3 Tips in Choosing the Best Gift for Your Best Man

In order to come up with the best gift for your best man, you need to know his interests, you need to consider what he can actually use, and you must  also be able to distinguish his gift from those of your groomsmen to give his gift some special touch.

Just like everyone else in your entourage, your best man deserves the best gift there is to give.  You thank him for the role he plays both on your wedding and daily affairs.  Here are a few tips on how to pick the most suitable gift for your best man:

Know his interests

As in choosing all the other gifts for your entourage, it is important to consider what your best man's hobbies and interests are.  This way, you will be able to fully express your gratitude for his help and support.  If he is into sports, check out sporty gift items available in the market, such as logo-themed gifts, sports apparel, and sports memorabilia.  If he is a music lover, consider giving him concert tickets or Cd's and DVDs of his favorite artist.  If you know his interests, you are sure to give him the right gift he will always cherish.

Know what gifts he can actually use

Practicality is of the essence in choosing the perfect gift for your best man.  Think of something he can actually use, apart from knowing his taste.  Through this, he will always be reminded of how special he meant to you on your wedding day.  In our examples above, if he is the sporty type, you can check on sports equipment and sports apparel.  If he is a musician, you can opt for either musical instruments, Cd's and DVDs, or even song books he can play along with.

Distinguish him from the other guys in your entourage

It is important to give your best man some recognition and distinction at the same time.  This may not necessarily mean a more dignified gift over your groomsmen gifts, but giving him something different or something more will make him feel extra special.  Let's say for example that  your best man and groomsmen are big sports fans.   If you are planning to give your groomsmen game tickets for the football season,  why not give your best man the same game ticket that comes with a logo-themed shirt or jersey of his favorite team or player for the game?  This way, he can join the fun and he will feel more special for the role he plays on your wedding.  Be careful to stick to your budget, though.  On the other hand, you may choose to give him something totally different from those of your groomsmen and the other guys in your entourage.

Shop wisely to perfectly show gratitude to your best man.  Give him what he will love and always remember.  Yes, it is the thought that counts in giving, but the gift itself is how your thought is best expressed.
