What to get your brother for his birthday

The complexity of gifts for relatives lies in the fact that everything possible has been given for a long time, and it is not so easy to come up with an interesting surprise. Therefore, the KP gives its readers a few clues. So, we tell you what you can give your brother for his birthday, depending on his interests and hobbies.

Top 25 Birthday Gifts for Brother

We will avoid gifts that are needed while driving and at work. You should not remind your brother about his duties on his big day. All birthday presents should be for fun. 

Well, if he has a hobby, then you don’t have to rack your brains: you just go to the right store or department in the shopping center. But if our beloved brother has not decided on hobbies, then the first five points in our top are for him.

For the technology lover

 1. Smart speaker

This is the perfect gift not only for a brother. She will tell a fairy tale to the children, and she will dictate the recipe to mom and turn on the music for the mood of dad. The speakers are adapted to one ecosystem and one or two well-known voice assistants. Therefore, there are no problems with setting up the column. And you can also buy other gadgets that fit the ecosystem. This will allow you to create a smart home, where the kettle or the light in the apartment will be turned on by voice. 

 2. Robot

Modern robots bring little benefit, but give a lot of positive emotions. If you absolutely cannot do without practicality, you can give a robot vacuum cleaner – a useful and funny thing, but far from budget purchases. The window cleaning robot falls into the same category. From yourself, you can personally buy a fun robot that follows simple commands. Star Wars fans will love a miniature version of the drone that will run under your feet and yell out catchphrases from the movie. 

 3. Headphones

Even if your brother has good headphones, you can always find a model that sounds better, fits better and looks more stylish. Pay attention to wireless monitor headphones that hold a charge up to 10 hours. They are comfortable and suppress more noise from outside than plug-in “droplets”. Therefore, you can spend the whole day in them, listening to your favorite programs or music: the ear will not sweat, and the auricle will not hurt. Some models fold up so as not to take up space when carrying.  

 4. Massager

Every lover of sitting at a computer needs to stretch their muscles. It can be a massage of the head, neck, legs, back, fingers. There are so many options that there is a device for any budget and for any part of the body. Especially popular are neck massagers, which resemble headphones in shape. They can warm up the neck and massage it in several modes. Such a device is convenient to take on a plane for long flights. It is important to pay attention to the size of the device: the device should fit snugly around the neck, but not all of them can be adjusted to the desired size. 

 5. Game console

For children of the nineties, it will be a great joy to receive a retro console with popular games “Contra” and “Mario”. Many consoles are sold with a pistol – the one that can be used to shoot ducks. When choosing such a gift, it is important to take care of the adapter for the TV, otherwise the set-top box may remain unused. For a later generation and lovers of realism, virtual reality glasses are suitable. When choosing them, it is important to pay attention to compatibility with the operating system of the smartphone.

 6. Smartphone

In the modern world, smartphones change like gloves – new models come out every year, gadgets quickly become obsolete. Therefore, your brother will surely be delighted with such a gift – especially if his device is more than one year old. It is best to choose the model of the brand that the brother is currently using in order to avoid inconvenience due to an unfamiliar interface or operating system.

For the supporter of sports and healthy lifestyle

 7. Balance board

It is a cylinder on the edge of which a board is installed. On this board, you need to learn to balance. The simulator strengthens the muscles of the buttocks and legs. Many balanceboards have two cylinders of different diameters for more difficult levels. A mini board will be useful for surfers and skateboarders to keep fit out of season.

 8. Air ozonator

Ozonizers perfectly disinfect and deodorize indoor air. With such a device, it is easier to sleep, work and breathe. Its only feature: the smaller the ozonator, the smaller the area it processes. A desktop compact device is enough for a bedside table to fall asleep well.

 9. Kuznetsov’s applicator

This is the name of the famous acupuncture mats with many needles on which you need to lie to increase blood circulation in places of pain. The rug will be appreciated after the first use, especially if your brother is 30 years old and older and back pain is already felt. As a rule, the Kuznetsov applicator is made in a large size for the entire back. Its compact alternative can be the Lyapko applicator, which differs in the size and composition of the needles. At Kuznetsov they are plastic, and at Lyapko they are metal. You should purchase an applicator complete with a roller for use on specific areas of the back.

 10. Sports games for home

Darts, mini-basketball, table punching bag or ping-pong – all come in handy for five-minute breaks in your home or work routine. Such games allow the brain and nervous system to unload and relieve stress. It is advisable to choose a game for the temperament of your brother. If he is a quick-tempered person, then a pear will suit him, maybe even a larger size than a table one. Calm people will like basketball. They have the patience to throw the ball until it hits the basket. And on the next holiday, you can add boxing gloves or a basketball uniform to the donated game.

 11. Smart scales

Such scales determine not only weight, but also the balance of water, the levels of bone, fat and muscle tissue. They have memory and synchronization with a smartphone. All this is powered by a couple of conventional batteries. Some scales have their own application on the smartphone. It receives data after weighing and creates a training program for the user.     

 12. Sneakers

Any athlete will tell you that shoes are extremely important for comfortable exercise. Therefore, sneakers should be for any occasion: for running, for the gym, for walking around the city. All you need to know is your brother’s foot size and his favorite brand. Or maybe he dreams of a certain model? In any case, after the purchase, just in case, keep the receipt – if the size does not fit, the shoes can be exchanged.

