I've been stressing out about what to get my groomsmen for a gift, i don't want the traditional money clip, cuff links, golf, wine, etc. so i thought i would try and find something different for each which isn't easy either but i had some ideas but everybody i talked to said they should all be the same. So i was thinking about a mag lite set, it's a AA battery engravable mag lite that comes in a box with a nice leather man knife, my price range is about $40 a person and that fits but my fiance thinks that's a horrible idea, i know that myself personally would love something like that because mag lites are great and come in handy, what do you guys think and do you have any suggestions?

Mag lites are OK but not great, but I don't know your groomsmen, obviously. Not my cup of tea, anyways.Maybe really nice engraved pocketknives? Weaponry is good, but I don't think "usefulness" is a requirement for a gift. My groomsmen were all more or less "car guys," so I got 'em all a nice scale model car about in that same price range.Don't do gift cards -- that's cheesy at best.

i just got married and my husband and i had the same problem. after MANY discussions i told him, he would know better than i would what kind of gifts a guy would want. my husband ended up picking personalized golf towels and they were a big hit. just an idea!

I would say that if you think your groomsmen will use the gift then it is a great idea. And as for different gifts for each guy, I think that is great too. However, in many cases time issues make one type of gift for each groomsmen easier and less stressful. I found this page which talks about travel bags, bar signs, concert tickets, sports gifts, etc... some are traditional and others unique. Worth a look. http://www.giftideacenter.com/Occassion/Wedding/groomsmens_gifts.php
