And with Debrett's wedding list partner, The Wedding Shop, being nominated recently for Best Gift List in the British Wedding Awards 2019, there's no better time to register for your gift list with Debrett's and The Wedding Shop.

So, forget about toasters, dishes and silver service cutlery, we've selected the wedding gifts men really want.

Sit back in your favourite armchair, take a sip of whisky and close your eyes. Momentarily, you are Don Draper. Or, at least, drinking from this classic, sleek Dartington Crystal whisky glass you can pretend to be.
