Gift for mister of honor???

Question

I have my best guy friend standing up as my maid of honor!

I don't want him to get the same gifts as the guys standing in the wedding!

This wedding isn't for another 2 years but i'm brainstorming and trying to stay ahead of the game!

Answer 1

Since he is your Mister of Honor, he doesn't really have any expectations.  It's not like it would look odd if you didn't get him the same gift as the maids.  In fact--it may be weird if you DID.  

So I'd just come up with a budget and get him a few great gifts just like if it was a birthday or Christmas.  I mean that's the basic idea.  You are thanking this person for being there with you on your special day.  

It could be anything really.  Some video games.  DVDs.  Something for his car.  Something you know he wouldn't get himself but really really wants.  My good friend got all his groomsmen camping stuff.  Yours may prefer a new sewing basket or some fabric.  But it doesn't need to be something for the wedding.  I think something a bit more personal is a great idea.  Something monogrammed is great for some but would your friend really like a flask with his initials on it, or will he just throw it in a drawer somewhere never to be used.

I love when destination weddings do something for the theme.  They give the bridesmaids a beach tote, a giftcard to a local sunglass place, beach towel, some sunscreen.  Or if your MOH has just moved into a new house, something for the house would be great. Like I said, this is just a gift to thank him so get him a gift like any other time of the year--just stay away from gift cards.  They are the most impersonal thing imaginable.

Answer 2

Lol, I have no idea! Thing is, if he is such a brilliant friend of yours, you should know him better than we ever will and be able to pick something. We dont know styles, opinions, tastes etc. Sorry, I know its a sh*t answer but I dont know the guy!
