Best Groomsmen Gift? Opinions Wanted!!!

So like the title I need opinions, ideas of the best or most practical or something you would actually want for a gift for my groomsmen ...

I have looked high and low, and not impressed also not feeling the whole drinking themed gifts -

My idea thus far since i got one and thought it has been the best gift i have almost ever gotten is the Leatherman multitool, another idea although i dont know if i can afford to get 5 is the original Aviator and case sunglass kit -

Again i have four groomsmen no issues on gifts, one grroomsmen need to stay away from anything alcohol related (recovering from rehab)

Please take this with the utt-most respect thank you!

Got a nice money clip one year (with a flask though)
Phillies cufflinks and some tix
golf at a nice course
once got a bobblehead of myself
DEFINITELY love my leatherman
a handmade humidor (by the groom...get your wood skills up!)
a beer brewing kit (wasn't Mr. Beer either, seemed much more complete)

I'd love an afternoon karting, an open track day or something like that...could get $$ though.

The Leatherman (or Gerber) multitool is a great idea.

I like the idea of a go-kart event. You could probably get a discounted package of tickets and you get to have fun too.

Sorry bro, you missed the boat on that one! 4 years too late. haha.

What could be better than a Rolex watch? Maybe you should only have 1 groomsmen though...

Don't want to hijack this thread but anyone ever get pissed at people that have a wedding with 8-9 groomsmen and bridesmaids? I mean come-on! No one is that popular or has that many friends and if you do you need to cut the grass cause there are probably some snakes in it.

I've been in 8 weddings in the past 2 years...and I still don't own a tux.

Just get the same one fellas! That'd be the greatest gift of all...$1500 back in rentals! (It's been an honor to be in everyone and I had a great time at everyone though...so I kid). I think it's just a "I have to pick him too so I don't hurt feelings" things, then it becomes a "but his girl is going to be sitting out there all alone, and....HONEY?!!?!"

How many of them are car guys and how much so? A nice little car care basket or something? Some car wash, some wax, etc (not just OTC Pep Boys stuff either).

Dodo Juice makes nice small 30ml pots of wax for cheap...they'll do 3 or 4 cars a piece.

Thanks guys for the opinions-

I actually like the idea of the money clip - I actually saw a credit card wallet with money clip on back thought that was a good gift - engraved to -

Def. still like the leatherman although they stopped making mine (the core) so im trying to find one similiar that comes with a sheath too

Everyone is car guys but most live in the city and gave up there cars to do so!

Go Karting would be cool but i can't stand our local one, the guys in there are pretty worthless -

I was once in a wedding party where we all got different official nfl jerseys that was cool (of course i got a Giants one) -

While I was in Iraq I had flags flown in our F-16's and they came with certificates. I framed them and presented them to my groomsmen. Nothing useful, but definitely different.
