Mr. H Needs YOUR Help!

Last night, while Mr. H and I were eating dinner, the topic of groomsmen gifts came up. I've been bugging Mr. H for months to try and come up with some ideas, so we aren't stuck buying everything last minute. With less then 100 day until the wedding, it's looking like it will be last minute afterall. Here are a few ideas I came up with, all shot down by Mr. H:

1) Cufflinks - While a very popular choice, if we bought them sterling silver cufflinks with their initials engraved in them, it would be something they could keep forever, which I think is important.

2) Personalized Coolers - This is one of my personal favorites - how fun would it be to have a nice cooler embroidered with their initials, filled with their favorite beer and ready to go?

3) Ipods - While I think these are a great gift, some of the groomsmen in our wedding are technologically inadvanced and don't even have a computer, which is pretty necessary with one of these.

I have to admit, none of my ideas are super original. I guess that, while I've been thinking about the entire wedding and cute gifts for my girls, I've kinda let the poor boys get pushed to the back of my mind. When Mr. H and I were talking, and I couldn't think of anything, he asked me to use my best resources - the girls of the hive - to come up with some ideas. What are your fiances planning on giving their groomsmen (or what did your husbands give)? While we are trying to keep the pricing at a reasonable amount, I'd love to hear all ideas from every end of the spectrum!
