You might hate to admit this, but the kid... He got kinda cool. Your brother, whether he's younger or older, might have better taste than you now. Ok, that's pushing it. But, your sparring partner and debate opponent, best friend and mortal enemy, is an adult man with unique hobbies and interests. He dresses himself, and he even does it right most of the time. He buys his own beer. He keeps up to date on the latest tech. He rarely asks you, or mom or dad, for help with any of it.

So, what do you get the guy that seemingly has it all together? First of all, find his weakness. It shouldn't be hard, you did grow up with the kid after all. Maybe he still can't cook, so a sleek air fryer could elevate his chef game. Or maybe, no matter how hard he tries, he can't quite seem to get the hang of grooming himself and needs a full-on guide to masculine hygiene. Or maybe, just maybe, he can't seem to put the video games down and get off the couch; thus, he receives the Spikeball set.

It's not too late to get him something great whether it's for his birthday or just because, so buy him something that proves you haven't fallen so far behind in the sibling olympics. Here are 55 of those such gifts, guaranteed to appeal to any kind of brother.
