    We are probably going to buy them cufflinks to go with their outfit. I will be getting the bm's jewellry to wear on the day, so it seemed like the male equivalent.

    Our best man got a best man key ring, then a dog tag necklace that has a usb stick in it. Then one of our ushers is a smoker, he got a personalised gas lighter, and the other usher just got some normal dog tags. They was all really pleased with their gifts.

    my h2b was best man for his best man and was given an engraved hip flask (not that he uses it) and it sits on our mantle peice and reminds him of his speech.
    I was thinking of getting the best man something to do with fishing (big fisher like my h2b)
    and the two ushers a miniture with an engraved glass such as a tankard or a whiskey glass etc.

    You can buy novelty cufflinks on ebay for £9.99 with so much choice, handcuffs for a policeman or stethoscope for a Dr or even scissors for a hairdresser!!

    we are not using ushers either, but I have been wondering what to get the best man. We dont want the obvious hip flask thing (sorry to those that have!) cause we know our BM already has one and my H2B has 3 that he never uses!

    thinking something to do with golf,they are both keen golfers

    We arent having ushers as such but there are a few of the guys that are helping out with various jobs over the day so going to get them a something small they all got engraved glasses from my first wedding so had better not do that again. Will probably get cufflinks. I already bought h2b and best mans so need to look around for some

    Cufflinks is a good one, becuase they have a practical use as well as being a gift!

    I got our best man and ushers the money pots you smash ; terramundi pots, saying thank you on them as i know all the normal presents you can get for them they wouldn't use so they seem a bit of waste of money xx

    Best man is h2b's brother so leaving that one to him - but think he'll be buying something in the way of technology or games because that's what he's into. The usher is my 17 yr old son - and again, he's into computer games and gadgets so it'll be something like that.

    Got best man cufflinks, one side is a hammer and other is pliers as he's a buider! lol
    Haven't done the ushers yet though as one is H2B's son who doesn't even own a suit, so no point getting cufflinks and not even sure who the other one is!!!
