Any ideas for male GM's gifts

Ladies, FH and I were talking about what to get the guys as gifts. He initially wanted fitted hats with their initials but they are really expensive. Last night we saw flasks on ebay for $4.99 and we could get them engraved but I wanted some other ideas. We don't want to send the wrong message and since all his guys drink sometimes he felt it was appropriate. Please give me some other ideas. Oh, for my BM's, hostesses and FG's, I have purchased their 3pc pearl sets and they are gorgeous but I wanted to get them these slippers but they are too expensive for the amount I need to buy.

Re: Any ideas for male GM's gifts

Those slippers are to expensive and they are not that nice on the eyes..

For your guys...these are nice and you can have them engraved with either their names, or your wedding date and they are $9.99 each

Or this, same features

Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.

Hey there PB&J. I have just purchased these money clips for FHs groomsmen. They are engravable and were only $5.95 each. (with an additional $4.75 for personalization) Check them out Groomsmen Gifts. I also purchased 3pc sterling silver cz sets for my MOHs and BMs. I haven't purchased the FG or RB gifts as yet.

We made grooming kits; beard trimmers, scissors, nose trimmers, nail clippers, and comb in a stainless steel cigar box and had them ingraved. Each set cost about $30 to put together.

Re: Any ideas for male GM's gifts

Do you have a "Things Remembered" in your area? They had a really nice sale last week. They had all types of stuff in their clearance section, then last week everything was an additional 50% off.

We got a few of the groomsmen engraved boxes that has compartments in it for two decks of cards, a notebook, and a pen (all were included). The original price was $25 each, plus $6 for engraving. We got them for $12 each (including engraving). We got the two best men engraved chessboards. It is a 4 in 1 game (chess, checkers, dominoes, backgammon). The original price on that was $69 each, and we got them for $20 each.

I got the bridesmaids trinket boxes that were originally $26 each (including engraving), but I got them for $11 each (including engraving.)

If you have one in your area, check with them on a regular basis because those kind of deals don't come too often, but when they come, they are nice. You can also check their website.

I just checked it for you. Right now, they are having a buy one gift, get a second of equal or less value half off. They are giving the same deal in the stores, so if you have one in your area it would be cheaper to visit the store so you don't have to pay for shipping.

(Sorry, didn't mean for this post to be this long:)

Re: Any ideas for male GM's gifts

I forgot to add one thing..........they have more of a selection in the store. The items I end up buying were not on their website, but that may be because they were clearance items.

Wow B2B, you got yourself a WONDERFUL deal. Thanks for letting me know. BTW, when did you get your items? This way, I can be looking out for the sale around the same time next year. lol

Re: Any ideas for male GM's gifts

I got them last week, but they have sales pretty often. Some sales are better than others, and I lucked up and caught one of the good ones.

If you already have your attendants picked, then you can start buying stuff now. If you have one in your area, you can call them like once a month and ask them what their upcoming sales are. You might get on their nerves, but who cares, they have to answer you regardless:)

Re: Any ideas for male GM's gifts

I have pretty much ordered everything except for my FG and RB. I can check in from time to time to see if I can get something for them.

Re: Any ideas for male GM's gifts

I just checked that site and I found out that there's a dtore less than 10 miles from my house.I will surely keep that in mind when I start buying my attendants gifts.
