Figuring out what to buy for the brother who has everything is always hard. While your besties might always welcome a new pair of shoes, men tend to be more minimalist in their preferences.
Not to worry: this post is here to help. We take a look at some cool and downright funky ideas for what to get the brother in your life. He’s your daily inspiration.
Timeless Accessories
One option is to get the man in your life a timeless accessory. While your brother might not like the idea of yet another set of socks, you might be able to tempt them with a collectible watch or a rare pair of sunglasses. Items with historical appeal are often irreplaceable and worthy objects to have in their own right.
Learning Options
You might also consider buying them a learning opportunity, something that will help them develop key skills. Numerous online courses and workshops can help them with everything, from cooking to coding.
Learning is a good gift because it helps your brother access the next stage in his life. Discovering something new about the world and putting it into practice invariably improves his quality of life and makes it more joyful.
Passes And Memberships
Another similar idea is to give your brother a pass or a membership to something you know he will enjoy. Paying a gym subscription or signing him up for a national park service lets him get exercise or go for long hikes without having to pay annoying entry fees.
Unique Décor
If you’re really running low on options, you could always get him some unique décor. Beautiful ornaments, oversized paintings of cows, and pinball machines are all potential options. Try to find something that suits his taste, not yours. If he had a man pad, pick something that would complement the rest of his décorations.
Candles
You might also consider getting him a manly candle. While candles might not be high up on your list, you can now get them with masculine fragrances that change the atmosphere of the home. Many brands sell candles that emit sandalwood, coffee, and peppermint.
An Experience Somewhere
You might also consider buying him an experience somewhere doing something he hasn’t tried before. For instance, you could send him to the theatre or sign him up for a weekend canoeing getaway.
The great thing about experiences is how memorable they are. He can take photos, post them online, and cherish the moment forever.
A Subscription Box
If he’s not a whizz in the kitchen, you might also consider getting him a subscription box. These are essentially boxes that come with pre-arranged recipes that are easy to assemble. All the ingredients arrive in the correct quantities and all the instructions are there ready to go for a quick meal.
The great thing about many of these subscription boxes is that they give the man in your life the opportunity to experience and experiment with gourmet food. New recipes will excite his taste buds and possibly improve his health!
