I did flasks and a nice bottle of hooch to fill them with. Even without the hooch they are pretty nice. And when I told my wife that I was getting them she had me get one for her, too. :D

Anyone in the box know a decent/reputable web hosting company? My first attempt today was decidedly :rolleyes:.

depends how much you want to spend!

You could send them to Space Camp for the weekend. That's what I did for Mr. Brit's 40th. He went to Huntsville, Alabama to Space Camp. I think it cost about $350 or $400, I can't remember. He had a fantastic time.

We are all baseball fans (and the Yankees play the Red Sox the weekend of the wedding) so this is a very fitting suggestion. Unfortunately, 2/3 are out of state and their arrival times, combined with other pre-wedding events, do not allow enough time for a baseball game.

Could be worse....he could have is feet on the bulkhead! :eek:

The personalized flask idea did cross my mind, but they are not big drinkers so I'm not sure it would be put to much use. I, on the other hand, have threatened to get one for myself to carry around in my pocket on the day of the wedding. :D

Personalize sbm12's idea. Engrave the flasks and do a nice Cross pen.

It's already been said between us that doing shots before walking out to the altar will not be frowned upon. ^

However, after some recent events, LAS is looking better and better.

As I rummage through a draw of the never used groomsman gifts I have, I'd stay clear of the key chain with light (light never worked either), the cigar holder (looks real nice but I haven't had a cigar since that day), various engraved pen knives, etc. So I would rule those out.

Hmm - this might work... Groomsmen gifts never strike me as very practical though.

My fiancee is helping me look for suggestions and is currently reading a list that includes a share of Playboy stock and an acre of land on the moon. :confused: :rolleyes:

Any golfers in the crew? Book an outing.

Nothing wrong with a little booze to calm the nerves... :D

Groomsmen's gifts never are practical, which is why you should do one that is. Your boys might thank you if you get them a share of Playboy stock...supposedly Christy Hefner wants out in a really bad way and the whole empire is up for sale.

There has already been some talk about doing that on Friday morning. However, I feel like I should also give a tangible gift.
