  We used the one in Plano.  I think the tuxes were around $150 each when it was all said and done--they were the Calvin Klein ones.  Single-breasted with 2 buttons.

    David had 2 groomsmen and he gave them both GPS units.  They were both late to the rehearsal because they got lost, so obviously we should've given the gifts to them earlier Smile  When he first told me he wanted to get them GPS units, I told him no at first because I was afraid of how much it would cost, but he ended up getting them at Christmas last year, and he got a great deal on Amazon. 

    For the ushers (his brothers), we paid for the clothes that they were wearing since we were particular about the color and style.  We wanted them in gray dress pants with a blue button-up shirt and a gray and blue sweater over the button-up.  We got those from Express. 

    For all of the parents, we got them miniature versions of our wedding albums.

    We did embroidered handkerchiefs w/ their initials [that they wore in their tux pockets instead of flowers], engraved pilsner glasses w/ their initials [these were a big hit] and a nice cigar [they all went outside at the reception, toasted and smoke their cigars together].
