It is my brother's 21st this month


Can't believe the little bugger's all grown up. I still think of him as my little brother, even though he's all attitude and facial hair these days.


He's having a party with the family in a few weeks time and I want to get him something special. He's not very sentimental, but I still think a 21st present should be something that will last. He bought me a beautiful necklace for my 21st back in the day, which I still adore and wear often. But boys are difficult. He doesn't wear jewellery. His hobbies are computers, his car, occasionally golf (although he's not a regular or dedicated player by any means), wake-boarding and drinking rum ;-)


Any ideas on a suitable gift for him?

Vouchers work best in my mind. But you want something that will last him? hmmm. I got my dad a golf club cover that he is attached too. I guess you should find something that they are passionate about and give them something along those lines?

happy birthday, bro!

as another computer junkie, get him a gift certificate to a local electronics store!

what about a nice notebook bag - longlasting, really practical and will think of you everyday. Incredible Connection has some gorgeous designs.

If you like Meriel's idea, Wren has a gorgeous new laptop bag! http://thewrendesign.com/2010/02/24/the-ppc-cement-laptop-bag/

Anon: He'd just spend cash on rum and Coke. Not very memorable. Especially if you overdo it on the rum ;-)

Cam: It makes me feel ancient!

Paula: That's what I'm looking for. The trouble is his major passion is hitting on hot chicks ;-)

Angel: Great idea, but don't think my budget will stretch that far.

Slyde: he won't be able to get much with what we can afford to give. He has expensive taste!

Meriel: What a brilliant idea!

Philly: That bag is AWESOME! I might get one for me, although I don't think it's his style.
