55 Christmas Gifts For A Brother

Last updated: 3 weeks ago

Brothers are notoriously difficult to buy for — not because they're complicated, but because the relationship usually is. There's history there, shorthand, years of in-jokes and borrowed things never returned. And somehow all of that makes it harder to land on something that feels right rather than just adequate.

The good news is that adequate isn't actually what you're after, otherwise you wouldn't be here. You want something that lands — that shows you were paying attention, even if neither of you would ever say that out loud. That's exactly the kind of gift this guide is built around.

1. Jet Ski Ride Experience

If he's the type who'd rather be out on the water than unwrapping socks, a jet ski ride experience is the kind of Christmas gift he'll actually remember.
