Default Good gifts for groomsmen?

Need to pick out gifts for my groomsmen soon, so I come to OOT for ideas. Has anyone ever gotten anything really cool or heard of someone giving/getting a neat gift for being a groomsman in a wedding?

There's six of them, three are married. All big sports fans. Like to go out and drink beer, etc. Typical guys. 27-31 years old.

I'd like to stay away from the run-of-the-mill money clip or something generic like that. I'd be willing to spend up to ~$150 per.

Ideas??

Best gift I've gotten was a personalized Ping putter. Most of the other ones I've gotten are lost or in the bottom of a closet somewhere.

Get them some cool sports memorabilia. Like autographed and framed collectors cards of their favorite athletes or whatever. Get some nice plaques made at an engraving store or whatever and put those on the frames so your friends are reminded of the wedding etc.

My Brother in law got an Ipod shuffle. That was pretty cool. I also like the silver engraved flasks or beermugs. I know they are standard, but they aren't bad.

very nice pocket knives. Zilpo lighters. Really depend on if there is alot of them ro a few and how close there are u to u or the bride. Thats what it has seemed like anytime I have been a groomsmen. I got two nights in vegas when I was the best man. I was also the only one in the wedding party on his side.

My cousin's husband got us all engraved pocketwatches, which we all then wore with our tuxes for the weddig, which I thought was really cool. But then again, I actually wear a pocketwatch every day cause I'm not a big fan of the wristwatch.
