Wedding gift suggestions?

Childhood friend is getting married in two months(Guy to guy). He does very well for himself(he said he made more than 7 million last year). It shows. What am I to give this guy? He has a ton of big dollar toys(yachts, exotic cars, multiple homes etc) What would be suiting here? Me giving him $400 dollars for a gift wouldn't make an impact on his day.

As Mom always said “it’s the thought that counts”. Give him a gift certificate to a nice restaurant and tell him that you’re happy for him.

Give him a 6-pack of Hamms or Schlitz.

Have a good one.

My wife and I usually give a nice blanket or embroidered with their names and the date on it, or a set of towels with just their names( like his and hers). It' fairly inexpensive, but the impact is awesome. The guy may think it a little sappy, but the wife will love and cherish it trust me. The blanket is something that she can display on a bed, couch, or back of a chair. The towels, well you know what they do. You get the idea.

That’s the way I read it.
The world is changing. The good news is I have not noticed that their condition is catching. I have been around a few folks that were gay and it just does not bother me. They have their love life and I have mine.

guy to guy

Its my best friend, who is a guy. I am a childhood buddy that is going to his wedding. I just want to clarify that I am a "guy" giving a gift to a "guy". I am not gay.

I just don't want anyone to assume that all member on here are all men. I have heard of women members here.
