Groomsmen Gifts Thread

I don't think I've seen this thread before. What are the groomsmen gifts you are giving or have heard about before? How much did you spend?

=)

Not 100% sure yet, but I think we're getting our best man these cufflinks. He's a HUGE Grateful Dead fan.

They're $65

Re: Groomsmen Gifts Thread

i found a GREAT site for silverplated money clips...i am going to order a sample for FH though just to be sure beacuse the price is making me VERY weary!!

they arent sterling, they are silverplated, but that is fine, however i want to see what they are like (and i think there is a huge chance that htey could be crap because they are so cheap!!)

When FH was a groomsman in his friends wedding they gave out the Tiffany key chains, they are really nice and always useful

Someone here suggested redenvelope.com and we actually ordered a pocketwatch keychain for the BM. They engraved his initials then we had 'friendship is timeless' engraved on the back,

Julz, we were thinking the poker set! Are the chips made of clay like at the casinos? Do you have the link to where you purchased them from eBay?

Re: Groomsmen Gifts Thread

My FH has gone back and forth on this one. First he wanted to get them watches, then he wanted to get them cufflinks, now he says he's going to get the cigar kits- the cutter and lighter and a few good cigars each. I personally like the cuff link idea the best, but whatever he wants is fine by me.
