OMG - four weeks til christmas???!!!!! I better do shome chrissy shopping!!!! EEEkKkk
I think DH is going to get clothes for chrissy. The kids pressies are all done. And I have my parents pressies, and one of my sisters. Now I need to get DH's, two of my other sisters (prob jewllery) and come up with an idea for my bro.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to get my bro? He is 25yrs old, is coming home for chrissy (lives in London) and then is taking off on boxing day to live in Canada for 6 mths. I love my bro, but don't know him well enough to know what he would like or needs. DVD's are out because he's equipment uses different formating. He has an ipod and doesn't listen to CD's. And it cann't be big or bulky because he is travelling...
And I have a budget of around $30 (give or take $5).
please help me come up with some ideas for my bro.
Buy him a gift from the "really useful gift" cataolgue (or Oxfam). I personally like to give goats - they help people move into self-sufficiency and buld a life in some of the more poor areas of the world. Advantages here are:
a) talking point! (what did you get for xmas? A goat!)
b) easy to pack and travel with (the picture of a goat and family story about how it helps them)
c) money goes where it's needed
d) you feel great
e) it's online, so you don't need to battle the crowds!
f) it can make the difference in people's lives.
If you're not into goats (maaaa) then zoos & seeing-eye dog places do the same thing - you can help with endangered species, part-sponsor a puppy etc.
Nothing like a cuddle from DD after a hard day's work!

How about a digital photoframe keyring thing? U can get them from Officeworks for $15 and you can load up pics of your family so he can see them when he misses you guys.
