Need to get the big bro something for his 30th, any ideas?

I want to stay below $300 if possible.... Maybe something small, yet creative /special I guess. I thought about cufflinks but I got him some nice ones for being my best man not long ago.

Any ideas?

You can get an original newspaper from the day you were born online, I got one as a birthday present last year, I thought it was a really cool original idea.

That's exactly what I was going to suggest. A man needs a decent pen.

I was going to suggest that as well. But....I've owned a few Monte's and they're not the best pens. My Cross and Waterman's actually write nicer. If you go with a monte the rollerball/fineliner models write much nicer than ball point. The fineliner is almost like a marker and writes nice but the inks goes faster than the rollerball.

Noise canceling headphones are a good gift and if travels a lot get a neck pillow and make a travel pack for him. If he is into electronics and gaming the new Sony vista is outstanding.

The pen is not a bad idea... even though I'' bet on only seeing it around for 6 months due to him losing it! :poke:

Strip club ,and then to the champagne room.... I thought about my Pen idea ,and then realized I got a pack of Uni Ball pens for 2.99 that blow the Mb's away. The key to the strip club is just go to the bank and get 1s and 5s and start slowly.
