I got them all a nice cooler and put a six pack of each of their favorite beer in it, along with some other small items. Ordered the coolers on Amazon for a pretty good price. It went well - I didn't want to go the cliche route either.

Was on Amazon as you posted. I figured they'd be there, just wanted to take a look see.

I have plenty of bottle openers already from bars in the 70s and 80s. Had never seen the 50 cal opener though.

Don't go cheap on them. Spend more that $25 dollars. They are spending a lot more being in your wedding

I thought it was a good idea
I didn't know what else to get, so I went with it
They liked it

And He's likely spent plenty on some of his groomsmen's weddings too. No reason to spend hundreds of dollars on a gift. It's not a competition, or at least it shouldn't be.

ETA: Downvoted I didn't realize we had groomsmen-zillas on here.

Same. And at least 3 of mine I know carry them regularly years later.

Well I like them. That's a manly looking coaster.

Was a groomsman once. Got some crap. I don't remember exactly. Might have been a glass with my initials. Think I threw it away

I agree that having someone else fork over the $200 on the tux would be nice. I just don't see that as a gift.

Hey, be in my wedding and your gift is that you don't have to pay for the tux I'm asking you to wear!

That's assuming OP isn't paying for his wedding. Maybe he is and that's why his limit is $25-50.

If you can swing this, definitely the most meaningful thing you will be able to do.

My parents covered the suit rentals for my groomsmen (all guys that I grew up with so they knew them well) and I covered the gifts in addition to that. All in all they were really appreciative of both gestures

And his groomsmen probably spent more than $25 dollars on him. Nobody is saying to spend a couple hundred dollars on a gift.

It's just funny that you assume $25 can only buy cheap crap. You just sound a bit materialistic.

I've decided to go the individualized sock route for part of the gift, and I've been toying around with the personalized yeti as well. I am a yeti tumbler whore and find i use the 20oz more than the 32oz so I was probably going to go that route just because I find it's easier to carry around.
