PLEASE HELP ME! I don't want the usual. We really wanted to buy all of our GMs pocket watches because we know they would love them, but we just cannot afford. Please give me some affordable ideas for gifts! THANK YOU!

Did you try Tri-County? My brother got his GM pocketwatches and I don't think they were more than $50

Well thanks anyway We just have SO many groomsmen that we need to keep individual gifts cheaper than we thought.

Sorry!! I know how annoying that is But I was one of the people who looked and didn't answer. Only b/c I spent alot on our GMs and didnt want to give you ideas that are out of your budget. and the only other thing I could think of was tickets to a baseball or basketball game so they can all go before or after the wedding together but I dont know how much something like that costs.

definitely check out RedEnvelope.com. They have great stuff and I know they have gifts for under $50. I've ordered from them TONS of times and never had a single complaint (and I can definitely complain! see the 05 Board review of Exclusively Weddings ). Everything is really high quality. Hope this helps!!

You werent being a beyotch b/c there are plenty of times I post stuff and no one or very few people respond and I get really mad b/c I always always try to help the brides on here with pictures/advice etc.
Do you def. want to give them all the same thing or are you willing to give each guy a different thing?? For ex. we gave our groomsment eletric shaver things with a basket of male grooming stuff for the big day.. My 16 year old brother would never in a million years appreciate us spending $150 on an electric shaver so we got him a GC to his favorite hobby store

Do any of them play pool?? I saw on this board once that a bride got the guys there own personalized pool stick ( sorry dont know the real name of it!)
and my good friends FH is going to give his GM's personalized bowling balls since they are all on a bowling legue together ( not sure how much that is going to cost either )

Re: HELP! Need GM gift ideas under 50 bucks!
We will totally give them different things. they're all kind of weird and wouldn't appreciate like flask or a lighter. I know that we are definitely getting the bestman an engraved pocketwatch because he would think that is like the coolest thing in the world. But the rest of them are all different. Like, I have one jr. GM who is like 12, and he is totally into yo-yos for some reason, so we got him the silver plated one, then my 16 yr. old cousin plays poker with his friends every weekend, so we got him a poker set. But it's the other SEVEN guys that I don't know what to do with. One is my bestfriend andhe is technically a bridesman, so I am getting him something like a gift certificate because I know he will love that, but the others are hard to shop for. They all love baseball, so I was thinking of getting them engraved baseball bats, but they're expensive

ummmm
cigars? I think bethsiar did this for their GMs - it was in her review. Dont know the price.
My sister and her husband gave the GM's swiss army knives - less than $50 and they were a big hit.
there are some cool beer glasses from red envelope - they have toasts written on them - 4 for around 50 bucks - I gave them to my cousin for Christmas and he loved them.
Omaha steaks? dont know how much that is.
Gift certificate to a restaurant?
A nice bottle of wine or whiskey (Jamesons)
Are they golfers? Maybe a golf club - I dont know how much that would be.

Re: HELP! Need GM gift ideas under 50 bucks!
If they are golfers...maybe a gift certificate to their favorite driving range....a subscription to a magazine they are interested in...a gift certificate to ticketmaster...cufflinks... I know the men would never admit it but how about a picture of a few of them as kids...ask your fmil if they have been friends forever...I'm going to do that as a surprise for my fhs groomsmen
