Watches. Get them each a watch you think will suit their lifestyle. I also like the gift certificate idea to a really nice restaurant.
No offense to the engraved mugs idea but how many mugs and coffee cup type gifts does one person really need to get in their life time?

The gifts mentioned in this thread aren't unique. Seems like what is commonly given. You want to give something unique? Might I suggest a chinchilla. That will be unique, and they have a friend for 15 years.

You could upgrade that to a flying squirrel. Just think you could tie a string to his leg, run real fast and have a living kite!

I bought all my guys humidors (sp). One of my other buddies dad's own a cigar shop in central America so I got him to send me up a box of cigars and stocked them as well.

I guess it depends on how much lifetime you've had? I was 24 when I got married last year, and lots of the guys I had in my wedding party are still in college or apprenticing, and for them it's probably the nicest beer mug they have... and definitely the most unique.

That is a kick-ass gift.
The humidors, and the autographed NHL photos are the best ideas in this thread by far.
Also, congrats to Jiri!

Dude. Next time you get married. Call me up. Seriously, I'd do it for a humidor full of Cigars. Actually, I have my own humidor, I just want the cigars!

I went to that website. I liked the personalized college football stadium picture, with the name in the stands.

I heard if you go by some bridges you may find some puppies.

My buddy gave me a nice stein, and a framed picture of the original Yankees Stadium. Each member of the party got something specific to them, which was nice.
Another buddy gave some nice cufflinks. They are nice.

I did watches for my groomsmen and best man. They all loved them.

I got married a few weeks back at a golf course...
Brought all my groomsmen out for a round of golf on me prior to the wedding and had the photographer ride shotgun for the first 6 or 7 holes. We should get back a ton of pictures of us living it up.
It was a great time and a good memory for all of us rather than a gift i know they will either lose, or never use.
I do like the cigar gift as well as the personalized posters though.

Never thought of it that way. In that case, well played sir!

I personally like the idea of a "wedding party" gift that is the same for everyone plus a more personal little gift for each individual. In the two weddings I've been in, the wedding party gifts were a small engraved pocket-knife, and a mini maglite/keychain also engraved with my initials. Then I got a really nice hat and some Flames stuff from one groom, and a 40oz bottle of Havana Club from the other.
I realize that it might seem pretty expensive, but I really appreciated both gifts as a groomsman; something lasting and forever associated with being part of the wedding, as well as something more "temporary" and personal.
