What do you buy a brother who is impossible to store for?

Something for the thing he does most — a game for his console, a peripheral for his PC, kit for his sport. Impossible brothers are usually just specific ones.

How much do siblings usually spend?

Around $15–40, often agreed. If he is younger and you earn more, spend what you like; if you are both broke, agree $20 and enjoy it.

Is a board game a good gift for a brother?

If you will play it with him, one of the best — it is a gift that comes with an evening attached. Choose one for the number of people who are usually around the table.

Gift ideas for your brother

Brothers are honest about gifts in a way nobody else is, which is useful: you will know within seconds whether it landed.

What lands, in practice, is the stuff he uses and would not buy: a game he has been eyeing, a controller, decent earbuds, the fragrance he borrowed from you once. Real US prices, from $10.

Siblings are the easiest people to get a list from, because you can just demand one. Do that.
