HCX Gift Guides: Brothers

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Exeter chapter.

There aren’t many people more difficult to buy presents for than a brother. But here are a few ideas bound to put you in his good books all year.

1.     Both fun and practical, this Ninja Mug (£12.99) or Camera Lens Mug (£14.99) from Firebox would be a hit with anyone’s brother. Because the only thing better than coffee is a cool mug to drink it from.

2.  Style meets nostalgia with unique retro posters from Red5 (£7.95) which are sure to add a little personality to his room.

3.     If he’s constantly attached to his phone, he’ll love the Veho Pebble Aria Battery (£29.12 from Amazon) as it plays music from any smartphone while simultaneously charging it. The iPhone wallet (£60 from Etsy) is also perfect for helping messy brothers keep all their stuff in one place as this stylish phone case will hold his phone, ID, cards and cash.

4.     Brighten up your brother’s room with this Fully-playable Rubik’s Cube Lamp (£29.99) or a novelty Star Wars Mood Light (£14.99) from Firebox.

5.     You can’t go wrong with buying a guy food, so how about giving your bro a Custom Chocolate Pizza (£11.45 from The Gourmet Chocolate Pizza Company) this Christmas time?

6.     Mini books like ‘101 Things To Do Before You Die’ (£6.39) or ‘367 Classic Skills for the Modern Guy’ (£9.99) from Amazon make the ideal stocking-filler for any brother.

7.     Although this idea may stretch your budget, any fitness junkie will adore the FitBit Flex wristband (£79.99 from FitBit); a trainer, dietician, lifestyle coach and motivational guru all strapped to his arm. The go-to gift if you’re looking to really treat your brother this year.

8.      Buying a box set of one of his favourite TV shows is a guaranteed way to get him a gift he’ll love. And for a brother who’s seen them all, try finding him a show he’s been meaning to watch like Game of Thrones (£34.99) or Breaking Bad (£45) from Amazon.

9.     This personalised football calendar (£10.99 from Gettingpersonal.co.uk) is bound to be a success with any sports lovers.

10.     Boys love their toys, so why not buy your bro his own Sky Warrior remote-controlled helicopter (£19.95 from Prezzybox) or a set of the world’s smallest walkie talkies (£9.95 from Prezzybox)?

So there you have a few ideas for even the most difficult of brothers!
