Here's what we got the guys...and we got them these five packs of every different kind of absolut to go with it........ and for the two youngsters we got pocketwatches that can also turn into a watch.

ETA: We spent $30 on the shot glass sets and the absolut 5 packs were $10. I spent wayyyyyyyyyy more on the girls, I spent way over $150 one each... not intentionally though!! I have a bad habit of seeing something and buying it!!

Since they are mostly all firefighters, he is giving them a Bronze Helmet statue, similiar to this but just the helmet sitting in a coil of hose. And the front of the helmet will be engraved with their name and 'Groomsman'.

Pretty sure we'll be giving watches. I'm waiting for the next Swiss Army sample sale. My friend said she'll get an e-mail when it's coming and I'll let you all know. She went to the last one and got $200 watches for $50-75.

FH decided that 'his' GM would like this. It is a guy's gift he says.......whatever

Thanks Jennifer!!! I keep telling him he has to think of a gift for his GM, but he says 'yeah, yeah, I'll do it'... but I know when it comes down to it, he'll say, you'll wind up picking them out, you have a better idea.. So I'm giving him some ideas, and I think those are a cute!! They all are drinkers, so I'm sure they would love that gift..

I got the shot glass set at things remembered, but the set I got can only be ordered through the catolog or at the store. It is not sold online!!

Re: What is FI getting BM and Groomsman?

ok this is going to sound kind of odd but my fh is getting them swords -
it is to wear with their costumes and we figure it will serve double duty as the gift

Re: What is FI getting BM and Groomsman?

we bought our GM poker sets and a premium bottle of scotch

since they love to get together..play poker and drink scotch...

you could get a lesser quality scotch...or other kind of liquor...

we got the poker sets at Pearl Paint

Re: What is FI getting BM and Groomsman?

I don't know what we're doing, but since we only have one BM, I'm letting FH take care of that. BUT, my brother had a great idea for his own wedding. He gave the guys wooden baseball bats with their names and the date engraved into them. I think he got them on the Cooperstown website--it was so appropriate because my brother is such a baseball FREAK!!!
