FH is having a really tough time figuring out what to do for groomsmen gifts. He wants to give something that they will actually use and enjoys but is having a tough time because there's 9 of them. I've tried to suggest the traditional things like watches (one of the groomsmen gave them for his wedding) flask or some kind of glassware (he doesn't think that people will use them) cufflinks (he just doesn't like that idea). I suggested getting everyone something different but to be honest, I don't want him to because I don't want to have to help come up with 9 equally thoughtful gift ideas.
Any help would really be appreciated! What are your FH giving?

My husband gave Oakley sunglasses and they were a huge hit. The guys brought them the day of the wedding and we have shots of the guys in their glasses.

I think thats a really cute idea but it's another idea that he has shot down. He says he can't pick out sunglasses for other people. Did your husband give everyone the same pair and did they look good on everyone? I've told FH that we can give them the gift receipt and they can always exchange them! Maybe he could just take them all to the mall while I am getting ready and everyone could pick their own pair!

He got them all the same glasses. They all liked them and they looked good on all 6 guys and my husband (ages 18-46).
It was a little of a hassle to track down 7 glasses. Order in advance so you don't have to go to 4-5 different stores.
We got them at Sunglass Hut and you get a gift receipt and they are exchangeable within 30 days (even if used). My husband also wanted the same sunglasses for the pictures. No one exchanged them as far as I know.

Fh was having a hard time as well. Everything he thought of has been done already. So we are giving Kiehls shaving kits and something else, just not sure what yet. See if he likes that idea.

We gave them 'das boot' beer glasses, and a wallet from their favorite designer!

We did gym bags. Most of our groomsmen are already married and use d the traditional gifts like cufflinks and pocket watches already. We figure even if they don't go to the gym they can use them as travel bags.

We did watches for the bestmen (2 which are his brothers) and the groomsmen we did personalized beer mugs from little things remembered (?). I think that's what its called.
What about gift cards to each of their favorite restaurant? That's a little personal.

Thanks for all the suggestions ladies! I'll share the ideas with him and see what he says. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he'll like one of them because this is one thing that he should really be able to handle on his own lol!
The guys loved them. I believe he also put cigars in them. There was something else as well, but I can't think of what.

Re: Groomsmen gifts
Thanks for the suggestions ladies. Last night I told him all of your ideas and of course he says 'I think I'll just get them all something personal.' Which I know means he'll wait for me to come up with 9 suggestions for 9 different gifts.
