Find a pen maker and get orange acrylic pens made.
Like this one I bought this week:

Although a bottle of Gentleman's Jack is always a good gift.

I got a buddy an engraved "VFL" flask when he got married and wish I would have given them as groomsmen gifts. I got it at the Things Remebered store in the mall.

I really like the pen idea.
I also got a decanter once (see link). He was a UT grad, but lived in Atlanta, so he had UGA and UF fans in the wedding party too. The groom bought them online, and he was able to get each person their team, which was cool.....and to another posters idea, every bottle of gentleman jack has been in it since....
iPod nanos are good idea, but it depends on the size of the wedding party and your budget. They can be engraved too.

Most people really don't use a flask or cigar holders- I have several stuffed in a drawer.
The biggest problem with a flask is it does not hold enough!

I'm getting married in June. I'll be giving my groomsmen a bottle of Maker's Mark with one of the specially made Maker's Mark drinking glasses.

I carry this S.O.G. twitch pocket knife with me everyday. (I think they retail for about $40). It has a smooth side that would be great for engraving it you wanted to get that done.

I did personalized baseball bats and they seemed to go over pretty well...even though they were not big baseball fans. You could probably do the same thing with footballs or basketballs...depending on your sport of choice.
One of my groomsmen is a frequent poster so maybe I will find out how well they really went over!! Ha ha!!

Guys will get several mugs, etc.
I have seen the baseball bats, and they are cool. I got mine a big, nice duffel bag and got them monogramed.
I have been married for almost 15 years, and two of the guys used their duffel bags last March on our spring training trip.
