How many dudes, what's your budget, how old are they (average)?
I've received:
cocktail shaker (I use it often)
silver cigar tube: monogrammed (never use)
Silver cufflinks: monogrammed (c'mon!)
I think that's about it.
So, you can either go with something realy special and monogrammed, that they'll have in a box in the back of their sock drawer for a long time (see above), or something they can really use but not necessarily eternal (iTunes gift card?)
Or, maybe a happy medium like a big Maglite (you can even get these monogrammed) or a golf thing. GOlf things are a no-brainer. If you're doing one of those "vacation/weddings" you can get them something that coincides with the destination.
Hawaii? Snorkle set
Mexico? Sunscreen and juaraches.
Miami? Trojan condoms and hangover meds
Canada? Ummmm...Canadians help me out.
Point is, the traditional stuff I've gotten was usually met with a collective "Hmm. Thanks" But the unique stuff: golden.
