Most of your attendants are going to appreciate a gift that lightens the load on their pockets. Weddings are expensive on people's pocketbooks (OTHER than just the happy couple) but people often forget that as they get wrapped up in the couple's big day.
For the guys you could give them a gift certificate for the tux rental shop or pay for their shoes, ties, cuff links, etc. or if you'd rather get them something else give gift certificates to a nice restaurant or something like a gift certificate for omahasteaks.com (Excellent steaks).
Most attendants will later admit they either never use (or maybe didnt even like) the traditional gifts they received, so do the useful or extraordinary thing.

Unless your groomsmen are carbon copies of each other, why would you get them all the same gift? Get them each something different and unique to their personality. Here's what we gave our groomsmen:
Best Man who loves poker: Professional poker set
Groomsman who just bought a new house and is active duty Air Force: BBQ set, Air Force scrapbook to keep all his memories
Groomsman who loves video games and plays piano: sheet music for his favorite video games
Think about each person as an individual. They will appreciate your thought into the gift and will more likely enjoy the gift than if you get them all the same generic gift.

I got a real nice pocket knife from my brother for being in his wedding. All the groomsmen really liked that gift. I got a keychain for being in one. That was the worst gift.

Tickets to their favorite home team game... or watches. For my friend's wedding, he gave each of his groomsmen Fossil watches that match their personality... for the sporty one he got a sports watch, for the corporate one he got the stainless steel band style, etc...

We bought our entire wedding party tickets to a sporting event. We have AAA baseball in our area and they have tickets called "duck pond" tickets. With these tickets includes: your seat in front row by bull pen, all you can eat, and all you can drink (beer included). Everyone really loved it! Good luck!

depending on how close and how much it means to u. i, personnally, would plan to spend around 1-3 hundred on a watch or sumthing of that nature, but real nice and meaningful that will last a long time.

How about personalized cufflinks? They can be the same cufflinks so they match since everyone will be wearing the same style tuxes, but they can be personalized with each person's initials.
