Anyone have any suggestions? we’re on a budget, so i’m talking classy, yet thrifty 😉
 
This may not be what your looking for, but I gave my groomsman matchbook sized radio controlled cars ($20 each).

It was a lot of fun, and a little different. I could not afford anything classy that I felt they would really use for a long time.
 
my daughter got hatboxes and decorated them with appliques or decoupage or something like that, and gave one to each of the girls with her flowers and headband & matching earrings in it. guys got free admission to a golf outing held the day before the wedding (in lieu of a bachelor party)
 
I gave jewelry that matched the bridesmaid’s dresses. I think my husband did the flask thing.

I like the hatbox idea.
 
I wasn’t really into the flask thing, because if you think about it how many people use flasks now? Instead of flasks, I did the engraved mugs.
 
I gave my bridesmaids little silver necklaces that would go with their dresses, and boxes of Godiva chocolates. Not too expensive (the necklaces were $15 each, and the small boxes of Godiva were $8 or $10), and a big hit.

My husband gave Best Buy certificates to his groomsmen- also a big hit.

We also only three bridesmaids and three groomsmen so that helped keep costs down. I have no idea how the couples with 8 or more bridesmaids and groomsmen manage!
 
I gave the groomsmen each a personalized pen/pencil set, engraved with their name. My wife gave bridesmades each a personalized necklace. My advice, make it personal and practical.
 
My bridesmaids got rosaries which they also carried in the wedding. Can’t remember if my husband got anything for the “dudes”.
 
I gave my groomsmen engraved pocket knives. They were both elegant and useful items. I also gave my best man a prepaid gas card.
 
Necklaces and pocketknives

Or one of those small pocket tool things
for both!
