Getting Frustrated... Please HELP!

Soo..I am having some MAJOR difficulties with FH picking out groomsmen gifts. I want to get them asap...
We were originally thinking iPod Shuffles, but we figured out that our BP is too difficult, adn that won't work out too well. For example, one GM doesn't have constant computer access so he won't be able to use it right away. Then one has 2 small kids that may fight to have one of their own... Soo..out of respect for all of them, we wanted to get something else...

What is everyone else getting their groomsmen??? We already got them nice sunglasses - all matching...but I reeeealy want to complete this task. Any help???

TIA

I'm not sure what FH is getting his groomsmen yet, but he's been in 2 weddings so far and has received a watch and an engraved pint class, if those ideas help.

FH isn't too thrilled of that idea, b/c that is what he got in every wedding he was in...so he wanted something different. Where did you get the watches?? Maybe I'll just go ahead and do it without him knowing..LOL

Thanks for your help!

I am probably going to get them from Fossil cause we dont want to spend more than $100 pp.

My fh was in a wedding where the groomsmen all got framed pictures of their favorite team's stadiums. They were pretty cool.

The girls were easy..but the guys are all different tastes... should I get each one something differetn??? That was FHs idea, and I don't think it's that wise... just in case they like what someone else got more then what we got them... ya know??

Re: Getting Frustrated... Please HELP!

I'm not going any gift cards this year...esp with all stores going out of business and stuff. We are thinking of cufflings or maybe a personalized flask thingy... I am also having difficulty with this too..... men are hard to shop for lol

Re: Getting Frustrated... Please HELP!

Well I found a nice Fossil watch..thanks to GPorka..lol... for $65... but I have such a large BP so I don't know if I should spend that much. Am I just being cheap? For the girls I spent about 45 each, and an addational 30 for the 2 MOHs... So would 65 for each guy be too much??? Please help.
And, would FH still have to get another gift for the 2 BM??

Re: Getting Frustrated... Please HELP!

i am having the same problem! i wanted to get all of the GM's video flips (handheld video cameras) but FH says not everyone will use that. so we were thinking of getting them each something different but FH is being difficult about it.

I am thinking watches (but everytime i bring it up FH says 'Its MY decision!') GRRR

my dad suggested getting tickets to a sporting event for every one to go together. i like that idea

Re: Getting Frustrated... Please HELP!

FH is considering pocket watches. They have some pretty nice ones at things remembered and they are on sale.

Re: Getting Frustrated... Please HELP!

Well you dont necessarily have to get them all the same thing so you could get some of them the shuffle and then others something different. Maybe you can load them with some of their favorite songs so they don't have to set them up.
