thanks guys! I'm leaning towards these. Not too bad price-wise. 55 each

Anyone get something cool other than the typical engraved flask? Getting married in November and am looking to get the guys something unique/cool. Thanks |

If they're cigar smokers, you can get mini humidors at a reasonable price online...or maybe a leather carrying case and butane lighter. |

I gave my guys a set of binoculars. I thought it was different...and they're a bunch of stalkers anyway. Or anything from Scentsy. |

A scotch/whiskey decanter is always a good gift. Or go with wine. |

I stood up in a wedding back in 07 and my buddy got us these bag cooler/chairs and had our initials put on them. I couldn't find the website for it but I did find this to kind of give you an idea what I was talking about. It wasnt terribly expensive but honestly this is the coolest gift I had gotten for standing up in a wedding ever. http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/35941 ... chair.html |

I got my guys each a really nice stainless steel Thermos. I think they were $40 each and you could probably engrave them if you wanted. I thought they would be perfect for camping or tailgating before a concert or game. I never saw any of them use it so I am assuming they didn't care for them but considering my budget it was the best I could do. |

Got my groomsmen engraved beer mugs and hats (winter wedding). Best gift I got was a pair of customized PUMAS. Those cats were awesome, but mouthy. |

Thanks One of my friends did the customized Louisiville Slugger bats. They had some information about the wedding on each bat. I thought it was unique. |

Im not being snobbish, im sure the stuff was legit nice, but in the context of what people were naming to just name off Portillo's Rum a Knife Suspenders Maybe its me |

I got more use out of the rum, pocket knife, and portillos than an engraved flask or money clip. |

Yeah at a glance it is strange. But upon closer inpsection-- my bro in law is a hunter/fisherman so the knives worked and we all wore the suspenders to the wedding. My cousin in a big Bears fan and his late father loved Crown Royal so when he gave us the flasks he said he felt that his Dad would be there if we all had a sip or 2 from it on the bus ride to the church. The rum & Portillo's was a little odd, but I didn't care

I had to pay for over half my wedding ( I am sure a lot of others have had to, I just thought it was customary for the brides family to pay ) and after dropping a lot on a ring I didn't have a ton of coin to spend on gifts for the 6 guys I had stand up. Excuse stated... I'm out.... the bats look cool, the guys will love them, hopefully they don't use them on one another later in the evening.

It's taking a great deal of restraint for me not to start a "Grossman Gift Ideas" thread...
