Gifts for male bridal party....What did your DH do???

[BrightSparkles]

DF is trying to come up with ideas on gifts to give the male members of our bridal party.
Does anyone have any suggestions on things that look nice but aren't tacky???
TIA

You know what? I can't even remember how terrible is that! I know it wasn't a pewter mug or anything like that though. Dh got a wallet with his initials stamped on it which he used for years till it fell apart and a pair of cowboy boots when he's been in a bridal party.

My cousin bought his groomsmen a glass beer stein with engraving on it, something practical but can also be put aside to just be looked at.
It has a pic of the groom beign dragged by his collar by the bride.. kinda tacky but very nice, obviously the pic or wording can be whatever you like.

I can't remember what the groomsmen got at our wedding (it was 16 years ago!!), but the best gift DH has got for being a groomsman was really nice cuff-links.

DH was given cufflinks a couple of years ago.

For ours, we gave boxes of Lego! It was funny but SO well appreciated.

DH gave all the guys nice cufflinks. And when they order shirts he made sure they had double cuffs so they could wear on day.

When DH was Bestman they got a gorgeous tie that they wore on the day.

We bought our groomsmens outfits (we got married in a beachy location so had cheesecloth type shirts and browny/grey pants from Ed Harry so it was an outfit they could wear again. We also gave them each a photoframe that had three spots - one we put in a picture of the groomsmen/Best man/groom from the engagement party, the other said their name and groomsmen etc, then left the third one empty and gave them a professional shot of themselves with the groom from the wedding day. When ever we go to any of their houses we always see it proudly displayed

(MummyNaomi ... the guys outfits sounds really nice & so comfy too )

We did the hipflask too..

I love the cufflink idea - you can get some really cool ones!
DH is a photographer and gave each of his groomsmen a small landscape pic.

We bought ours nice pocketknives - not hugely expensive ones, but nice ones, that came with a solid belt holster. They all seemed excited about them, but I'm not sure if they ever used them!
