Default Unique Groomsman Gift Ideas??

Hey all,
I'm getting married soon, and I'm having issues with what to buy my groomsman as a gift.
I'm looking to do something original. The engraved flask thing has been done to death.
Anyone have ideas?

Engraved pocket knife would be nice. Or an engraved money clip.

Engraving things is so 1970's.

MP3 player? Point and shoot camera? Hookers and Blow?

Pay for their tux rentals, especially if they're frequent groomsmen. There are more personal gifts, but it would be hard to find something that they'd appreciate more.

i am assuming that you know them all - and I would assume that you would be aware of different things that they each like.....failing that you could make each of them a mixed tape.

A subscription to their favorite magazine for a year or two?

A sex video of your bride - unique and intimate... plus it's porn!

A mixed tape, a magazine subscription... ?

How about slipping them a pair of sexy panties and telling them they are from one of the Brides Maids... Guaranteed smiles for you and them...

(and)
Take them out for a nice dinner before the wedding, and thank them.

A jar of roofies and a bottle of nice champagne. Then let nature take its course.

We gave iPod Nano's to our groomsmen. I've received a personalized beer stein, digital picture frame and Team Canada jersey. My brother-in-law gave each of the groomsmen a Wii. Though that's probably overkill.

If you're all buddies, tickets to a Flames game would be cool and another excuse to party. Jersey's are awesome. Personalized with their favourite player is even better but much more costly.

What's your price limit?

An ipod seems redundant. Who doesn't already have one these days?
