Original Gifts for a Best Man
Your best man isn't just anyone---he's the person you chose above everyone else to stand by your side during your wedding. When it comes to thanking him for his support, don't give your best man just any gift. Find an original and individualized present to show how much he means to you.

Caricature Art
-
Amplify your best man's goofy side---as well as his other characteristics---by getting a caricature created of him. This style of art, which exaggerates an aspect of a person's features or personality, will be a gift he probably doesn't have already. You could also opt to include yourself in the picture, to feature a special memory of you two or even the wedding itself. A variety of websites offer caricatures, including Caricature King. Customers send in a photo they want recreated into a caricature, and an artist will sketch and color an original piece in ink.
Sports Tickets
-
After he's rooted for you during your wedding, let your best man relax and cheer for his favorite sports team by buying him a pair of tickets to a game. Whether it's baseball, football, hockey or rugby, think about which sport and team he likes the most. Pick a game date that doesn't interfere with the wedding festivities. If you purchase a pair, your best man can choose to take whoever he wants---although he'll probably be happy to take you.

Personalized Branding Iron
-
Many men take pride in barbecuing meat. Help your best man add his signature to cooked creations with a personalized branding iron. Online websites offer complete branding sets that are made just for the best man. The Groomsday website sells a branding iron with three personalized initials, in a set that also comes with a personalized box and wood plate.
Plan a Trip
-
Rather than presenting him with a pair of cuff links, give your best man an experience he'll remember for a lifetime by planning a trip for him. If he's an adventurer, consider sending him to the Rocky Mountains for a ski weekend. A beach vacation would be perfect for a guy who likes to kick back and relax. This can be a trip planned for him alone---or better yet, for the two of you a few months after the wedding festivities are over.
