A Best Man’s Gift That Won’t Gather Dust

If you’re like most soon-to-be-married men, your soon-to-be-married brain is likely swimming with a complicated mix of thoughts. One moment everything is, “I can’t believe the coolest woman I know is going to be my wife,” and the next, “I’m going to have to use a hamper every day for the rest of my life. Sometimes I want to leave my clothes on the floor. Am I really ready to give that up?” The fact is, you are ready. Ready to use a hamper, ready to open a refrigerator every morning that contains more than beer and condiments, ready to give up the bachelor life and be a good husband, even if that means scented candles will become a part of your every day. That doesn’t mean that you are ready for the actual wedding, however! But someone who is likely helping you on that path to ready is your Best Man.

Whether your Best Man is your brother, your closest childhood friend, or your college roommate, chances are they are a huge part of some of your best memories. Naturally, you’ll want them to be standing by your side as your bride-to-be walks slowly down the aisle with life on the married side just moments away. But there’s a lot of preparing to get you to the point where you’re nervously shuffling your feet at the altar. Everything from choosing tuxedos to choosing the alcohol you’ll have at the reception takes time and patience, and your best man is there to help make your decisions easier and your sailing smoother.

So how to thank him? In the past you may have shown gratitude by letting him have one of your chicken nuggets or letting him use the PlayStation controller that works better than the other one. And while those gestures will likely never lose their appeal, for something as important as being your Best Man in your wedding, you have to up the ante a smidge. And no, we don’t mean you should give him two of your chicken nuggets! We’re thinking something more along the lines of a Môntrèk Diver Watch. A gift that is sure to surprise him in its luxury and thoughtfulness…a gift he’s certain to appreciate every day he slips it on his wrist…a gift that lets him know that no matter what happens or where your lives take you, you’ll always make time for your best friend.
