So, my brother's 30th birthday is coming up (actually, it's just a few days away) and I still have no idea what to buy him. I guess I always find it kinda hard to buy him a present, since we have very different taste and interests.
This time, however, it's a bit harder since he didn't even write a wish list, 'cause he apparently "doesn't know what to put on it".

I don't know. I'll probably just end up buying him a shirt or something.


Anyway, do you frequently have problems finding presents (be it a birthday or christmas present) for your siblings or other family members?

I don't have problem finding presents, but I do have problems finding presents they'll like. :p

Actually, I usually try to pay attention to when they say they need or want something and make a mental note of it so when it comes time to buy them a present I have an idea fo what they need or want.

Oh, and for your brother, I suggest a pound of bacon. You can never go wrong with bacon.

I just knew you'd bring up bacon! xD

If your brother has a 360, get him Dante's Inferno. That game is amazing!

I suggest event tickets... humorist, music or even sports. As a gift, they're my personal favorite.

I don't buy people anything and they don't buy me anything. We use the money to buy ourselves presents.

Sound reasoning. I like it.

A witty card with money in it. That's what I get my sister.

I'm really terrible with presents. I end up just giving generic gift cards or shirts or the like, because I want to give people something they will actually use instead of just something that I think looks cool -- largely because I really hate when people do that to me.

I'm actually really bad at buying presents. I usually walk round town looking for something for ages and then just end up putting money in a card for them. :p

When in doubt, give cash.

When in doubt, make something by hand.

When in doubt, make a thread about it at EoFF.

At first I use to buy expensive presents.. Now I make them.. (well anything textile related) so each sibling and parent has M.Bukhari Original!


Buy him Armani Code gift pack.. Works wonders.... If he doesn't like it, send it to me then! :love:
