I’m getting married in a few months and need help with some gift ideas. All of the guys in the wedding have been in multiple weddings and I don’t want to get them the usual flask or something like that. They all enjoy hunting and fishing so anything along those lines would work. Help me out OB!

I got a Benchmade folder for one wedding I was in. It's my EDC now.

Softside icechest with a 6pack or bottle of whiskey is always a winner.

You could also pay for their tuxes or hotel rooms.

Totally depends on your budget too.

ETA: Here are two threads previously discussing the same thing:

Groomsmen gifts you actually enjoyed

I was in a wedding in 2014 and the groom gave us all skinning knives. Nothing fancy or expensive about them but it has been a solid knife and I still use it often.

I think the model is boker magnum elk hunter. Around 30 bucks.

This ^^^^

Do you have 4 groomsmen? 10?

I got my ushers the same gift as I gave my groomsmen. Everyone got gerber multi-tools and a portable blue tooth speaker. I still get comments that both are used regularly and enjoyed several years later.

My brother gave everyone hatchets. I end up using it a good bit for around the yard and in the woods.

I gave nice cigar lighters and cutters, but have a coworker getting married and he is giving these along with a pack of mini bottles of booze and pack of condoms in case they get lucky with a bridesmaid

A Yeti Roadie is a bold move.

I got each of mine something different. They were at different stages of like so it didn’t make sense to get them all the same thing. My older brother in law had just finished his cpa exam so I got him a nice name plate for his desk. My buddy from growing up was in law school. I got him a set of rocks glasses with his last initial on them. My younger brother in law was still in high school so I got him something for his car. And my dad got a nice bottle of single malt scotch.

I did duffel bags with their last names on them. Think they were the western pack bags, but looks like that company might be out of business

how about paying for their tux rental if your wedding is formal and any of the gift ideas mentioned already, attended a wedding recently and overheard one of the groomsman say "dat shite was expensive, I shoulda found a wife and got married here if I had known how much dis shite rents for and got my money's worth...

You could also do custom engraved YETI tumblers. They run around $50 each for the 20oz and look pretty cool. Either there monogram or name or nickname, etc...

I did custom gifts to fit each groomsman but if they all like hunting and fishing go with a nice skinning knife or nice filet knife.
