Bizarre Groomsmen gifts
Does anyone else find the groomsmen gift ideas online and such a little ridiculous? Why are all of the gifts meant for old rich country club men? A pocket watch? A money clip? A flask? Does anyone have any ideas of things the guys will actually use? My FI has been looking for months and our wedding is in 17 days! Thanks

For our BM he went to Clemson, and he loves cuff links so we got him a pair. And my DH got him a knife that they both like. They're boys.
You dont need to get them all the same thing. Shop like its their birthday.
DX: PCOS/Recurrent losses/MTHFR mutation (compound hetero)
5 hysteroscopies/2 surgical
3 Inject IUIs = 2 m/c's and 1 BFN
IVF #1= BFP. m/c at 7w6d. Needed 2 D&C's and scar tissue removal. Mild OHSS
IVF #2 = BFP. Severe OHSS. 4 Drainings. TWINS!
It doesnt have to be expensive. If they are sports fans what about a team sweatshirt or t-shirt?
You dont have to do a round of golf, you could just do golf balls and tee's. Insead of concert tickets, maybe get them their favorite bands newest cd or dvd of their concert? A bottle of their favorite booze?
Crown Royal and Jack Daniels will send you personalized labels for their bottles on their website for free. They can engrave the bottles for you too for a price.

Eh I guess it depends on who it is and your style. I love flasks, pocket watches and money clips. All of the guys in our wedding party would use these sorts of things. We're actually giving our groomsmen leather flasks with their names engraved on the silver part. There's a back compartment that holds cigars, cigarettes, money, credit cards, etc.
ETA: We're also giving each groomsman a bottle of their fav alcohol and personalized golf tees. Basically they all drink and golf lol.

He didn't want anything that had our wedding date on it either, no one wants something engraved with our wedding date...
