Groosmen gift ideas

[alfbacca]

I'm getting married in 9 weeks and need some ideas on groomsmen gifts. I know the guys don't want flasks or cufflinks so that's out.

Some ideas I had:

-Beer of the month club: anyone ever tried one of these? Are some better than others?
-Personalized Beer Steins
-Personalized pocket knives

Any more ideas?

Beer Steins and knives would be cool. I did engraved money clips, and we all still carry them.

Personalized cigar cases could be.

And congratulations!

Engraved flasks are good too.

Moro, I thought you paid attention.....(see his post on what they don't want)

I like the money clip idea

I received a very nice bucknife from 1 of my best buds whos wedding I was in. Its a rugged type. The blade was engraved with the date of the wedding. It was a great gift cause I use at work on my truckmans belt and it may one day say my life!

Good point; sorry and edited out.

A buddy of mine did pocket knives, and another has done the money clips. Most of the guys are still using both.

I did the flask and zippo engraved combo. I know u said no flask...but the zippo came in useful I would do the beer of the month...I would be pumped to get that!

I got married in November and I did a CRKT Guppie multi-tool, and a Palio silver cutter. I had to get them something cigar related and I know the multi-tools were a hit. My original idea was to get a small travel humidor and a Palio cutter then throw in some cigars from my collection.

I'm sure beer of the month club would be sweet.

I was thinking of doing the beer club with something like this:

Has anyone had experience with a beer club?

I still like the knife idea mostly because it's an excuse to buy some more knives for myself, which is another slope in and of itself. I doubt that my groomsmen will find any use for knives as they already wonder why I even have any, lol.

Do they all smoke cigars/drink beer? I don't know what CRKT is but it reminded me that a Leatherman-type tool would be nice (personalized if possible). Also good would be a (faux)leather-covered clipboard or similar for desk-types.

if you want to go the knife route, I will recomend these guys:

I gave personalized pocket knives to all the men in my family for christmas one year. The knives turned out great and the customer service was top knotch!

We definitely all drink, especially beer. But I'm the only one who smokes and likes knives. CRKT stands for Columbia River knives and tools, and they have some good products. A multi-tool is a good idea and I know they'd use it.

I did the knife thing... They all seemed to like it.

Id probably just get them stuff they didnt want so they might accidentally leave it there like cigars or something! But hey not everyone can be as classy as me!

Was looking through clubs and stumbled upon this one:

I think I might have to sign up my best man for this one, he's a total bacon fiend.

 

[Moro]

That looks like one of the best things to get!!! Off to see the rest of the site, now.

 

[Penzip]

So many good ideas here. The thing is you know your guys better than anyone here. So take one of the ideas and run with it. I'am sure they will like it. I think something that they can use a long time is really nice.
