Groomsman gifts? All the same? Same $ amt, different gifts?

What are you planning on doing?

I was considering getting watches for the guys (I only have 3) - but 1 is NYPD and doesn't really wear a watch, 1 is FDNY and doesn't ever wear a watch....so I don't know anymore.

Any suggestions?

Cufflinks are out
Mugs are out
Beer of the Month is out (1 doesn't drink, 1 is underage)

I need some help, please!

eta: my BMs are done - that was so easy compared to the men!!!

What about tickets to a sporting event. We were going to do that at one point.

FH got his guys a starter kit from The Art of Shaving and a personalized travel bag with toiletry kit. He has 8 GM

so it's kind of out of hand.

I think he is getting his brother (BM) a watch in addition to the shaving and travek stuff.

Are the guys into cigars or sports?

my FH is going to get each of his GM (6 in all) Gift certificates to their favorite store.... for example, BM is a yankees diehard, my brother loves the Applte Store...so he is going to get it to suit their taste and write them all a personal note on the card....

we are handling this NOW...cause FH is slack.

his BM: no clue
1 GM: personalized money clip and key chain
1 GM: persronalized flask

both are from things remembered...the GM gifts were about the same. i think his BM gift will be a little more expensive

Re: Groomsman gifts? All the same? Same $ amt, different gifts?

We are probably going to do different gifts for each but in the same price range. They all have different tastes and figured this would be the easiest way to go
