Have been looking really hard into what to get my groomsmen for their gifts, they all like guns and outdoors kinda stuff. Right now have a price range of $50-60. Any suggestions out there?

I have gotten many groomsman gifts....the only gifts I use and still have (10-20years later) are the multi tools and a Swiss knife....which I used today as a matter of fact. All the other "stuff" was not particularly useful.

I personally gave custom tervis tumblers 11 years ago but I don't think you can do that anymore.....

Check out Anza Knives website. They run a monthly special and have some of their fixed blade knives super cheap under the Monthly Special tab. They aren't a Randall, but then again not too many knives compare to a Randall to begin with. I have had mine for 5 years and it is great still.

I still have a swiss army knife and a Gerber pocketknife I got as groomsman gifts 20+ years ago, all the others are long gone. Another idea is instead of spending $500-1000 on gifts no one is likely to keep or use, spend $100 or so on engraved bottle openers and corkscrews so you have something to give, and then plan a trip with all the groomsmen for next year (after your anniversary date). You can take a poll of your groomsmen to decide where to go and then you pay for the house rental for the place so all of you can get together again for the weekend or a couple of days. At the rehearsal/wedding you can give them your gift and also the confirmation number for the rental and booking time for any activities like fishing, golf, or shooting for the get together the following year. You will be surprised at how fast your 10 closest friends disperse after graduation and starting families. I've been married for 22 years and I still get together with 4-6 of my 9 groomsmen at least once a year for a few days.

I gave Kershaw Leeks to my groomsmen. Seemed to be a hit.

I did a duck hunting blind bag filled with Random stuff, floating camp gun case, call lanyard, leather duck strap, and a small Swiss army knife.

Engraved Fisher Space pens? Well under budget and I carry mine every day Just buy them directly from Fisher if you want them engraved.

Great bottle of whiskey or their liquor preference. My guys loved it and all "used" it.

Buy their hunting license if the wedding is before September 1st.

Actually, go ahead with the hunting license. Surely you know better than to get married during the fall.

Tomorrow will be my 23rd and out of my 4 groomsmen, only 1 I speak to on even a monthly basis. Another one 4-6x a year and the other two when I see them -- 1-2x over 5 years.

Put some thought into it, but don't worry over it. Once you decide, go with it and be done. I can only recall maybe one gift I got over 6-7 weddings as a groomsman. As far as actual suggestions, it would be a small-ish knife -- something most guys would either EDC or have near their keys/wallet/phone to carry when they wanted to. The other suggestion is a small flashlight.

after being in a ton of weddings I paid for everybody's tux at mine. On the other hand the only thing I have from all of the weddings I've been is is a case knife with my name on it.

I have engraved business card holders.

Obvious choice for "outdoors" type guys is a skinning knife.

I gave custom tooled leather business card holders from a local saddle maker here in Amarillo.

at my brother's wedding he gave us bottle openers made from rail road spikes with our last name and the date of the wedding engraved, in a bag with a cigar and a beer. It was pretty bad ass

AggieLawyer, I am related to two of my groomsmen so that helps keep the numbers higher. I have not seen my best man though in over 8 years. He moved to Colorado right after my wedding, and has since moved all over the west and we seldom seem to cross paths.

August 27, made sure not to have it during hunting or football season.

Also thank you for all the suggestions.
