Best man gifts for poker players
Buying best man gifts can be a headache.
There are the traditional presents - best man cufflinks, best man hip flasks, best man socks - but what makes them special?
How about a poker theme?
The secret to a great best man gift is something that's memorable, personal, and practical. There's no point buying them something they'll never use and doesn't say anything about their personality.
So if your groomsman is a fan of the beautiful card game, then a poker themed wedding gift could be perfect.
Here we have compiled a list of the best best man gifts for poker players - complete with card-playing takes on traditional presents and some surprises to give you wedding gifts ideas.
