drkillemquick Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I am trying to think of a good gift to give my best man at my wedding, any good suggestions? Have you received anything that you thought was pretty cool! Help??????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leatherneck Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 When I was best man in my best friends wedding a few months ago he got me a pair if night vision goggles. Since you can hunt hogs and dogs at night in Texas, that was a awesome gift. I love them:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I gave my best man an expensive CD box set. When I was a best man I received a nice Terry Redlin hunting print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beagleboy Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I gave my best man a gold money clip with his initials and a diamond chipon it . When I was the best man, the groom gave me a real nice watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 i recieved a real nice silver mug with my name engraved on it. that was pretty cool. all the groomsmen had them to drink out of at the reception:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I gave my best man a gift certificate to Bass Pro Shops! That way he could pick out what he wanted. He wasn't into hunting, fishing only. So if your best man is into hunting, a gift certificate for either Cabela's or Bass Pro would be nice!

dogdoc Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I think it would depend on what your bestman's hobbies are. If he is a big golfer a nice pair of golfing gloves or even a gift certificate to his favorite golf store. If he hunts or fishes a gift certificate to Cabelas or BPS would work.

popgun Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 When I first read this post I thought maybe this was just a Canadian custom...Then the replies started coming in and I thought it was just a Northern custom. Now the replies are coming in from the South and Midwest. I must be really out of touch, because I never even heard of such a thing. I was married in a foreign country 38 years ago, and although the local custom was for the groom to pay for everything, there were no gifts or gratuities for the best man involved. ....popgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJR Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 If I remember correctly, I bought my bestman a beer about 2 months after we were married! I was also his bestman at his wedding and the cheapskate never gave me anything! LOL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfletch7441 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 My two brothers were my best men and only groomsmen, and I bought them a nice Leatherman and mag light. I thought they could keep them in their trucks for emergencies, and that's actually what both of them said they were going to do with them.
