Stuck on gift ideas for the best man

AnnPH424

I was wondering if anyone on here has any ideas on what we can get our best man. The other groomsmen were so easy to find something for.

This guy is techy, he does not drink, he does not watch sports, he is married, his wife pretty much does everything or him, cooks, picks his clothes etc. We want to spend a max of $150. We are trying to make it a personal gift but I can't think of a single thing.

If you have any suggestions I would appreciate it. Thanks!

What about one of the new Ipod nano's -- they can be engraved.

<div>I probably would shy away from something like that.  Pretty much every techie (and, let's be honest, pretty much everyone else under the age of 45) already owns an MP3 player if they want one, and an engraved iPod can't be returned/exchanged if he doesn't have a need for it.</div><div>
</div><div>Are there any restaurants he likes?  Any other hobbies?  Any experiences he might like (like a food truck tour)?  Does he have any sartorial needs?  (even if his wife dresses him, he may need a nice tie or cufflinks so they may be appreciated even though they aren't exactly the funnest gifts)</div><div>
</div><div>Do you know what blogs he reads, if any?</div>

How about a spyderco engraved pocket knife?
An automatic watch
A surefire flashlight
Does he golf?

He has a motorcycle, a honda. I was thinking a tie from Brooks Brothers or something like that. They live in Summit, I could always get them a gift card to a local restaurant but I'm not sure if they have any favorites. He doesn't golf and I know he has two fairly expensive watches that I've seen him wear.

I think he would like surefire or the spyderco....I love gadgets and that is neat stuff!

Unless he wears a tie to work, I'd skip it........I wear ties only a few times a yr = waste of money.  Cuff link are a waste too, and will end up in a drawer somewhere (at least for me)

Love Roots steakhouse in Summit......I am sure he would love a GC for there as well.  $150 is a good amount and should cover or barely cover dinner for two.  Get one of those inexpensive money clips or money clip wallets and deliver the GC in that....that way long after the dinner he at least has something to remember your wedding by.  Tiffany has some cool golf theme money clips if he is into golf......

Thanks User! I think he would appreciate the giftcard and I like the money clip idea as a presentation idea.

I know what you mean with the cufflinks. FI has about a dozen from different weddings he has been in.
