My wedding is coming up and I need to get a gift for my best man who is also my brother. I didn't want to go the lame cliche way and get him some alcohol related gift. I wanted get something that relates to him and is personal to us as brothers. So here we go.

First is a ping pong paddle case. He is big into ping pong and I think he would get some good use out of it.


Second is some socks from Stance. I would get him two pairs, LSU and Street Fighter II. We both went to LSU and played Street Fighter II as kids.



Last, is a vinyl record with our favorite band 311 etched into it. 311 was our favorite band growing up and we still listen to them today.


Sorry for the long post, but what should I get him?

This.

Although everyone is different.

If I just got some socks, I think I'd have a serious case of face.

If I had to pick one I'd go with the ping pong case first...unique.

Then I would go with the record.

Socks...in any format are never a fun gift IMHO.

Good luck and congratulations.

If this is a high bar for you guys, I cannot fathom how lame the bachelor party he throws you will be.

def dont go alcohol related. keep it something that is meaningful for a long time. My best man was my brother and bc we fish and hunt together a lot I got him a browning fillet knife with his name engraved in the blade. also got the rest of the groomsmen engraved fillet knives too as we all hunt and fish together alot so it was fitting for everyone and to distinguish his from the rest I just got his with a custom handle was well and the rest just the standard handle but all the same blade.

You know him better than anyone on the OT. Unless he is a poster on the OT, then you know him second best

Probably playing at an Indian casino or state fair so it shouldn't be hard to get.
