    Getting Married - Need Help with Groomsmen Gifts

    The title is pretty self explanatory, but im getting married in June (on the 14th) and am having difficulty coming up with ideas for my groomsmen (4, counting best man). The problem is, two of them dont drink at all and the other two do VERY rarely, so the "traditional" gifts are out. Im struggling to come up with ideas. Looking to spend up to about 100 bucks on each (and get my best man something extra too). Any ideas?

    With most of my groomsmen I bought them a replica football jersey from their favorite team. For under $100 you could probably customize the jerseys to their names. For me it worked because we were all huge football fans and were younger at the time (I got married at 23).

      Watches are always nice. For $100 a person, you could get something decent and have it engraved on the back.

        my cousin got his groomsmen a really nice version of the Leatherman multi tool knives. He also got them Xbox Live (this was back in 2003ish) so they could play together.

          Those are some good ideas. I had thought about a few of them before, but wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas. Thanks for the input (and keep them coming if you have any)

            When one of my cousins got married he gave us all DKNY wallets, his thinking was that no guy actually wanted to buy a wallet but everybody could use a new one. Hopefully this type of thinking helps you find a direction on your gifts, btw congrats...

              Congrats

              and I will agree on the watches idea. You can't go wrong with a watch. Too bad Ipods are too expensive/all over the place. I'd give those too.

              Don't they sell cards with an ipod list these days? You could buy each for them with their favourite music.

                get them all a nice comfortable couch so that when you piss off your wife and she throws you out, you'll have a nice comfortable place to sleep.

                I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                  I don't understand this: u're getting married and YOU have to buy gifts?! I thought the one who's getting married gets the gifts. Every day I notice more and more differences between our cultures. lol

                    I dont think you HAVE to buy gifts. Im getting something for my groomsmen as a thank you, same with my fiancee and her bridesmaids.

                        He already said the "traditional" gifts were out because the guys aren't heavy drinkers.

                          I got my groomsmen each a $100 gift card to Best Buy. Can't go wrong there.

                            As of now im thinking i might spend a bunch more and get them an autographed jersey of their favorite players. Its actually not too much more except for my brother (best man). These are all good ideas. Thanks.

                            Too bad it isnt as easy as the fiancees gift, just have to buy something shiny for her and im done
