I think yes. It doesn't have to be expensive, but something thoughtful to thank them.

I guess you never HAVE to do anything... but it's just a nice gesture. They're spending $$ and time to do this and it's just something to show you appreciate them.

With that age difference I would stick to something sports related if you want to get the same things.

Yes, it's to thank them for being a part of your bridal party.

Re: DO YOU HAVE TO GIVE GIFTS TO GROOMSMAN
I'm giving the girls more because they incur more expenses along the way and are just 'there for me' more in general, but I'm getting the guys in our bridal party REEF flip flops with the bottle opener on the bottom (they're the Mick Fanning brand). It kind of kills two birds with one stone because we're taking pics on the beach, so they can wear these for that, too.
The cute thing is, they make REEFS for kids and toddlers, so I even bought them for my 3 y/o nephew and my FH's 8 y/o nephew (sans bottle opener!).
I'm putting them in a Nike pullstring bag that they can use the day of. I'm also giving them a men's travel bag with travel sized stuff in it that I got a great deal on.
For the best man, I'll probably give something beer related. Beer of the Month Club? Something like that...

The GM aren't spending $$ if the poster's FH is paying for their tuxes. Time, yes, but $$$, nope.
I suppose in the same way that paying for a BM can be considered a gift, so too can paying for the tux. However, I would get them a small momento of the day.

I think a small gift would be good. Since you paid for the tuxes it does not have to be big. A personalized drinking glass would be nice. They are reasonable. You can get them from a things remembered and have there inital put on it.

I would suggest a $25 gift card to like Best Buy, all men like it, the younger men can put the money towards a video game or something.
