    Ive already given three of them jerseys as christmas gifts. they all are big sports fans. I like the humidor idea but I am going w jroth here. I dont want to give a gift they will use once or twice, unless its something cool like tickets to the indy 500 or a big sporting event.

    Only one of them likes to golf which sucks bc i find it very fun. I really like where mrs robinson was going w her ideas. im gonna hit up uncrate here in a sec to see what it is

    My 2 brothers recently stood in my wedding. One is a big cigar smoker so he got a 3-cigar carrying case with his initials engraved on it, and my other brother is a big pot head so he got a kick ass grinder with his initials engraved on it. They both seemed to really like them and they will def get used.

    Pocket watches are nice. Only problem is they end up in the washing machine, like my wallet, money, car keys, etc.
    I have one from about 25 yrs ago when my sister got married.
    The wife never checks my pockets before doing the laundry. Sometimes I forget to empty them myself. Now the watch sits in my spare change tray and has not worked since about 2 weeks after the wedding.

    (1) take them all to a reds game on you and buy tix in your price range.
    (2) nice round of golf somewhere
    (3) their favorite bottle of booze + personalized flask

    I second the pocketknife category. Every man should respect/like a good knife. CRKT makes some really good stuff between $30-$100. Then get them engraved? (I got a bottle of nice whiskey and a nice cigar when I was a groomsman....those both were gone within a few days)...

    Probably the best gift I've received as a best man/groomsmen was a set of pint glasses from a bar myself and the groom used to frequent. Was super practical because I use pint glasses all the time and had some nice nostalgia factor because almost everytime I see those pint glasses I think of the stupid hijinx we pulled when we were younger. I'm with JRoth in the anti-flask category. I've gotten 3 of them and I simply never use them. I'd honestly rather prefer a bottle of booze over a flask. I know it lacks creativity but we're men FFS, shouldn't we value utility over creativity?

    what do you think about getting these flags but personalize it for each persons favorite sport and then a nice $30ish dollar bottle(of alcohol) for each of them.

    How would you personalize it? I just don't see where you would put their name?
