Your favorite/most cherished groomsman gift
Lots of stuff over the years but the one that still sees lots of use is a nice fancy large heavy glass mug with my monogram on it.

I got a M-94 Winchester in 44 mag once, but that was very special. I can't think of any others I still have. A flashlight or knife would be nice.

The only gift I still have is a flask from the groom...

I gave my groomsmen a fifth of really really good whiskey...

I know that makes it sound like I'm a lush, but I'm not...I've lost keychains, pocket knives and other small things...

My favorite is the enormous wine glass etched with my initials from my sister's wedding. I think it holds 2 1/2 bottles of wine.

Most useful one I've received was backpack/cooler combo. It gets used frequently when hitting the pool or beach. I've also got a couple of flasks and a knife, but they don't get used.

For my first (short lived) marriage 20 years ago, I gave my all my groomsmen nice heavy duty duffel bags with their names embroidered on them. They loved getting them, and I think they all still have them...

My best gift was a Swiss Army knife but since this is a Sig forum and you didn't mention your budget I would think a 320 with a nice engraving would certainly be remembered fondly...

My favorite was a zippo that was engraved with a picture of us from high school.
For my wedding all of my best men were firemen and I put my wood burning skills to the test and made plaques with a fire helmet and each ones badge number on the shield on the front.

I gave SOG twitches and aa streamlights to my groomsmen. The knives were laser engraved with first initial and last name. They all still tell me how much they use them 4 years later.

I wish I would have gotten the Man Card wallet sized bottle openers for my buddies. When your together who ever doesnt have these has to buy the drinks. I would also think they could be engraved.
