That's a pretty sweet idea.

 

maybe I'm a **** but that's the worst idea I've heard. This won't mean **** because it's still insulting, but no offense.

 

None taken.
I think it has potential, but I'd think of other stuff to go in the boxes. My brother would like it the best because he's a redneck, but I think I might stick with the flasks, and something to go in them, instead.

 

i was in my cousins weding and what i got was a free meal and my cousin (not the one getting married her brother) giving a speach drunk off his ***... and cold cuz it was boulder colorado in january

 

x2, that's a great idea and very original

 

I gave each of my groomsmen a Leatherman. Flasks are pretty cliche in my opinion.

 

You're probably right. I'd much rather have some crappy watch, or an engraved mug that i'll never use, or some stinkin key chain. Those are all much better ideas!

 

give me a watch and I'll love you forever.

 

A knife, Zippo, Leatherman, Ammo can, case of MRE's... those all work.

Skip the whole engraving part... save your money... no self respecting dude wants to carry around something with the date of YOUR wedding on it.

 

In my wedding, I gave some of the smaller leatherman knife tools that fit on the keychains. I think they cost about 30 or so. One of the best gifts I ever had was a small swiss army knife. I put it on my keychain and had it forever until I was too lazy to return it to my car at the airport. Considering you can get a new one for about $10, it just wasn't worth it to walk out to my car. The $10 also helps a ton on your budget as well. Most guys won't care one way or another.

I received an engraved flask once for being in a wedding. I have never used it. I would probably skip that idea. Who drinks out of a flask anyway?

The ammo can idea sounds encouraging as well. Just pick a theme on what you want to put in there and go with it.

 

Or, you could just help pay for the tux rentals. That is the biggest gripe most groomsmen have. Unless you are already doing this.

 

similar. For one wedding we got really nice Victorinox pocket knives.

Another We got watches.

 

Here's a site that can give you some ideas. Might be a little late to order from them, but there are some unique gifts.

I received a leatherman for being in a wedding, probably the most practical gift. But get the real one, no chinese crap. I have been in 10 weddings and have received all the engraved junk that sits in my cupboards, not worth it. Although I did get an engraved stainless steel can cooler that I use all the time. I use when I am camping or hanging out on the boat. They were just engraved with our last names or nick names. That may be a good gift.

 

I like the Leatherman idea. At least that's something that I know they'll get some use out of.

Now... does anybody have these Leatherman's and how do you like them?
The Kick - on clearance at Wal-Mart for $20 - It's $29.99 @ ****'s
The Fuse - 34.99 @ ****s, ($38.94 at Wal-Mart) and I have a 20% off coupon. I like this one better, but I'm also cheap. But if it's significantly better I'll get it. That's why I need some reviews.
I'm not springing for the $80 ones.
