Siblings, especially brothers, can be difficult to shop for at times. While it is sometimes simple to choose a gift for your sister, finding the perfect gift for your brother is more difficult. After all, you and your brother have been through a lot together—backyard antics, vacations, super special late-night hangs, and the occasional fight—and you want to find the perfect gift that expresses how you truly feel about him. In other words, you want to show him how grateful you are to have him by your side (even if he still nags you about how he is mom and dad's favorite child). So, whether you're shopping for your big or little brother, or someone deserving of the title, consider one of these one-of-a-kind gifts for brothers to show him how much you care.
Do you require some inspiration? Choose a personalized gift if your brother has reached a major milestone this year (perhaps a new job), a funny gift if he has a great sense of humor, or venture into the unknown (a video game controller holder, for example) if he is the guy who has everything. We've included a few more expensive (well, splurge-worthy) ideas that he'll love in case you and your siblings are teaming up for a joint gift this year. Plus, if you've waited until the last minute to shop, most of these gift ideas will arrive in two days or less, thanks to everyone's old pal, Amazon Prime.
