My husband gave all of our groomsmen "fossil" watches. They all loved them and I have seen them all wearing them since the wedding. Hope this helps....just think of something you would like to recieve as a gift if you were a grooms man. My husband also got the same watch and it was sort of like a bond that the four of them will always have! Best of luck!

my FH got his groosmen cuff links and pocket flasks. the cuff links are engraved with the groomsmen initials, as well as the flasks.

another thing...you have the easy part....you have groomsmen....not so emotionally attached to the "perfect" gift ;)

We are getting our groomsmen "Executaires" which are these little traveling bars. They come with two or three flasks, a shaker, two martini glasses, and two little jars for things like olives or cherries. Most of them travel a great deal so they will be useful (and bringing your own is WAY cheaper than the hotel mini bar). For our BM we are also tossing in something like a restaurant gift certificate sine he is doing so much extra for us.

Sean has been in most of his friends weddings so he has quite an assortment from a hip flask, cuff inks, beer stien, traveling humidor with cigars. Anything goes these days. You don't even have to get them the same thing, get them each something you know they will like.

My brother got most of his groomsmen engraved flasks with the UVA (University of Virginia) emblem on them. One of his groomsmen already had a flask, so he got an engraved money clip. Then for his best man, who happened to be our dad, he got him season tickets to UVA football. You should definitely do something different and a little extra for your best man.

All ideas already posted are great! You should definetly consider their personallity when selecting a gift and it would be really great if the gift could co-ordinate around the bond you share like:
golf: golf balls (they have them for groom, best man & groomsman, divet tool, hand towel
faternity: sweatshirt, tshirt, watch
career: day planner, watch, business card holder

add personalization for that extra special touch!

The spending limit is really what fits into your budget. I have been in weddings where I have recieve a $15 thank you gift and in weddings where it was closer to $100. Sean was originally getting all of his groomsmen the Executaires. However at the mall yesterday we found different things like a very nice set of poker chips and a holding case and a wine carrying case with glasses. So we decided to vary by our guys interest. We will be tossing in a bottle of their favorite spirits as well.

Sean was recently in his sister's wedding. They got him a traveling humidor (he travels a lot) for cigars and put some very nice cigars in it for him. They also tossed in a good bottle of wine. (That was more for the both of us :D )

If I think of anything else I will let you know. Do you know what some of your groomsmen's interests are?

I'm getting my Bridesmaids things that they can use/wear the day of the wedding. The hair and makeup is being provided by the MOB and MOH. I'm getting each girl jewelry and lip gloss. We're running on a tight budget.

My FH has yet to ask his GM & BM.. It's still a year away, so It's alright. My FH's Cousin gave all of his GM/BM gift cards to restaurants that they like, just because he thought that food is as good as anything else. Those are the ideas I've got. Cufflinks are a good idea, tie pins if you are doing a long tie instead of a bow.

With gas costing as much as it does, maybe a full tank would be a good gift! J/K.. Good luck and let us know what you decide!
