The ‘ONE’ gift a brother will always love you for …

A framed picture of you both from back in the day (the geekier and weirder the better)!

Only a brother can …

• give you honest, tough brotherly advice.
• kill that huge spider in your room.
• protect you even if the other guy is bigger.
• follow you around everywhere you go and back again.
• tell mum everything he shouldn’t and more.
• annoyingly make weird sounding noises.
• call you funny names and mimic your voice.
• blame you every time for everything he’s done wrong.
• embarrass you everywhere you go.
• just smell bad, even after a shower.

… most of all, be an absolute pain and hero at the same time!

Buying gifts for brothers

You may have grown up together with loads of silly fights over toys, pulling each other’s hair and wrestling all night long until mum came marching in, but a brother is your best buddy, the way to fight off your boredom and the one you can truly rely on in any situation.

Finding a gift for your brother may not be as fun as a pillow fight, but you have your work cut out to keep him happy and here’s a tip, he’ll probably want it as big as possible and make sure it goes bang!
