Yay or Nay?

Trying to think of a good present for Best Man for our wedding, and cufflinks is the only think of thats practical and something he can keep



Or any other ideas would be gratefully appreciated

Look for the Paul Smith male grooming set on the internet. You get razor, soap brush stant etc. Quite cool

found loads of really nice paul smith cufflinks, might have a look at a grooming set

money clip a good idea but only if they dont use a wallet and carry lots of cash like you clive

Defo wont be getting gold ones, they look tacky

Thanks for comments ill get searching

I think a tankard is a good idea, also think cufflinks are good,

When I was a best man, I got a puter hip flask, nice but not much use to me!

My mate got a pocket watch, which went well with his tails suit, had "Best mate, Best man" engraved on the back too, was really nice.

Oh. My mate isn't, and neither was the bridesmaid in question. Was funny though.... Especially when se tried to sneak out the hotel in the morning in her dress looking a bit 'shagged' when she got lost and ended up in the dining room where EVERYONE was having breakfast. She got a round of applause

i think i prefer cufflinks to tankards, theyre a bit more "practical"

found some very nice ones, but ive got sooo many options at the minute just seeing if theres anything better coming along

oh and Just got Lee some Tiffany ones as a wedding present
