I have no idea what to get my brother

opinions? and how are you all faring in your holiday gift search?

Fincham: Where are you going?
Me: I have no idea
Fincham: I meant where are you sitting. This wasn't an existential question.

Get him an REI gift card. That is assuming there are REI's around. I love REI. Best store EVER!

Buy him socks. Lots of warm fuzzy socks. No one can ever have to many socks.
Though you will be considered 'the boring' gift giver from then on. Which in some ways is a plus.

My blawgh.

He's a anime-lovin', gaming sort of guy -- are there any favorite series or games of his? Cuz little random figurines from them might be neat (or, you know, a cheap game or series he doesn't have yet -- Gamecube games should be pretty cheap now). Otherwise, I still say just wander the malls aimlessly and look for something really random.

You should get him a matchbox car and stack the dishes in his room.

You could get him one of those neato holiday gift sets that the liquor stores put out at this time of year, OR a classy flask, OR an impressive looking stein....you'll notice I have a theme going here, but these are all things that'd light up my face on Christmas morning. I don't know if your brother's much of a boozer.

Myself, I just finished my shopping today. My sis and I went in on everything for my folks together. Next year my mom and I are going to suggest to everyone that we pool our money, and donate to an aid organization instead of getting each other gifts. The family is getting pretty sick of the commercialism of Christmas, and want to do something nice for people who really need it.

Give him one white glove, 2 sizes too small, for his right hand...

And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.

Socks suck. Winter sucks more for requiring socks and shoes to be worn. >.<

I can give no present advice, I still can't even figure out what the crap to get my female friend.

A nice watch is always something fun to get. I usually break mine after a while so you wouldn't see me buy one for myself. So when I get one I'm pretty happy.

Ugh, socks for Christmas...it's basically all I get, plus chocolate that tastes like toothpaste.

Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.

I'm not sure how the weather is in maryland, but if its snowy at all, you could get him a set of rackets (is that how you call em in english?) to go hiking in the snow. It might sound like a boring gift, but I got some last year and it got me in the mood for some serious outdoor action.

Earmuffs could be an awesome present. I bet he'd be really thankful to shield himself from his singing sister.
