He ain’t heavy; he’s your brother. And you love him. And you owe him a present. Or he’ll fart on your pillow. Again.
So what do you get the boy who already has you in his life? Well, if he’s old enough to have specialized interests, you can visit our Directory and consult the proper sections. Or read our guide of How to Buy Gifts.
If you want to figure your brother out based on his age, read on.
Baby Brother (0-4 Years)
He’s cute, little, and will never know that you bought his heartfelt gift off a website. He can’t even read, let alone operate a wiki. Learn more about him in our Baby Toys and Toys for Preschoolers and Kindergarteners guides and Babies and Toddlers section.
Your parents are in charge of taking care of your brother. It’s your job to supply a bit of fun in his life. Get him a great toy.

By now, if you don’t know what to get your brother, the first thing you should spend money on is a phone call. Get to know the man a little bit.
