Cool Christmas Gifts for Brothers & Brother-in-Laws

‘Tis the season to be jolly, fa-la-la-la-laa-la-la-la-laa! Christmas is in the air which can mean three things: Time to decorate, plan your gathering, and last but not least–Christmas shopping! While it may be easy to find gifts for our parents and children, gifting others can be a bit tricky. Sure, it’s the thought that counts, but when it comes to Christmas gifts for brothers or sisters, sometimes it can take a little more thought to ensure the best gift!

Christmas Gifts for Brothers & Brother-in-Laws

Tis the season to give good Christmas gifts! For brothers, receiving a gift from a sibling means a lot and can only generate smiles. Here are a few gifts worth looking into:

(A funny) ugly Christmas sweater

If you are going to a family gathering for Christmas (likely), then make sure you put on your best ugly Christmas sweater so that when your brother laughs at your ugly sweater, you can laugh at him when he opens his gift! Yes, it’s a little low brow, but if you know your brother, than you know if he’ll like this or not.

A Christmas Story BluRay DVD

Not just any DVD, but the 30th Anniversary BluRay DVD. This makes a great gift for anyone, but definitely a great pic for a brother who might be more difficult to please!

Old World Christmas glistening pickle ornament

Some see this as the German family tradition and others see this as hilarious. Either case, it makes a really fun gift for a brother, and something that he certainly wouldn’t expect!

Wine making kit

Some men enjoy a good glass of wine while others enjoy it more if they made it themselves. Get him this wine making kit so that he can make his own, one gallon at a time!

Volt rechargeable heated gloves

Brrrr! It’s cold out there and anyone who likes spending time outside during the brutal months of winter can appreciate a gift like this one! It’s a bit pricey but very useful.

Antique leather journal

Writing is healthy and good for the soul, and everyone should have a nice journal to write in as they please. For a brother, you will probably want to go with something more masculine, such as a brown leather journal with an antique appearance!

Star Wars Monopoly

Monopoly is a game that every household needs to have in their board game collection, and if you are looking for your brother, you’d better make it one like Star Wars!

Back To The Future Trilogy set DeLorean diecast models

Back To The Future is a great movie concept, and who doesn’t want a DeLorean? Now you can gift your brother three diecast DeLoreans straight out of each film!

Pocket knife

Every guy needs a good pocket knife, and for your brother, he deserves something more than a cheap $10 Swiss Army knife. Make it a Kershaw or something of similar grade, they are very decent knives!

Messenger bag

If your brother is a student or a businessman, he can certainly get a lot of use out of a stylish and masculine messenger bag!

While you’re busy decorating your halls with boughs of holly, start making a mental list of gifts you would like to give. Why not give him a call to get versed in his latest interests as well? It can really help your shopping list!

Adorable (and Affordable) Christmas Gifts for Sisters & Sister-in-Laws

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! You know, that only time where it seems like the entire family can get along (for the most part) while enjoying a nice Christmas supper, sipping on wine, watching the snow fall outside. Such a wonderful time, indeed!

Christmas is also the time of giving, so it’s time to start thinking about that Christmas shopping list, a few months early is best so you can avoid that Christmas rush. My rule of thumb is: Once you start seeing Halloween decorations, it’s time to start Christmas shopping!

Christmas Gifts for Sisters & Sister-in-Laws

Some of the people that are the very hardest to shop for are siblings and sibling-in-laws. Sisters, in particular, can be tough because shopping for girls is never an easy task. If you’re completely clueless what to give your sister for Christmas or need some good sister-in-law gift ideas, I have a list of some great Christmas gifts that will sure to make them happy!

Pom Pom Throw Blanket

Blankets make great Christmas gifts for anyone, afterall, it’s likely to be cold outside, (I’m from Florida and even here, it can get a little cold during Christmastime). This pom pom blanket is not only practical, but it’s also really cute, making it basically the perfect easy Christmas gift idea for a sister, sister-in-law, mom, mom-in-law, or auntie.

“Fate Made Us Sisters” Wineglass

For those stylish sipping sisters! If your sister or sister-in-law is a wine aficionado or just pretends to be (and has a good sense of humor), this wine glass is the perfect Christmas gift idea for her!

