Hey! with all the stuff you have to do and he can't do this one thing??? Geez!

How about beer mugs personalized w/ their names? Things Remembered (www.thingsremembered.com) do them and they are about $25 or $30.

Or personalized swiss army knives?

I think, as of now anyway, that I am going to get the GM pocket watches and engrave their initials on them and for the best man we were thinking of getting him like a 3 month membeship to the beer of the month club to go along with it.

Re: best men gift suggestions

My FH said he would really like a beer stein if he were a groomsman - and I'm talking the authentic looking ones, not just a beer mug.

Re: best men gift suggestions

All great suggestions!!!! I thinka beer mug, or a beer stein would be nice...I love the idea of the beer of teh month club too. Great ideas!!! Thanks ladies. His guys are very simple...would not know the meaning of serious name brand stuff, they wouldnt even know the value of it, so i want to just get them things that they will use on a regular basis, I feel like I am doing much more for my girls, but they have done alot more for me..man..I cant wait until all of this is over!!!

Re: best men gift suggestions

Alicia - we got our guys stainless steel bar sets & martini glasses from Pier 1. We put them in these home depot buckets (we couldn't afford ice buckets for each guy) with mini bottles of grey goose vodka & vermouth. Then I made up a recipe book with different martini recipes for them. They loved it!

Re: best men gift suggestions

We were thinking of doing engraved glass beer mugs also since they all drink...and we were going to put their nicknames on them rather than formal names!! Bm might also get a shot set...but now FH is thinking of pocket watches....anyone know where to find them and how much they run???
