Best Man Gifts

Top Picks for Best Man Gifts

Your best man stood by you through thick and thin. Now it's time to show him you notice. These gifts aren't just boxes to check off—they're ways to say thanks that he'll actually use and remember.

What Makes a Great Best Man Gift?

Match It to His Life

The guy who lives in gym shorts needs something different than the one who wears suits to brunch. Think about what he actually does with his time:

• Whiskey guy? Get him something for his home bar
• Always traveling? Leather duffle bag or dopp kit
• Classic style? Cufflinks or a watch he'll wear
• Loves hosting? Barware or personalized pub gear

Keep It Real

Skip the generic "World's Best Man" stuff. Go for items with real craftsmanship—leather that ages well, steel that doesn't tarnish, wood that feels substantial. Personalization should add meaning, not just fill space.

Budget Smart

You don't need to drop $500 to make an impact. A $75 flask with thoughtful engraving beats a $200 gift basket full of stuff he won't use. Quality and thought matter more than the receipt total.

Top Gift Categories That Actually Work

Bar & Drinkware

Personalized whiskey glasses, engraved flasks, and custom decanters work for guys who appreciate a good drink. Add his initials or the wedding date—keeps it personal without being cheesy.

Practical Accessories

Leather duffle bags, toiletry kits, and money clips are gifts that earn their keep. He'll think of you every time he packs for a trip or reaches for his wallet.

Style Upgrades

Cufflinks, tie clips, and watches work if he dresses up regularly. These aren't sitting in a drawer—they're part of his rotation.

Experience Gifts

Poker sets, cigar accessories, and grilling tools give you both something to do together after the wedding chaos settles.

FAQs

What's the typical budget for a best man gift?

Most grooms spend $50-150, but it's not a competition. A $75 gift he'll use beats a $200 gift that collects dust. Match your budget to something with real quality and thought behind it.

When should I give my best man his gift?

The rehearsal dinner is traditional and works well—gives him time to show it off before wedding day chaos hits. Some guys hand them out at the bachelor party. Either works. Just don't wait until you're both stressed out on the wedding morning.

Should I get matching gifts for all groomsmen?

Matching looks clean in photos, but personalizing to each guy shows you actually know them. You can keep the same gift category (like flasks or dopp kits) but customize the engraving or add individual touches based on their style.

Can I personalize best man gifts?

Yes—names, initials, wedding date, inside jokes that aren't too inside. Keep it meaningful but not sappy. "Thanks for being there" works better than a paragraph of feelings engraved on a flask.
