Since my FI is not going to ask anyone for their suggestions I figured that I would ask for him...What is your FI giving as a groomsnam gift? We are trying to find something a little differnt...not your typical engraved beer mug (he has a bunch of them and he doesn't even drink :( )

    My husband got his groomsmen personalized Louisville Slugger bats. I saw someone on a wedding blog talking about them and I thought it was a unique and creative idea. He got all of them to write their signature on something, and then he sent the signatures to the factory. So each of the bats has their own signature on it. I'm not sure if it would be something a guy would like if he wasn't much into sports, but it seems like all of his guys thought they were awesome.

    We went to Macy's and picked out a cologne set for each of the six groomsmen. Everyone got a different one, and we included a gift receipt in case they already had it. The set's were anywhere from $60-$75 each. They were well received!

    my fiance got each of the guys personalized t-shirts from the favorite baseball team from mlb.com.  the best man (his father) is getting a personalized NFL jersey.  they actually turned out awesome!  i think the guys will love them!

    the best GM gift i've seen was personalized wooden tavern signs.  each guy got a different one and they all were really cute!  our's says "good times, good friends...FH's tavern"  but we have the same problem as you...my fiancee and three of his groomsmen were in that wedding, and one of the groomsmen was the groom in that wedding!

    My DH gave his groomsmen engraved cufflinks. We gave them out at the rehearsal dinner so they were able to wear them for the wedding. They LOVED them.

    And the whole time, my future husband was in the room...... image image
