Travel-Themed Gifts

• After getting married, you may not be traveling with your best man as much as you did in the past, so a travel-themed gift is a nice reminder of all the good times that transpired. Splurge on some luggage or a quality handbag for weekends away. Some smaller gifts could include a toiletry bag, travel pillow and blanket to keep warm on chilly flights. Small details such as travel tags and a travel journal make thoughtful gifts.
  
  

Sports-Themed Gifts

• Giving your best man tickets to his favorite sporting event makes a much-appreciated thank-you gift. Some sporting events can be pricey, however, so if such a gift is out of the budget, give a piece of sporting equipment instead.
  
  A soccer ball or basketball is an easy and inexpensive gift. If you can afford something a little more steep, a tennis racket, squash racket or golf club all make excellent gifts. Sports paraphernalia also makes a good choice for the avid collector.
  
  

Alcohol-Themed Gifts

• Bonding over drinks is an ancient male ritual, one you and your best man have most likely partaken of on more than one occasion. The drink of choice can be the gift, but if you are looking for something a little more creative, get a small, engraved flask. It makes a great personal keepsake.
  
  Pewter mugs can also be engraved if the best man is a beer aficionado. Bar accessories, such as martini shakers, ice-bucket and bar signs can also make appreciated presents; so can a traveling bar.
  
  

Shared Hobbies

• Movies and music were probably involved in your downtime shared with friends. A popcorn popper, universal remote or DVD player can make practical gifts. MP3 players or iPods will make any music lover happy. Car-themed presents, such as key holders and headsets, are also practical ideas.
  
  Tools make a great gift for the handyman who enjoys fixing things. These gifts take an individual's personality and interests into consideration, so if put some thought into selecting one of these options and the gift will be enjoyed and appreciated.
