Christmas ideas

Sepiae · 11-14-2002, 07:53 PM

My little brother is almost 13 and I want to do something really special for him for Christmas. Not seeing him everyday has really made me appreciate the wonderful kid he is, and he just gave us all quite a health scare, so I want to let him know I much I care about it him.

Do you guys have any suggestions?

Give him some MONEY... That always works on teenagers!

But I'm college student. I'm more broke than he is!

yes. take him to a concert or something. that will mean alot to him, partially because he is prolly not allowed to go to one at all, and partly because he gets to hang out with his older sibling.

Yep. Get tickets for a concert, hockey game, basketball game, whatever.

Invite him out to spend the weekend at college with you. Try searching for a cheap plane ticket.

I am radiating with the love right now. It took me 12 years to realize how wonderful that kid is, so I gotta make up for lost big sister time.

i would buy him a meaningful book and make him a mix cd. and buy him a plant too

heh. and maybe also a nice warm pair of socks. mhm.

regardless of what you get him, what's important is that the next time you see him, do something with him. take him somewhere. he probably looks up to you like crazy. for some reason, by 15 year old brother looks up to me and although he doesn't exactly spell it out for me, i know he really likes it when i take him places.

oui henri · 11-15-2002, 12:54 AM

too bad my sister and i are 20 months apart.

she's beyond ahead of me with certain things like going to driving school and getting honours.

Gosh....i actually look up to her and not only because she's taller than me.

Sepiae · 11-15-2002, 12:56 AM

All of you have seriously been so helpful.

I have enough ideas now to do something fun over Thanksgiving, Christmas, and his birthday, which is in January.

Or better yet, give the gift of sawdust restaurants!

Ihaman · 11-15-2002, 02:45 AM

if he's mentioned anything that's cool or has taken interest in while you talk to him, get it for him!
it'll totally catch him off guard and make you think you actually listen to what he has to say

Lie · 11-15-2002, 02:50 AM

Um...anyone have suggestions for presents for family members who you don't really like and who you know hate you?

Defecate in a stocking and send it to them.

Gift certificates? Magazine subscriptions? They aren't too personal...

But on second thought, they can bitch about how much you spent.
