Default Wedding Party Gifts / Alternatives to Glass Clanking

Ok. The day is t-minus... um... about 30 or so. In that neighbourhood.

We're onto the final planning and have stalled on a few things. First, I need to get the groomsmen gifts. I'm really at a loss. For me, I'd like to give them something they not only use during the wedding, but don't just chuck it in a drawer and never take it out. There are five groomsmen and my price range is probably around $50 per guy. I'd go higher if the present was right. As a point of reference, the last 3 times I've stood up, I've received a $50 Earls certificate, a nice classy hat and a pocket watch.

I don't really like the idea of a flask. I'd be interested in giving out event tickets or something like that, as I would find people would get enjoyment out of that.... but again, I struggle with the fact it's like giving a gift certificate at Christmas... very impersonal, but usually very practical. Any ideas?

Secondly, both my fiancee and I despise glass clanking to get kissed. I'm well aware that people are just going to do it anyways .. and continue clanking. It's hands-down the worst part of any wedding imo when it never stops.

We're thinking because it's at a golf course, we'd set up a small putting green and if you get it in one shot, we'll kiss. But what if people suck at golf? Still, it sounds fun.
