Gift for your brother

A gift for your brother
that hits the mark.

Ideas by relationship and occasion, with what works between siblings and what falls flat.

✔ By relationship✔ Funny or practical✔ From CHF 39.90

A good gift for your brother builds on something only siblings share: a shared memory, a joke that goes back to childhood or a family habit. Failing that, an experience together or a practical gift he would never buy himself almost always works. Between siblings, a gift can come with a wink, as long as it is also useful.

Six situations, six ideas

What matters is not his age, but the way you relate to each other.

You see each other often

Give a moment: a match, a concert, a hike for two. The gift is the day together.

A good fit if: you already spend time together

He lives far away

A subscription that arrives every month reminds him who gave it, long after his birthday.

A good fit if: the distance is great

You like to tease each other

Funny wrapping, useful contents. The joke raises a smile, the gift stays.

A good fit if: humour is part of your relationship

He has just moved or started working

At this stage, quality is often missing in the basics: kitchen knife, towels, underwear.

A good fit if: he is setting up home

He has a family and little time

An hour for him: barber, massage, a ticket to a match. He would not treat himself to it.

A good fit if: he thinks of others first

You know little about his current tastes

A quality consumable or a subscription saves you guessing at tastes that have changed.

A good fit if: you are in touch less often

Ideas no friend could give

What only a brother or sister knows makes the best gift.

  • A reissue of a game, shirt or object from your childhood
  • A framed childhood photo, with the date and place on the back
  • Tickets for the team you watched together as kids
  • A cooking evening around a family recipe, with the recipe written by hand
  • A hike or a weekend retracing a childhood trip

Underwear between siblings: half a joke, fully useful

The kind of gift you can only give within the family.

Underwear between siblings: half a joke, fully useful

Giving your brother underwear raises a smile, and that is exactly why it works: the joke is in the gesture, the gift is serious. With an UNDY gift subscription, he chooses his size and start month himself, then receives a branded piece every month, for example from HUGO, BOSS, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Nike, Adidas or Puma. The subscription runs for 3, 6 or 12 months and ends automatically.

What people often ask

What should I give my brother?
Something that builds on what you share: a shared memory, an experience together or a practical gift he would never buy himself.
What should I give a brother who already has everything?
A consumable, an experience or a subscription. With someone who has everything, what counts is what he never thinks to replace or what money cannot buy.
What birthday gift for my brother?
An experience together or something linked to your childhood. It shows you remember, better than any branded item.
How much should I spend on a gift for my brother?
There is no rule. Between siblings, the idea counts more than the amount; many simply match what they give each other.
Is underwear a good gift for a brother?
Yes, as a subscription and with a wink. He chooses his size himself, and the gift comes back every month.

A gift that reminds him of his brother or sister.

A branded piece in his letterbox every month. From CHF 39.90 for three months.