For an active lifestyle lover

 13. Survival bracelet

If your brother loves being outdoors, he will definitely appreciate this bracelet. The usual decoration has a knife, a compass, a flint and a whistle. The more expensive model includes a watch. The bracelet itself is untangled into a dense rope that can be used as a rope. There are many similar bracelets on the market, not all of them have a complete set of tools, so it is important to carefully familiarize yourself with the chosen model.

 14. Impressions as a gift

In almost every city you can buy a test dive under water or a flight in a hot air balloon. The disadvantage of such a gift is the need for the birthday person to look for time and opportunities to use the certificate while it is valid. In fact, the present is not felt, these are already different emotions from another action. Therefore, if you want to please with impressions, try to realize them here and now. For example, if a brother has wanted a tattoo for a long time, invite the tattoo artist right to the holiday. Or invite the birthday boy to the quest half an hour before midnight so that he finds a way out of the room at the time of his birthday, where he will be met by relatives with a cake and balloons.  

 15. Globe

Travelers have become tired of scratch cards in recent years, but I really want to put the cherished marks in the countries visited. Globes for every taste are returning to fashion again: from floating in the air to cork, into which flags can be stuck. Practical people will like the globe-lamp. And creative – the original globe, which is painted as your heart desires. Globe bars and dispensers are sold for the mature generation. 

 16. Thermal appliances for travel

A lover of road trips and picnics will appreciate a large thermos on a trip in winter and a car refrigerator on a trip in summer. It is important when choosing a thermos to focus on its size: it makes no sense to take less than one and a half liters on a long journey. You can pick up an auto-boiler for a thermos to heat water for coffee or tea on the go. The refrigerator should not be powered by cooling elements that have a temporary effect. A thermoelectric device is needed that will constantly cool food and water.  

 17. A set of cases and bags

You can assemble a set of cases for your smartphone for all occasions. For running, arm covers or waist sports bags are suitable. For swimming and diving – waterproof cases. A sling bag over the shoulder will come in handy on a hike. The bike bag for smartphones has a special handlebar or frame mount, and some models are also waterproof. There are also signal suppressor bags. A phone in such a case will not catch a single call or wi-fi network.

For those who like to try new things

 18. Ant farm

For inquisitive minds, those who turn on not a movie, but a program about animals before going to bed, an ant farm is ideal. What man does not want to feel like a ruler, even a small ant, but the world? The container in which new pets will live is made of transparent plexiglass. Therefore, at any time of the day or night, you can observe what the ants are doing, how they arrange their moves and communicate with each other. The owner will only need to provide the anthill with water and food. Some containers are supplied with water autonomously for several weeks, which allows you to leave the farm unattended for a long time. 

 19. Prefabricated models of special vehicles 

If designing, creating, inventing is in your brother’s blood, then he will like modeling. You can assemble a real miniature of a military helicopter or civil aircraft. There are prefabricated models of tanks, ships, submarines. And you can also glue the good old UAZ, or the popular Aeroflot Boeing. The work is painstaking, requiring perseverance, so you should not choose the first model with a large number of details: up to a hundred pieces will be enough. 

 20. Cooking set

It’s never too late to discover the culinary genius in your brother. A set for making rolls will appeal to connoisseurs of oriental cuisine. It is better to immediately buy seafood for him, since they are not included in the kit. And you can choose a kit for making sausages. You don’t need to add anything to it. If you are afraid to make a mistake with the choice of dishes, stop at kitchen utensils. You can’t go wrong with a BBQ set. For originality, add a stamp to it – a set of letters, with which you can leave any messages on the meat.  

 21. Metal detector

What boy did not dream of finding a treasure as a child. Now you can give this opportunity to your brother. A metal detector is a fairly budget device that can find gold and silver at a depth of up to 1 meter. More expensive devices have more features, but such a simple device will be enough for the first attempts. This entertainment is especially popular with people living near the beach. They detect not only lost jewelry, but also sharp dangerous objects, protecting vacationers from injury. 

For the gourmet

 22. Army ration

This is not just a set of products, but also a whole quest for their preparation. To dine like in the army, you will need to assemble a mini-burner, heat food with dry fuel. It is advisable to choose a daily ration in order to feel the army spirit, having spent the whole day on a soldier’s diet. By the way, rations can be presented even to vegetarians – there is a special menu for them.

Another childhood dream of many is to try tube food like astronauts. Now this food is available to everyone. The process of eating borscht or buckwheat from a tube is accompanied by a special way of heating food with the help of chemical elements. You can collect a space supply for your beloved brother for a week, if the budget allows. 

 24. Set of delicacies 

If your brother does not live in the taiga, game meat will become a real exotic for him. Many sets with delicacies are now on sale, which include bear meat, venison, elk, beaver meat and other unusual delights. Some sets are packaged in wooden crates that can only be opened with a crowbar. This makes the gift even more original. 

 25. Edible crayfish bouquet

Popular bouquets with food are rather tired. However, when it comes to a real delicacy, it is much more pleasant to receive it in the form of a bouquet than in an ordinary bag. Crayfish is just the product that will please the gourmet. It is important to give an edible gift, knowing that the birthday person will not leave on a trip in the evening. Crayfish are packed already boiled and should be eaten in the next couple of days.
