Gift ideas for my brother?!?




Rhine


My brother is 23.

He doesn't play any sports but he's really into fashion. However, I can't get him clothes because he won't wear anything that he doesn't pick himself.

He doesn't really have hobbies either.

I can spend around 100$, maybe more. But I don't want to give gift cards either because our presents are about what we pick for the other, not showing how much we spend, if that makes sense.

Any ideas please!!!

gift/Good books help?




RWAR!!!!!


So i figured out the perfect gift for my boyfriend/fiance person lol.
I want to get him an mp3 player and load it with a lot of audio books for him, but the problem is that i cant think of many good books, or less expensive ones to get for him. I know that hes a big fan of stephen king, and he liked the harry potter books, and he likes hero books (im guessing any classic good vs. evil types) with an epic hero or something. So if you have any or know of any good books, or anywhere to get them pretty cheep please let me know ^_^
Thank you so much.
one more quick thing to note, he's not the typical manly man type i guess, he actually likes chick flicks and stuff too (must love dogs, the notebook, ect) so an occasional book like that i want to add, but im not sure which ones to add?
also he's 31, so i really dont want any supper kiddie books if i can avoid it.



Answer
Get him a book that promotes masculinity, makes him feel good about being a guy. Something he can relate to.
