Question Brother In Law Present!!! Please help!!!

My BIL is coming to live with us next week. He's 18 years old..and I have noooooooooooo idea what to get him for Christmas. I was really proud of myself for actually getting my hubby some gifts, lol. Now I have to think of another guy to shop for. What do you get an 18 year old?? My hubby doesnt even know what to get him, lol.

My daughter is 18 and loves any thing I-Pod, downloadable music, cell phone accessories. If your BIL follows "popular" culture or styles, gift cards to Pac Sun, Hollister or AE are a good bet. As a matter of fact gift cards are usually my best bet, I can't pick anything out for my daughter as she doesn't like my taste (?) so I get gift cards for the above type stuff, too.

Anyone over the age of 14-15 in my family gets a gift card. I like to send a visa or mastercard gift card that they can spend anywhere, so if they run short on gas, need lunch, or want to buy stuff, they can do any of the above. Good luck and Merry Christmas!!

What does he like? What are his hobbies? If you can start there, maybe you can come up with something. If you know of a favorite TV show he has, you could buy a season on DVD maybe. Does he have a favorite sports team? Sports affliliated gifts are pretty easy to find... jerseys, t-shirts, hats, posters, etc. A cologne gift sampler might be a decent idea if he wears that kinda thing. I've seen some at the store that have five or six different ones, in the hopes that at least one will be to the person's liking. If nothing else, gift cards are a good idea.

Honestly, I dont really know him that well. I do know he likes video games, and Manga stuff. But I dont know if he likes sports.

I'll probably just get him a couple gift cards. Where do you get a visa giftcard at?? Is it refillable?? Or just a one time use??
