What to get your ring bearer

Do you remember these lines from Robert Southey’s lullaby?

What are little children made of?

Earwigs and snails and puppy tails

That’s what little kids are made of

So when it comes to choosing ring bearer gifts, it becomes quite a challenge to mix the elements of fun and meaning. This isn’t a birthday present you’re choosing for a little boy, so you want something that will stand out, something he can keep for years to remember the big day he was a ring bearer. However, it must be something that you should love and enjoy having. That’s the crux of the matter when it comes to choosing gifts for your ring bearer.

Just because it’s a little boy is no excuse to dig things out of the ring bearer’s gift rack. The fact that he is a little boy makes the task of choosing the right thank you gift a bit difficult because what a little boy wants is different from what a big boy wants and no two boys are the same. What Jack would love, little Jim won’t want to have. There you go.

So what to give a little boy? You can choose a silver yoyo, a silver train bench, or a custom Rowlings mini baseball bat. But you don’t give a three-year-old a mini bat, who prefers giant coloring books. You can also give him a box of lollipops with personalized wrappers if you want him to enjoy the gift to the fullest.

Choosing Ring Bearer Gifts

The job of choosing ring bearer gifts is easy if the boy is your nephew because you know what drives him crazy. Perhaps you’ll settle for two gift items: one for your immediate pleasure and one, which your mother will keep in the curio cabinet by the old wall clock until she’s old enough to appreciate the gift.

However, you can break the rules when it comes to giving gifts. You want to give him two gifts, go ahead. You want me to have a bike, why not? There is no hard and fast rule when it comes to choosing gifts, as long as it is in good taste.

Plus, you’ve heard many times that you have to play with your budget when shopping for gifts, especially if you have other things to worry about for the wedding party. But while your budget may be an issue, don’t worry too much because gifts for ring bearers come in different price ranges. After the budget, there are two things to take into account, the age of the boy and his interests.

Take the time to shop for gifts for the ring bearer and until you are satisfied with your find, which means it will be something that is sure to wow your ring bearer. Making a rushed purchase can end in lifelong regret, so don’t rush. It will take a while before you can latch on to a good find, but then it will be worth the wait.
