Getting married in 10 days. Looking for an idea for a unique gift.

I have 6 Groomsmen and a $300 budget.

Thoughts?

Decent matching knives i.e. Kershaws from wal-mart. Get the blades engraved at a local trophy or jewelry shop.

$50 each? That's a reasonable bottle of Scotch or a really good bottle of Bourbon for each of them.

This.

I was in a wedding almost 15 years ago and we received really nice Gerbers from the groom. I still carry it everyday.

Yup.
When in doubt: liquor and cigars (when blasters and women are not an option)

Not $50, but my wife got me a Stanley flask for a stocking stuffer last year.

Filled with a certain type of whisky (Glenmorangie's always good), it should answer the mail.

After all, TR himself carried his poison in one...

For reference, I got my best man a bottle of MacAllan cask strength. He was more than happy.

If they're not already, how about 1 or 2 year memberships in the NRA?

I gave mine a nice pen with their names engraved on the pen caps for each of them.

It's really hard to go wrong with knives, zippo (http://www.zippo.com/product.aspx?id=1024334) windproof lighters, cigars or whiskey.

I give the guys I work with a nice gift every year for Christmas. Two years ago, I gave them each a Fenix LD15 Flashlight.
Simple, 115 lumens bright, 3" long, not much larger than the AA battery it uses, and not single one of them has failed with constant EDC by about half the guys.

I don't think I have ever been thanked more for a gift. It's like every time that light saves them some frustration or heartache, they thank me again.

I am a SureFire guy but my EDC is this Fenix. If a jewelry store can engrave on something round about the diameter of a AA, there is plenty of room to engrave on the body of the light opposite the logo.

I bought the lights from these guys and they treated me great class. Fenix LD15 Light Link (http://www.fenixtactical.com/fenix-ld15.html) but it is a common light available from a lot of places.

But maybe it's just me...

If they have office jobs, an engraved pen is nice. I think engraved money clips are nice also.

Of course the best gift is a tippsy, good looking bridesmaid- from out of town. They will always fondly remember your wedding...

I gave mine nice pens. Nice bottle of Scotch or Bourbon can't be beat either.

I would vote for the knives (maybe Spyderco Delica), flask or liquor. Although I really like the NRA membership idea and the lower receiver is just flat out fantastic.

I got my groomsmen 4sevens preon 2 flashlights. They come in very nice boxes that look high society and don't need to be wrapped. The cool thing is each of my groomsmen took to carrying these pen sized flashlights on a daily basis.

If you are going to spend the money, give them something they will actually use and appreciate.

$45 a pop.

Ammo. :p

Seriously though, I'd agree with the guys with the knives/lights, maybe a cool flask if they're into that. Should be something to keep and remember. And you could also get one of the above engraved to give it a more personal touch too.
My dad still has a swiss-army style knife he got at one of his friends' weddings....
