Pretty simple - getting married soon and need to order some gifts for my groomsmen.
Anyone who has been a groomsmen recently, what was a gift that you actually really enjoyed and have kept with you since? Trying to do something a little more meaningful or thoughtful than the typical engraved whiskey kit / beer mug / lighter / etc. Not hating on those and certainly nothing wrong with those (have received and appreciated those types of gifts and have held on to them for many years), but also just want to do something a little more curated to each person or a type of gift that is less frequently done.
Example- I was a groomsman for my friend a few years back and he got each of us a sports jersey of each of our childhood favorite athletes. It made it really meaningful since the jerseys he chose for each of us was personal to our own individual childhood sports passion that he remembered years later as adults.
I have different interests in common with each of them separately, but the common interests true across all of us are: cocktails/liquor, sports (especially golf), shooting range.
Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!
For my marriage, I bought my groomsmen the suit which they attended the wedding in. We had a colour scheme so I figured it was both a nice gift but also had some utility. This is purely a personal opinion, but I prefer a gift that I'll actually use versus a souvenir-type gift. An idea which fits with that would be a really good spirit individually chosen for your groomsmen, like a special edition whisky or something.
I do agree though that the sports jersey idea is brilliant.
My friend who got married this past July got us cooler bags and leather jackets that had a patch on the front of our clan tab from Modern Warfare 2 (2009). was pretty nuts haha, can't imagine how much money he spent on just the jackets

Not sure what the budget is, but if you all like golf a stamped Scotty putter is a fun idea. No one is turning down a nice putter (even if it’s not their style they can mess with it in the living room or the office) and the stamping is so low key they aren’t going to made fun of for whatever you put on there. Could be as simple as a date.
Vokey wedges are a cheaper version of this idea too. Get everyone a 60 and tell them they help get you out of tough situations.
