Looking for a Gift for 40+ Year Old (Not Alcohol)

I’m looking for gift ideas for my brothers birthday. He doesn’t drink, budget would be $150 Max. I don’t know him well, so I have no idea what he likes.

      A bottle of fragrance for a man? That is an oxymoron

        Why?

        • Real men don't eat quiche

            @mdavant: I think you will find that real men eat whatever they want to eat

              @GG57: Of course they can with their makeup and perfume on.

    you should know your brother well, he is your brother, maybe you should give him the gift of becoming closer to him, organise an activity for the 2 of you to do together, like an escape room or something

  • Kitchen knife is always good, a chef's knife. Get one thats a bit fancy, damascus steel or something (not a boring plain one, something that everytime he looks at it he thinks 'chakel gave me that'). Obviously the knife nerds will tell you $150 doesnt buy a good knife, but it will buy a good enough knife

    Or gift voucher to a fishing tackle shop. Every 40yr old should be into fishing. Or surfing.

    Take him deep sea fishing you two can spend some time together and hopefully score some big fish.

    • I like this one too

      • unless he gets seasick

    • Yeah but if he thinks it is trash you could end up overboard.

    Get him an experience gift.

    Two tickets, so you can do it together.

    Eneloops.

  • A silver coin from Perth Mint. At least, it doesn't take up too much space, and if he doesn't like it, he can re-gift it or sell it at nearly the same price you bought it for. Something like this

    And it comes in a nice box

  • Get him some btc or eth

  • Every 40 year old male needs a good torch https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/682253

  • Give him a talking hamster.

  • Give them the gift of not having to give you a gift. Problem solved for both of you. Then buy yourself something if you like.

  • I like how these types of posts are reasonably regular (…suggest me a gift for xxx…), and all the people responding just let us know a little bit more about their own preferences.

  • You can buy a flesh light for about $150. He will appreciate it everyday.

  • Spend some time with him and get to know him.
