JimboS1ice Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 So as some of you know I'm getting married in may, so I guess it's time, per future mrs Jimbo, to get something for my guys standing up, I'm kind of drawing a blank other than the typical beer glass or mount in the garage bottle opener, any ideas?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my groomsman hatchets. I didn't get to have them engraved like I wanted but they liked them. At least I think they did.

comp56 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 well being Italian, I gave my groomsmen a money clip with the date engraved, so be it maybe tacky but ask any of the guys and they still have it 33+ yrs now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI bought my dad an estwing like that for Christmas last year, I think that's the better route than an engraved one which is really shit for functionality and tool quality Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Go to Harry's and buy the Truman Razor set or something like that! Pretty inexpensive and I have two of their razors, they are fantastic and styled really nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicolasRamos Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Not nearly as cool as hatchets, but my buddy had koozies made with the wedding date, and under he and his wife's name it said "to have and to hold, and to keep my beer cold"Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought hat was cool. I wanted to get something functional that you don't normally see. I got a personalized mug for one wedding I was in... it sits on my dresser with junk in it. Let's face it. I'll never use it for anything and at some point that mug will run away. Just like my gold fish did as a kid. A lot of stuff I see online for groomsmen is golfing related and that's not me or my groomsmen Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 In the wedding I was just in, we got cigar humidors customized for us. I know a few that have done tie clips/money clip sets. How about engraved pliers wrenches? haha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I gave my groomsmen a Zippo lighter and a shot glass that had mine and Mrs. Conductor's name and the wedding date. Of course they all drank and all but one of them smoked, so there's that. I got an engraved hip flask at one wedding, which was kinda cool. My wife's cousin gave pocket knives Got everyone a Case XX with their names on one blade and Best Man, Groomsman, etc, on the other blade. Wish I'd thought of that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 You can also get custom Crown Royal labels. Other spirits too. That's kinda cool. Way nicer than a $7 bottle of Champagne that will go bad in a couple years https://www.etsy.com/listing/294545753/personalized-crown-royal-style-bottle?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_b-paper_and_party_supplies-other&utm_custom1=25a760b0-fcf6-4f87-801e-01d1ec06a968&gclid=CjwKEAiA17LDBRDElqOGq8vR7m8SJAA1AC0_7S_7u6HMwDL_qyO4ST9uqk21_IDVfd566EDnI6VVvBoCNrfw_wcB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohiostatebuckeyefan Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I was going to suggest a pocket knife as well. Maybe their name or your names and the date engraved or just a slogan that will remind them of your friendship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foneguy Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Congrats !!! If you have time, maybe a small handmade item. Cigar box , pocket dump tray (not sure what it's called, when you dump out your pockets on the dresser). or something small like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordraw Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I have one of those Kobalt ratchets and socket set in gold and it is very cool. Would make a great gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theultimatehic Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I received a flask with my nickname in one wedding and a knife with the wedding date and my name engraved in it. I'm getting married in November so i still have plenty of time to figure out what I'd do but good thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
