Gift Ideas

My brother is impossible to shop for and what makes things worse i have to get either a big gift or a few small gifts because Christmas is also his birthday (and yes he does think of himself as one who can walk on water).

so far Ive been able to scrape by with awesome gifts including last years which is an actual replica of the hoverboard used in back to the future 2. i told that bojo that it wouldnt work on water unless he had some more power but thats neither here nor there.

ive been using think geek from time to time when i cannot think of anything else to get but this year that well seemingly has run dry.

so i need some help from you guys. anyone has any good techie sites for weird gadgets? (unfortunately no nerd stuff unless its bttf related)

hes into scuba (but already has an underwater camera case)
computer stuff and general gadgetry
back to the future as i stated before (he already has the hat, and sneakers)
drums kinda
i wish he was still in his hockey phase cause that would be easy


dvd's are not an option, i still see a few of the box sets ive given him in the past still in its shrink wrap lol

anything you can toss out? my main focus is the gadgetry angle since most other venues seems tapped out

One year I even gave her a coupon for her birthday for "ONE FREE BOX OF AIR!" with redemption information printed at the bottom and everything. ) Wow. If I thought people would pay us $10 USD to sell boxes of air, I'd have gone into that business ages ago.

Then she can't collect. IIRC it actually had a one-year expiration policy.

I really like the concept behind The Something Store.

I bought 7 of them. Lucky number 7.
