Hobbies And Interests
Themed USB Hubs
A USB hub is useful gift for your brother if his computer is always short of available USB ports to connect and charge all the gadgets he loves so much. Apart from being useful, a themed USB hub can also be a fun gift. If your brother watched all Star Wars films at least twice and always dreamed of being Anakin Skywalker, you can give him a Darth Vader four-port USB hub, which makes breathing noises and glow the eyes every time you plug in, reports Trend Hunter. If he is a fan of the Transformers, the All Spark Cube USB hub is an alternative.
Mystery Trip
If your brother enjoys traveling, you can buy him a ticket to a mysterious destination, only revealed at boarding time. You can give him some clues about the place, such as average temperature, if it is a national or international destination and the number of inhabitants. This can help him to get prepared and pack the right clothes. You can organize a group of friends to turn up at the station or airport in fancy-dress costumes to wish him a good trip.
Musical Gifts
Headphones vary enormously in quality and features. It is already possible to buy headphones made of the same material NASA uses to guard spacecrafts' sensors from electromagnetic interference, reports Wired Magazine. In addition to headphones, you can also give your brother a video game simulator, which includes onscreen lead guitar cues, prompts for a drummer and bassist, as well as karaoke-style lyrics.
Board Games
Designed by wine connoisseur Tamara Murphy, Winerd is a board game for wine lovers. It includes a board, 300 questions, 12 challenge cards, four game corks and a taste test notepad. During the game, the players taste three similar wines,which are not included, and answer questions about them. But if your brother is too young to drink, then you can give him "Hey! That's My Fish!," a strategy game with straightforward rules, which adults can also enjoy, according to Wired Magazine.
