What are you all giving the groomsmen as bridal party gifts?? My fiance and I are having a really hard time thinking of something.

We are giving them sterling silver moneyclips, cufflinks and keyrings. I could get them from my job at a discount. I also want to give them baskets filled with facial products from Sephora. They're all 'pretty boys'.

We got them these leather toiletry bags and put a $30 gift card in each of them to their favorite store. The bags were a hit! They are something different and definitely practical. It is also nice that they are personalized. http://www.aclassytouchwedding.com/productdetails.asp?ProductID=82&location=attendantgifts

Re: Groomsmen gifts

a tux and cufflinks (they all chipped in $100 bucks towards the tux, we paid the rest but got a great deal because DH's dad is a tailor)

Re: Groomsmen gifts

We went to the outlets and bought Coach Leather card holder/money clips. My FH liked it so much he bought an extra one for himself in black and brown. They were $30. ($48 in the store). It came in a pouch bag and coach box (nice presentation)

Re: Groomsmen gifts

We've had a lot of problems coming up with what to get the guys-- finally we decided to get everyone different things..

Younger GM's-- since they have never been in a wedding party-- we can get them the 'obligatory' money clip and flasks.. I think these are great gifts- but everyone gives them, so we did not want to give to the older guys, since they have all received this stuff already.

Two other guys-- we are getting them these really cool iPod travelling cases. Any iPod owners out there know how fanatical people are about their iPods-- it's a cool case that totally utilitarian.

The last two- my bro and FH's bro-- we are undecided on.. We'll figure it out eventually.

On top of those gifts-- they are going to get a couple other things-- like the vest and tie for the wedding, among other things here and there..

Re: Groomsmen gifts

I like the coach wallet idea. For my two brothers, who are sports FANATICS, I was thinking of getting them tickets to see a football/hockey/baseball game (whatever would be in season at the time).

Re: Groomsmen gifts

I get 40% of Coach through my job so needless to say the guys are gettng wallets and the girl are getting bags/wristlets!

For the guys, we will probably put gift certificates in the wallets. I also like the idea of getting tickets to a game (whoever is playing).

Good luck!
