100 Worst Groomsmen Gift Ideas

Ever receive a bad gift? Maybe it was that hand-knitted bird sweater from your Grandma that led to a swift beat-down on the playground. Maybe it was that re-gifted pot holder that says "Sarah" on the gift tag (your name is Jim). Bad gift givers like to say something is better than nothing. We disagree. We polled groomsmen from all walks of life to find the 100 worst groomsmen gifts.
