Gifts at weddings are customary—and not just for the bride and groom. The bridesmaids, maid of honor, groomsmen, and best man all get trinkets, too. Today, we're here to talk about the latter. Shopping for your best man isn't an easy task though—you might not know where to start. No need to stress, we’re here to help walk you through the process.

Your best man should get the best gift of all your groomsmen. After all, he’s the one putting in the most effort of the group, given, traditionally, it’s the best man who plans the bachelor party and helps most with the prep leading up to the big day. To honor his efforts, you should look for items that he’ll actually use (because nobody wants random party favors that just take up space) or can be customized to show that you’re willing to put the extra effort into thanking him for his friendship.

To help you get the ball rolling, we’ve rounded up more than two dozen gifts perfect for your best man (which, BTW, you’ll give them at the rehearsal dinner or as you’re getting ready on the day of your wedding). There are options for every budget including a Parachute bathrobe, AirPods Pro, a Coach brief, and more, so all you have to do is pick the gift he'll love the most.

1. For the one who loves his accessories: Michael Kors reversible belt

Whether your best man has a big meeting coming up or a fun date on the horizon, he'll love this reversible belt.
