I dunno unique and thoughtful it would be, but I usually ask people directly what sort of gift they'd like. Have you asked them?

I am working on that myself. I don't want to do the typical flask or cufflinks (boring!). That subject is an ongoing topic on TheKnot.com , ProjectWedding.com and WeddingBee.com . Hope those links help you find something. Just do a search within those sites for "groomsmen gifts".

Here is a good article on some better ideas. We just may pay for the tuxes, which have already done, and not do a separate gift.

Buy the tuxes at JCPenney...classic black is $99.99, and they will get to keep the tux after the wedding for about the same (or less) than renting one for them.

I wish I would've thought of doing that before agreeing to rent, that's only $25 more than the rental.

A fellow came into the shop I work at this past Sunday and bought leather pad covers for his groomsmen.

I got my groomsmen swords. But then, my groomsmen were the kind of people who thought that was cool.
I had an explanation about old rituals involving mock-battles wherein the groom's party had to capture the bride, but mostly, I knew they would appreciate being given swords. Posts: 3826 | Registered: May 2005

We did cufflinks - traditional, monogrammed Sterling.
A gift I like to give male relatives on significant birthdays/occassions is a monogrammed clock (yes, clock, not watch). They've been universally well-received.
Sigh. I'm a boring traditionalist.
