Groomsman gifts

Hey there congrats! when I got married (two times) I bought the first guys pocket knives. the second wedding because they were all military guys I bought them "leathermans" or "Gerber tools" not for the PC but they are handy to have...CSM-H

Costco has a nice leatherman set for under $100 (might be around 60 or 70).

I've been a groomsmen a few times and I've gotten a wallet, gift certs, etc but the last time was the best. I was the best man and my friend usually sucks with gifts for people so I thought I'd get something dumb but it was the best present he'd ever given me (known him for almost 20 yrs).

I got a framed share of Ducati Motors. Some of the other guys got a framed share of Playboy, Anheuser-Busch, etc. He knows I've been into bikes and was lusting after a Ducati for years. Very cool gift.

The stocks that Bobby was talking about are available from here:

You can cater the stock to their interests... neat novel idea.

A less expensive idea is to look on ebay for cancelled stock certificates for companies and then you go and have them professionally framed. My future FIL is a model railroad buff, so I found a vintage LIONEL stock certificate and had it framed for him to hang in his train room. He has it proudly displayed on the wall.

Lastly, check out GroomStop: http://www.groomstop.com/
