Looking for gift ideas

October 22nd, 2009 by callister

I have a younger brother that will turn to 16 soon. He just finished his examination and I was looking for some ideas on the gift for his birthday. Some people said I should give him something that he likes. My brother loves to play games, but I don’t want to give him another console since he’s already got a Playstation Portable and I think he’s spending too much time on gaming already.  Imagine if he gets another game console for his birthday. What should I give him as his sweet 16 gift?

I tried to look for some ideas on the internet but nothing really helps out. Seems like the industry is only focusing gift ideas for women or girls only. There are a few sites that talks about sweet 16 gift for guys, others are only concentrating on girl presents only and another bunch of sites that talks about both.

I don’t really have a problem looking for gift ideas for a girl since I’m also a girl, but it’s really hard to think of one for my brother. It’s not that difficult for me to figure out what to buy for my boyfriend though. I can always get a personalized gift like key chains, picture frames, jewelry and others, all custom made for the person. So it’s not really hard to get one for a girl like I have done with my cousin. I tried to search on the internet and look at Ebay.com for gift ideas, but so far, I didn’t find anything interesting and valuable for my brother. I don’t want it to be something that not only he can remember me but also something that can help him to manage his time more efficiently or bring positive qualities out of him.

With those said, I decided to write this blog post. I hope my readers can help me to find a perfect sweet 16 gift for my brother. Thanks in advance for all your feedback!
