best man

Though it isn’t your duty as the bride to shop for the best man’s gift, your fiance probably thought you’d do better at the task. So here you are, trying to find the right gift for your wedding’s best man and are already at your wit’s end. Don’t panic–buying a gift for a guy is not as hard as you think it is.

First things first, think like a guy and immediately drop any cute and cuddly gift ideas. As you may already know from your experiences, guys don’t have much of a use for those things. A gift that will make a guy tick is something that either reminds him of his childhood or boost his masculine ego. You could get him baseball memorabilia or accessories of his favorite sport or hobbies. A personalized Zippo lighter or hip flask will also do the trick. If the best man is a corporate guy, he’ll definitely appreciate it if you give him business card holders, a pair of nice cufflinks, or money clips.

Anything that’s fun and practical makes for the perfect present. All men love beer and glassware for his favorite amber concoction is something that he’ll enjoy while using. A poker set or casino set will also be appreciated since there’s never a shortage of poker nights at someone’s place.

As for colors, never go for pastels! Always choose items in silver or black. Navy colors and natural wood finishes like maple and oak colors are also great. Guys like their things as simple and low-key as possible; they wouldn’t want to be accused of being girly by carrying ornate accessories.

Put yourself in the best man’s shoes and think like a guy, and you can’t go wrong when shopping for his present. There are many online retailers that have a section just for best man’s gifts. If all else fails, consult your fiance and ask for his suggestions.