Sterling Silver & Pearl Cat Ear Studs

Is she a cat person? If so, she’ll adore these super sweet cat ear stud earrings, made of sterling silver and real freshwater pearls. They offer a few different color options, but my favorite is the crisp white pearl with silver ears! I can tell you for a fact, this will be my sister-in-law’s Christmas gift!

Reindeer Sherpa Trim Velour Robe

Turn your sister into Rudolph with this warm and cozy sherpa trim velour robe! It’s an especially good Christmas gift for younger sisters, but will make a super cute gift for sisters of any age!

The Golden Girls Clue Board Game

It was Rose in the kitchen with the feathered slipper! They may not have been actual sisters in the show, but a sister can certainly be a ‘friend’. Get it? “Thank you for being a friend!” Anyways, this cute and quirky game of Clue will be loads of fun for you to play with your sister til you’re as old as Sophia! Tell her you’ll bring the cheesecake!

Classic Christmas Favorites DVD

You don’t have to be a movie fanatic to enjoy these awesome Christmas Classics. Sure, your sister can always catch them on TV, but why not gift her the ability to watch them at her leisure?

Disney Villains Adult Coloring Book

No implied meanings here! Sometimes a sister can be a best friend, and other times… well… they can let their sisterly sass show through! Your sister will get a good laugh out of this appropriately themed adult coloring book. Make sure you grab a set a high quality gel pens or colored pencils, but no crayons! That would make you the villain!

Gingerbread Train/Cottage Kit

If your sister is a youngin’ with a sweet tooth and a knack for creativity, then this Gingerbread kit is a great option for those who are a bit more artsy! It comes with candies, peppermints and pre-made icing so you can get straight to having fun!

Sterling Silver Heart-Shaped Locket

Again with the jewelry, but this one is a bit more personal! Give her this locket with pictures of you two when you were just little kids! If it’s a Christmas gift for a sister-in-law, put in a picture of you two on the special day you became sisters! It will melt her heart for sure!

Ruby Red Sequin Slippers

Not only are these slippers fabulously festive, they also pay homage to one of the most famous pair of shoes in history, Dorothy’s Ruby Red slippers! So if you’re sister’s been as good as Glinda this year, reward her with these precious plushy slippers to keep her toesies all year round! (They come in pink too!)

It shouldn’t take much to put a smile on your sister’s face on Christmas. All it will take is a few stories of the memories you’ve shared and a big hug to say “Merry Christmas!” Gifts are just a thoughtful added bonus.

Super Awesome Gifts For Your Uncle (or Superman)

To have a good bond with an uncle is almost like having a second father: They can protect you and guide you, yet be a guy who you can kick back with on the weekends and have a good talk. Uncles give a lot of love and never expect anything in return other than time spent with them. If you are looking for a way to thank them for all they have done for you, or simply a gift for Christmas or their birthday, then read on!

Uncle Gifts He Can’t Complain About!

When it comes to searching for uncle gifts, you have to think to yourself just what it is that they are into. Men tend to be pretty easy-going. They enjoy things that are practical, sport-related, and whatever can make their time with the guys more fun. If you are searching for some ideas for uncle gifts, then you came to the right place!

Unclesaurus Rex shirt

I can vouch for the awesomeness of this shirt, as it was my Uncle’s Christmas gift last year! Not only was it funny when he opened his present, it was funny when he showed up for Easter dinner wearing the mean green dino shirt! If your uncle is hard to shop for, or even worse, hard to shop for and complains about his gifts, go with the Unclesaurus!

Coleman lantern

Whether he’s a camper or just lacks a good light source when working on the car, every man should have one of these in their garage, and will likely find many uses for it over time. This ultra-bright LED lantern has 75 hours of run time and has a ton of hanging options. Just look at it! It’s the perfect lantern! (and very highly rated!)

“Best uncle ever” beverage coolie

Help your uncle keep those drinks cold and not his hands! This is a great gift to get for uncles at a family reunion. (Because all of your uncles are the best uncles ever, right?)

Emergency roadside assistance kit

Everyone should have one of these in their car, and it’s definitely a gift any uncle can appreciate! I think it’s especially good for those uncles who have an older vehicle.

Worlds okayest uncle mug

Practical and hilarious, this mug will definitely bring a grin to his chin! He’s better than just okay, he’s the okayest and he’s okay with that!

