Thank you for sharing Wicked Bucks Parties
After all these years as buddies, your mate has finally admitted that you truly are the best man. What an honour, right? It’s an incredible title that shows just how much your friendship means to the man of the hour and how grateful he is to have you in your life. This title also gives you the opportunity to have your say in the big day and play just a small part in the celebration.
The first and probably most considered responsibility is planning a bachelor party – one that gives the groom the chance to let his hair down and ensures all the groomsmen are still talking about the celebration months down the track. There’s also the job of remembering to bring BOTH your tux and the wedding rings, write a totally embarrassing speech and make your toast at the reception.
So that’s where your job ends. Or so you thought! Although you may think your presence is a gift enough, it’s actually customary for the best man to get the groom a gift or organize a gift on behalf of the wedding party. After all, what’s a celebration without a gift to unwrap?!
But fear not, best men! Our friends at Wicked Bucks have come to the rescue. They’ve helped plan hundreds, if not thousands of buck’s parties across the globe. Over the years, they’ve seen guys from all walks of life search for the perfect present to gift the groom and they’ve pulled together some of their best ideas to give you a leg-up.
From crystal whiskey glasses to classic cigar sets, there’s a seemingly endless number of ways to congratulate your soon to be wed buddy and let him know just how much you seriously appreciate your friendship. Read to discover the top 5 best man gifts for the groom that really just say “I love you man”, without you having to actually say it.
Top best man gifts for the groom
1. Personalised leather goods
Ask any guy and most of them will tell you that quality leather goods are the sign of a well-dressed, sophisticated man. We’re sure all the ladies out there will agree with them too. There are plenty of different types of leather goods you can choose between, including everything from travel bags, briefcases and satchels to belts, wallets and laptop cases.
To give your gift an extra special touch, why not consider having the item personalised? You can personalised the leather goods with the groom’s initials, an inside joke or even a sentimental hidden message. You may also get matching items for everyone in the bridal party so that you all feel a little bit connected to each other on the big day.
2. Cufflinks
Help complete the groom’s wedding day attire or level-up his everyday business look with a pair of smart cufflinks. Even if he’s not the type to get dressed up everyday, your gift will be something that he can hold onto for years to come.
Just like those considering leather goods, you can also give your cufflinks an extra sweet touch by having them personalised. The personalisation options really depend on the style of your cufflinks. For those with leather finished, you can have his initials embossed, while those with complete silver or gold pieces can have them engraved by a jeweller or the manufacturer. Be sure to confirm which option is best for you before purchasing from your supplier.
3. Whiskey or cocktail glasses
No house is complete without a set of good drinking glasses. Whether the groom is a home entertainer or he just likes having them on display, a premium set will be something that he and his wife can hold onto for years down the track. Every time they pour a drink or make a toast, they’ll be instantly transported back to the magic of their big day. And that’s pretty special if you ask us.
The perfect set really depends on his drink of choice. If he’s someone that enjoys a whiskey on the rocks or gin and tonic, you may consider opting for whiskey glasses. A set of hand-blown glasses are a particularly nice option and will maintain their quality for many years. If he’s more of a martini drinker, a set of long-stem martini or cocktail glasses will certainly do the trick.
4. Travel gift card
The weeks leading up to a wedding are undoubtedly always busy. Between organising the big day, finalising invitations and ensuring the bridal party has everything they need, it’s not uncommon for the bride and groom to feel a little slower in the weeks immediately following the wedding. While some will head straight away for a honeymoon, others may save the getaway for a little down the track so that they’ve got something to look forward to or when it’s a little easier to take time off work.
For anyone not heading away for an extended break, you can’t underestimate the beauty of a short little getaway. Gift the lover-birds with a travel gift card and they’ll have the complete freedom and flexibility to choose exactly where they go and when they head there. It’s a super simple touch that’ll either give them the opportunity to unwind after the wedding or something to book in for a few weeks later.
5. Theragun
For anyone that doesn’t understand the hype of a theragun, you’ve obviously never tried one! If you really, really want to be the best, best man, you’ll gift the man of the hour with one of these! These massage guns provide a deep massage that’s perfect for relieving muscle aches and pains. With regular use, it’s designed to help with chronic discomfort and release any muscle tension or stress. The deep repetitive strokes are ideal for any dudes that are particularly active and need to warm down, or guys that spend long periods of time at the desk or driving.
