Hi all, I'm really stuck with my brother's present. He has no hobbies as such, plays a bit of sport, good at school, likes the cinema & parties with his friends.

It's his birthday Xmas week so vouchers, which are ideal, will only do for one present really!

He reads & is quite maths-y. Loves technical drawing. Likes to look good too! His hair must always be 'just right' Wink. Any ideas?

What's your budget?

What about a really nice bag, either a laptop bag or a rucksack? Go on Asos.com (especially the Outlet bit of the site) and have a look round. If you have a large budget you could get him a really nice designer one, but they also have nice ones fairly cheap as well. And maybe you could fill it with American-style sweets/chocolates?

If he likes tech drawing etc what about a Lego Architecture set, I know it's building but along a similar line.

Reading wise what about a box set of books to take him through the winter such as Game of Thrones?

Check if your local cinema does a behind the scenes day mine does. They go into how it all works. If he's into graphics etc...

Sorry for delay!

Budget for both presents around €80.

Rucksack is great idea. Never heard of Lego architecture, will google.

Behind the scenes at the cinema sounds brill too. Don't think our local ones offer that, but I will certainly investigate. Thanks for those suggestions.
