For your brother

i. Is he perennially late?

A watch can be the perfect cue for a brother who is always late for everything ranging from a movie to his work meetings.

It's a really loving way of telling him to be more conscious of the time!

ii. Shaving kits, exotic bath gels, hair gels, and travelling kits are popular -- and useful -- gifts for guys. If you know their taste in fragrances, you could really be appreciated for this one.

You could also make a set of all this and give him a complete kit.

iii. If your brother has sophisticated taste, a contemporary looking leather jacket, a set of belts or a leather wallet could be good picks.

iv. A stylish pair of sunglasses works well for a guy wants to flaunt his pair.

v. Most guys are food freaks. You can indulge him with a meal at his favourite restaurant, with three courses thrown in, and alcohol if he prefers it.

vi. If budget is not a constraint, a gadget would be a good bet. A mobile phone, a handycam, a digital diary or a pen-drive (a small removable data storage device. This means you don't need to carry CDs, floppies or even your laptop for data. You can insert the pen-drive into most computers and access the data) is sure to make his world spin.

vii. Just like girls, guys too want to smell good. Get him an exotic perfume that suits his style and personality.
