Gift Ideas For Your Brother
Brothers are frequently the hardest people in a family to buy for, mostly because they have no declared interests they are willing to discuss. What they do have is a long record of behaviour, which is a far better basis for a gift than a guessed hobby.
Grade the record, not the interests
You do not need to know what he likes. You need to know what he does — repeatedly, predictably, and to everyone's mild irritation.
Keep it deadpan
Sincerity between brothers is often best delivered inside something that looks like paperwork.
Do not overshoot the budget
A cheap gift that is obviously about him beats an expensive one that could have gone to anybody.
What makes it personal
The funniest material is usually his most predictable habits: the reply time, the same order everywhere, the opinion he has never once revised.
What we would make
Government-Issued Relationship Report Card — $4.99
An absurdly official two-page assessment of their merits, infractions and continued eligibility — affectionate, specific and very formally typeset.
- An official report grading his reply times and his record on returning borrowed items.
- A coupon for 'one family event I attend so you do not have to'.
- A card marking a birthday with completely unwarranted formality.
Also worth considering: Relationship Coupon Booklet.
How it works
- Answer a short set of questions about the person — habits, history, the running jokes.
- We write the gift from your answers and show you the finished thing.
- Pay $4.99 once, then download the clean file or send the private link.
Questions
- Will he think it is a joke gift?
- It is a joke gift with a sincere line in it, which is usually the correct format for brothers.
- Can I add a photo?
- Yes, on the report card.
- How much is it?
- $4.99.
