I've got 5 groomsman to buy for. I wanna keep it under $75 each. Any suggestions?

Engraved glass frosty mugs. That's what I got my guys, and it's been the best gift I've received in other weddings I've been in.

Flasks or travel humidors seem to be popular choices. You can get them personalized with their initials, too.

Good ideas. In past weddings I've been in I got a mall gift card, and shoes. So I want to get something good. Those mugs sound like a good idea. Do you have a link to the ones you got?

I don't have a link, unfortunately. They were around $30 I think. Make sure you get a nice, solid mug. It's perfect if the person just drinks pop, or if they want to use it as a beer mug.

$75 per groomsman. that seems like a lot but if u have the cash why not, they deserve it. there are TONS of sites out there that have gift ideas.
we did pilsners with their names on them. my cousin did cuff links.

I got my guys a bottle of wine and a rabbit wine opener, but they were all wine drinkers.

I have received a large glass beer mug with my initials etched in it, a nice travel humidor with several cigars inside, Cigar cutter/folding knife/money clip set, Championship Poker set...all nice gifts because they were something I would use. It's not neccessarily the money, which you are being very generous with, it's making sure these guys don't pop these things open and say, "yeah thanks...what the fuck is this?".

Congratulations btw.

I've been in a lot of weddings, but noone has ever spent 75 bucks on me. I guess I have the wrong friends...I usually get gifts in the $20 range. I spent $25 on leathermans for the guys in my wedding. I didn't engrave em though...I procrastinate to much for that.

Yes our mugs are very popular because they can be used for so many occasions, formal or informal.

[quoteee18ac9fe3="hairyferry"]yup, plus she is giving 20% off to fipg members.[/quoteee18ac9fe3] Yes this is true ) The members of this community helped me to get the funds to start the business with my husband, so why not give back?!