Triumph Sports USA tournament bag toss

If your uncle is the type who enjoys kicking it easy in the backyard with some friends around a fire, then this game will help him bring some life to those gatherings!

Referee jersey

If he’s a sports fan, forget his favorite team jersey, get him a referee jersey instead! He likely already yells at the TV anyway regarding all the missed penalties that go on during games and bad calls by real refs; might as well get him a jersey that suits his behavior!

“Best buckin’ uncle ever” t-shirt

Does your uncle enjoy hunting or enjoy nature in general? If he’s got a good sense of humor, this is the kind of shirt he should be wearing!

Stainless steel water bottle

Everyone drinks water, right? Using a stainless steel bottle not only keeps a lot of plastic out of landfills, but they stay cold longer!

Hand crank radio/flashlight/phone charger

This is a must-have for any camper, outdoorsmen, or traveler! Small enough to not take much space, yet powerful enough to perform multiple tasks!

Uncles are not recognized enough for their roles in a niece or nephew’s lives, so surprising them with a gift from you will let them know that they have done something right in your life. Uncles can choose to be a part of your life, and the ones that do make that choice to be present are people worth thanking!

Super Sweet Aunt Gift Ideas for Your Auntie

Aunts are some of the most remarkable people we can have in our lives. There’s not many other people who you can turn to as you would a best friend for comfort and advice, yet receive corrections like you would from a parent. They love us unconditionally and tend to be some of our biggest supporters in a tight-knit family.

For everything they do, they deserve to be recognized and treated! If you are considering buying your aunt gifts, it is quite a sweet gesture and they will sincerely appreciate it! In this article, I’ll cover a variety of gift ideas that are nice, funny and sentimental. Depending on your aunt, these gifts are sure to bring a smile to her face, or make her feel awkwardly uncomfortable because she’s bad at handling sentiment- you know who you are! (If my aunt is reading this, I’m not talking about you, promise!)

Aunt Gifts

There’s many things out there that your aunt would love, but it’s a matter of knowing what she likes, what her hobbies are and so forth. If you are close enough with her to want to buy her a gift, then chances are you know a lot about her! Regardless, here’s a list of aunt gifts to consider purchasing:

Aunt candle holder

Women share a universal love for candles, and aunts are no different! Get her a lovely candle holder with a special message for aunts and her heart will melt faster than the wax!

“Crazy Aunt” stainless steel tumbler

We all have that one aunt who just loves to have fun at any expense! Or, you know, just plain crazy (in a good way). This tumbler is perfect, with a message that reads: I’m the crazy aunt everyone warns you about.

Sterling silver aunt necklace

We all know how much women like jewelry, so find a nice necklace made specially for aunts, like this one that says: Aunts like you are precious and a few.

Pavilion “mark my words” aunt mug

Does your aunt enjoy hot beverages daily? Then perhaps she will enjoy a new, pretty coffee mug for her collection. You can never have enough coffee mugs!

Poem in double picture frame

This is a sweet gift, especially “from” a newborn niece or nephew. It contains a nice poem about aunts on one side and has a 4×6 frame on the other.

Willow Tree Guardian Angel figurine

If you are shopping for gifts for an aunt who is perhaps a godmother to you, then this one is an extremely thoughtful gift. Willow Tree has many, many figurines in their collection for all occasions and special people.

Wind chime

Wind chimes, although not specific to aunts, make terrific aunt gifts! They produce therapeutic sounds that are appetizing to anyone’s ears. This is one of those gifts where you really can’t go wrong! I personally enjoy the blunt sounds of the bamboo clacking together.

Terrarium

These plant holders make fun decorations for any home and can be coordinated to match any room simply by way of plant selection. This particular one is made from hand-blown, strong borosilicate glass.

Family Feud 40th Anniversary Edition game

This is a show loved by everyone and definitely a fun game to gift your aunt. Besides, it could end up being one played at every family gathering!

Anjou Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser and Humidifier

Essential oils are a tool used by many for health and aromatherapy, and if your aunt is the type who likes things that smell nice, then she will surely love a diffuser. Just don’t forget the oils!

It’s obvious that many aunts have a big soft spot for their nieces and nephews, so get her something that will show that you have a soft spot for her! Choosing gifts doesn’t have to be a long, drawn out process. Just keep in mind everything you know about her and what you love most about her, and the gift should be quite easy to find.
