GM gifts

Sorry haven't been around a lot - super busy with new job and wedding stuff - but I'm stuck....FH is super confused about his gifts. We got them LL Bean small duffel bags with their names on it....now he feels it's not enough and wants to get them watches too....I feel like getting them watches will make the duffel bags seem cheap - which they weren't - they were $40....I of course spent more for BM gifts - but I put more time and effort into it....with days until the rehearsal dinner (this friday)....can you ladies PLEASE suggest anything to add to the bags that is cute but manly lol and inexpensive LOL...I said wine - but not everyone drinks it - any ideas? TIA soooooooooooo much!

The alcohol thing is what i'm worried about - not sure all the guys would appreciate (or my parents since they are afraid of drunkeness lol)

A watch (a nice one) would be kind of pricey. We did etched beer steins. You can get something like that at Things remembered. Ir you can get them those insulated tumblers at BBB with their favorite team logo (so each guys could get the same thing, but different.

And you could put that in the duffel?

They are in the store! They are insulated tumblers....each tumbler is like $16? A set of 4 is maybe $50?

If he wants to do watches check out kohl buy one get one half off and I think the twenty percent off. Coupon is still in effect. FH got them beermugs but I felt like that wasn't enough. I shopped around and got 4 relic watched for 127 bucks.

DH got personalized flasks for everyone ... alcohol not included ... The guys loved them!

You also do not have to have the guys open their gifts in front of everyone, FH could give the gifts to them privately, and you won't have to worry about upsetting parents!

we did this for our guys as well, and they LOVED them! They had a built in money/cigarette compartment, and since 4-5 of the GM smoked, they really appreciated it.

we also got them a bottle of their favorite liquor

this seems like the best choice given the lack of time..and the bottle is a nice touch, but doesnt necessarily mean they will drink it at the wedding!!
