Redwhitebride posted about bridesmaid gift ideas and I wanted to know what your future hubby is doing for his guys.  Mine is having a hard time deciding.  We see the same things around here like monogrammed mugs, flasks and watches...he's trying to think outside the box but so far, nothing.  Also, our budget is around $30 per guy.  Please help!

My FI doesn't get the concept of gm gifts, and his groomsmen did not get him a gift when he stood up for them so I am going to get some nice beer mugs with their names on them. Done. 

My FI went through this phase where he wanted to shave the old fashion way (using shaving cream, etc.) so he thought this would be a cool gift for the guys.

THE ART OF SHAVING STARTER KIT $25

I think we're going to do personalized belt buckles (its chris' thing) or really cool cufflinks for each groomsmen. Like batman for one, firetruck for other. I found them on etsy.

I actually found the boys easier than the girls!! The boys all will keep the tie, cufflinks and hankie they will wear for the day and I have brought them each a dartington crystal decanter, square very classic looking.

my FI has no plan for his own wedding attire (yet), let alone GM gifts :P he says he'll think about it in March! and, of course, he doesn't get why i keep asking.

ditto redwhitebride. Chris is so laxydaisy about everything. Good for getting the wedding the way I want, but frustraiting too!

but that is very small, I look to it for FI Christmas present, then I changed my mind and I bought the medium size one - $50.

My FI got a monogrammed cooler backpack when he was a groomsmen for his sister's wedding. We love it and use it all the time. It's less than $30! I love it so much and thought it was such a good idea that I am giving them to my BMs for my wedding!

Also, I ordered them personalized and got them in about two weeks.

So being the totally unconventional bride that I am part of the groomsmen gifts will be Tuxedo T-shirts!  The guys are going to love them because most of them are dreading wearing tuxes anyway so my compromise will be that they have to wear tuxes for the ceremony but for the Reception they can slip the jacket off (leave on slacks) and wear the tuxedo t-shirts.  I think it will be a good way to tone down the vibe at the reception and make it not so stuffy.  We are aiming towards a more party feel reception with drinks and a live band!  I am super excited I got the t-shirts and they are great and i am going to have the guys last names printed on the back so they are more personal.  What do you think? It says I am classy but i am hear to party.  :)
