What do you get a best man as a thank you gift? Ideas please!!

Hi,

I get married this coming Friday.

I'm struggling to think of a gift to get my best man.

I've thought about all the usual stuff, like hip flasks, Sgian-Dubhs etc.

Another friend of ours was married last year and he gave the same fella that will be my best man, an engraved Sgian-Dubh, so that idea although traditional, is out.

We are both operational firefighters and I thought about maybe a good quality multi tool like a Gerber or Leatherman tool?. Maybe getting it engraved with something to remember about the event?.

What ideas do you lot have for best man gifts?.

Thanks.

LOL!!!!......at the replies.

Yeah, I'm thinking an engraved multi tool is the winner thus far. :cool:

Depends how much you want to spend but a watch would be really nice (or an iphone 3g.... everyone wants one of those right?).

Engraved Leatherman sounds like a nice idea, one with a built in fire extinguisher (sp?!)
