I need suggestions for my brother..

My brothers 16th birthday is this Friday coming (why i cant go to Marni's) and I have no idea what to get him. Anthony and I usually spoil him but I cant think of aything this year. My sis is getting him yankee tix and I was thinking of getting him tix to Beatstock at jones beach but I dont think he would enjoy it that much..he gets embarrassed easily..

I need something good..in the 300 price range..spoil him big time!

PLEASE HELP!

Wow - 16 is a tough age. I give my brother money b/c its what he needs most and loves

Is he a football fan? Maybe get tix for that????

I'm sorry I couldn't be more help. I am sure that whatever you give him he'll love - you sound like an awesome sister!!!!!!

At 16, I would have loved to just get the cash. If you give him money, he'll definitely end up with something he loves.

My brother is funny like that...he still loves surprises..he hates getting money, although i know I would love it!

Re: I need suggestions for my brother..

really?! Wow, I love money! Maybe you could get him a surprise for about $100, then give him cash? I don't know, I love cash gifts. Does he have a silver chain, you know, one of those thick ones? I always seem to see teens wearing them. Or if he loves the Yankees, you could buy him an authentic jersey, they're pretty expensive, or maybe an autographed ball or picture?

You are welcome Noreen

I like the authentic Yankee stuff - that is a good idea. If he has a favorite player you could get him an autographed ball or bat and have it framed or something.

Re: I need suggestions for my brother..

I just asked my son (he's 19) and he said money!! That's his favorite gift!! Other than that he suggested perhaps Playstation2 or Xbox if he is interested in that sort of thing. He said if you came give him a better idea of his interests he might be able to come up with something better!!

HOw awesome Wendy!!!!!!!!

Well, he has playstation 2...got it for him last b day. He loves baseball but the Yankee tix are out. Hes into music..has a lot of dj equipment..hes out of control now though..

He has asked for a Moped...which we will not allow him to have...he recently fell off his bike and we thought he broke his hip..hes not getting that!!!!

You are awesome and so is your son! Thanks so much Wendy and everyone else!!!!!!

Re: I need suggestions for my brother..

what about a digital camera? or a dvd player? what about a ride in a hot air balloon or parasailing tickets? is he into the water - maybe a day of jet skiing or scuba diving? good luck!
