Hi,

We are currently trying to arrange a gift for our best man and just cannot think of anything. We've exhausted the usual hip flask, cuff links etc and nothing seems suitable.

Does anyone have any unusual ideas to share?

Thank you!

    Pocket watch, engraved with his initials? I was thinking of getting one for my H2B :)

    Any hobbies or interests that he has? My brother got a signed framed photo of his best mans favourite band as his gift which went down well x

    Football tickets? Something autographed from a sportsman/celeb he admires?

    Voucher from yourselves for some kind of help (if he is short on cash) eg paint the house / service his car / babysit his kids so he can take his wife out?

    Sort of stereotypical Scottish gift but we have got them personalised stag horn kilt pins and lego cuff links to wear on the day as well as a 21 year old malt and a cigar.

    What about a proper Swiss Army Penknife, engraved with his name (and a suitable message?)

    Perfect gift for the man who's to be chief problem solver of the day!

    We had the same problem. In the end we bought posh chocolate from a local chocolate maker (in Knebworth) and an experience day (driving).

    This site has some ideas but you've probably already thought of all this stuff
