Groomsmen Gifts ???????

[PolishPython]

Ok Im stumped, my wedding is next month and I have yet to buy my groomsmen a gift. Now I only have 3 Including my Best Man. I have my best man Drew who is 25 and My younger brothers who are 13 and 15. I was going to buy them a Watch , then I decided not to. Then I was going to get a money clip for all of them and personalize it with the date of the wedding and something nice but it seems kind of cheesy. I have no idea and Im running out of time. Since MY wedding wil be the FIRST wedding I have ever attended I have no clue what to get these guys. IM not trying to break the bank either. So any suggestions ????????

I've actually been thinking of doing the personalized money clip with a gift card to one of the fav stores like home depot, lowes, or bass pro

when my sister got married my brother in law got us personalized money clips with matching keychains, i never got too much use out of the money clip but i still have the keychain. since a couple of them are almost driving age they may like the keychain

I got married a little over a month ago, and went with more of a personalized route, I got each groomsmen different gifts. My best man is into photography so I got him a new lens for his camera, one of my groomsmen is really into Australian pythons so I ordered him Keeping and Breeding Australian Pythons, while the other one just got an Ipod for the first time so I got him an alarm clock/Speaker system for his Ipod. All in all I think my groomsmen appreciated the (slightly) extra effort of getting something that was in tune with their interests and that they would all end up using.

Also, my wedding was only the second wedding I've ever attended (my sister's being the first)

For our groom mans gifts we paid for their tux, and had cigars for all of them.. With some of yours being under 18..I'd say find something in the 50.00 - 100.00 range.. Watches are nice, so are money clips, Cologne, or may be even treat them all to a massage the morning of the wedding..

Your best bet is to find something in common that all of you like to do... and get an accessory for that activity that is the best of the best... something they probably would never get themselves because it is almost "too good."

For example, my groomsmen and I are are seriously into offshore fishing. So I got them each a $150 pair of offshore fishing pliers. I think this is the perfect example. None of them would ever have been willing to fork out that much cash for a pair of pliers, but now that they have them, not only do they LOVE and sware by them, but they will use them for the rest of their lives.

And of course I got myself a pair too. We all went out fishing the week before the wedding and I used my pliers for that trip. I let them all try out my new pliers and while they all absolutely loved them, they said there was no way they would spend so much on a pair of pliers. Safe to say they were very happy men when they open their gifts a week later at dinner.

No offense but the money clip and and watches (unless you spend a fortune) all end up in the junk drawer within a short amount of time.

Some great suggestions here. I really like Mike Cavanaugh's idea, too.

I'd also echo that you can personalize each gift as well. At my brothers wedding, I was one of the groomsmen and he got each of us guys something special and unique for each of us.

But money clips, watches, keychains, etc are all kind of cheesy (unless they're bizarrely really into money clips or something) and aren't that personal or special IMO.
