I need to get a present for my Best Man and would appreciate some good ideas. I was his BM a few weeks ago and got an iFlip HD for my troubles which was awesome. I'd like to return the favour with something of similar value(~£150 i think) on my wedding day (about 3 weeks away).

He's into Cars / Gadgets / Music - so something along those lines is probably the best place to start.

Ideas discounted so far:

+ Rent a Racecar at the ring (or other track) - too pricey
+ Posh Cufflinks - got him some for his 30th
+ Digital camera / ipod / video camera etc - can't get a good one for the budget plus like any self respecting bloke he has all this stuff anyway.

Just looking for flashes of inspiration really!

Cheers,

Chris

Surely the best present is first pick of the bridesmaids?

Get him an iFlip HD. They're probably cheaper now than a few weeks ago so you'll be in profit.

Hire him a sports car for the weekend, Aston, Lotus something like that.
Holiday Vouchers or a weekend away for him and his misses in a decent hotel in the UK.

They're handing out gifts to best men now?! I got stuff-all when I was best man a few months ago.

And I had to pay for my own plane ticket to a country 6000 miles away yikes

I feel truly aggrieved at this injustice of which I have been the victim wink

A nice pen's not a bad shout.

iFlip - hehe. You're probably right about making a saving on it!

As mentioned above, a nice pen is a good start.

Phone numbers, addresses and pre-event photographs of all of the single women attending the wedding.

It's the gift that keeps on giving (but could of course result in jail time).
