Whether you grew up sharing a birthday (and before that a womb) with your gifting your brother on birthday, or just inherited him through marriage, to you he is unlike all other brothers. Maybe he’s a Leo who prides himself on his personal style, or a computer whiz who bakes in his free time. Or maybe he just wants to live sustainably, buying as little as possible — and making the task of finding him a gift nearly impossible. Whatever the case, finding the right gift for your particular brother (or brothers), can be tough. To help you out, we pulled together a list of things we love and have written about before, plus a few newbies, that any brother would appreciate. Even the one who shot flaming arrows at your dolls when you were kids.
