Make sure you mentioned all of the good things about the groom first before you get to the funny stuff. You can just get a card and jot down some of the most essential points when it comes to your speech.

This is not a great best man speech and the bride will be insulted. When it is your turn to speak, thank everyone for coming before you offer congratulations to the happy couple. If you are connected to the groom through family (brother, cousin, uncle…), talk about what the groom is going to add to bride’s family in terms of character.
Most important thing to remember is how much loving they have for each other.

As multiple people will most likely speak, the best man must insure his speech isn’t too long. Most likely, the maid of honor, parents of the bride and groom will also want to talk these days and more than 2 parents and stepparents, it is better to preserve its leadership, at least, so everyone has time to talk Using these ideas will ensure that your ‘best man speech” is unforgettable; so make sure you put the time into it that is needed and if you are going to speak from the top of your head, use index cards.

Regardless of whether it’s someone in your family, a good friend or a colleague, it can stretch your creativity. Maybe you’ve considered giving a gift basket. Sometimes, though, you think that it’s just not meaningful enough. Perhaps, however, you should reconsider. Giving a wine gift basket, for example, can be just the right thing, and it’s not that hard to make it personal either.

The recipient of your gift might be a wine connoisseur, or a complete beginner. Either way, wine baskets will be appreciated by anyone who likes a nice glass of wine. This is especially true if you make an effort to personalize the basket.

You can individualize your wine basket in so many ways that will make it truly special. First of all, you need to choose a variety or two of wine that will be appreciated. You can choose to include a single bottle of wine along with some other accessories. Or perhaps you’d prefer to arrange several bottles in an elegant display.

Even if you don’t know what wines to choose, you usually can’t go wrong with a few basics. Merlot, Chardonnay and blush are enjoyed by most wine lovers.

If you see a wine on sale, you might decide to get it just because it looks like a good deal. However, that isn’t always the best idea. If the wine store is offering samples, try it before you buy it. Otherwise, just go with a wine that you know is of good quality and will be appreciated.

When you’re creating a basket on your own, there are lots of great gift basket ideas you can use. For instance, you don’t actually need a basket in order to make a gift basket. A bowl, bucket or pot, appropriately decorative, could suffice just as well.

To truly personalize the basket, you can add a few items that reflect the interests of the recipient. For the avid golfer, include some golf balls, tees, and other small accessories. Many wine gift baskets also include some food items that go well with wine. Typically, you might find crackers and cheese, or fruit and chocolate, nestled beside the wine.

As well, there are wine baskets already prepared that are widely available. On the internet, it’s just so easy to find a good selection of products in almost no time at all. As long as you’re dealing with a reputable company, your transaction is secure. And shopping around for the best price doesn’t get any easier. Browse through a few sites, then choose the one with the best price and delivery options. Just don’t forget about shipping costs.

Mike is one of those ultra mens men, into rugby and football but too old to play now. A round of golf and propping up the bar at the end of the game is about his limit.

I said no way and laughed when Maxine made the suggestion. Mike is so cave mannish he won’t even use mens deodorant and only uses aftershave when he’s on a promise with his wife Rita. I could imagine the look on his face if I bought him a Celtic pendant or ring – it doesn’t bear thinking about!

Celtic jewellery was out of the question, so my search for something different began. As Mike has been a good friend since our school days I wanted to buy something pretty special for him. I was really flummoxed, no point in going down the cosmetic route and Mike doesn’t read much so books or book tokens were out of the question.

I looked at golf related gifts, but unless I bought something gimmicky there wasn’t anything that he really needed or would use. I like my gifts to be useful as well as different, no point in buying something that is not wanted or used.

I searched the shops in town for 3 hours and ended up with nothing but sore feet and disillusionment. There were plenty of gift packs for men – they are gearing up for Christmas earlier than ever this year – but they were just overpriced and nothing special.

When I got home I sat back comfortably on my sofa, lap top on knee, coffee at my side and searched the Internet. There was a lot more choice than in the shops – you could say that I was spoilt for choice. So much choice I still couldn’t decide what to get for Mike’s birthday present.

Out of interest I keyed ‘mens Celtic jewellery’ into a search engine and was totally astonished at what I saw. Unique, intricate, gorgeous designs that looked really special to me.

I loved the unique Celtic jewelry designs so much that I was keen to buy but then I pictured Mike wearing a Celtic bracelet, pendant or ring and just couldn’t do that to him unless as a joke gift before the main present. There was a neat dress watch with a Celtic bracelet, but I knew that Mike’s wife Rita had bought him a watch for his last birthday.

Then I clicked on a link and found exactly what I was looking for. A few weeks earlier I’d seen him at the pub and he’d been grumbling about it being cold on the golf course and it was in the middle of an English summer! With winter coming on it was a good idea to buy him a gift that he could enjoy, was useful and kept him warm whilst playing his favourite game.

That special gift idea was a hip flask with an intricate Celtic cross adorning the side. Brilliant! I knew that Mike would love that. Filled with his favourite brandy it would keep him warm on a cold English winter or summers day.

I also bought Mike a Celtic design key ring and fob and an early Christmas gift for myself – a really gorgeous pewter and malachite Celtic bracelet. The prices for Celtic jewellery are unbelievably low for such beautiful workmanship and the designs have special symbolic meanings.
