Default What does a 29 year old male want for christmas

I'm already christmas shopping and I always have the toughest time buying a gift for my younger brother who is turning 29 day after christmas. This will be a combination xmas and b-day present. I'm willing to spend around 200. Can anyone give me some ideas?
His hobbies are similar to most guys on 6mt.
Computers, dvd's, video games, gadgets.
He owns a toyota tacoma 4x4 truck.
Any help would be appreciated.

Does he already have one of each of PS2, XBox, GameCube? If not, you could get him one that he is missing.

Or how about a fancy new mobile phone or PDA? Only problem is, $200 may not be enough to get a really nice one.

does he have stuff for his truck and does he like to fix it up? ive got a tacoma too, how about a radar detector, fog lights, grill guard, wider fender flares, nerf bars, spray in bedliner?

digital camera, digital video camera, dvd burner, or you can always get him a gift certificate to best buy.

Definitely go with an iPod or iPod mini. Also, get him a FM transmitter so he can put it in his truck.

A hot 26 year old female.


That being said, you can get a lot of ideas from magazines catering to that demographic (Stuff, Maxim, Electronics gear, Car magazines)

You might consider a nice watch, a bottle of an upscale variety of his favorite beverage, or when all else fails, a gift certificate to the Sharper Image.

American Express gift card for $200 would be nice...

Then he can add additional money to it for a more expensive item or buy several least expensive items.

Gift Card!

I appreciate the input.
Did the gift card for 2 years.
Did the Visa gift card 1 year and he didn't use it until a year later and they charged him a fee for using it.
Did the watch and he has most of the toys mentioned.
Mini ipod sounds like a neat idea or stuff for his truck....
hot 26 year old female would be the best gift.. wouldn't cost me anything (I think)... may cost him a lot though.

A 29 year old female could definitely bankrupt him.

Get him an RC car. They can run under $200 dollars depending on what u get. Some of them already come ready to run. I'm sure u can find a duratrax car that will fit ur budget. Or u can get him the ones he needs to built. If he is artistic he might enjoy painting the bodies...and of course all the guys love the part where u race and trash ur car then replace the parts to go bashing again. []

Here are a few websites.

www.hobbypeople.net
www.towerhobbies.com

Towerhobbies is good....I recommend U order it from them. I usually just go to hobbypeople to look at prices and see if they can beat tower but usually thats not the case. But don't get me wrong hobbypeople has great instore customer service, especially if ur the lazy kinda that does the bashing part but are to lazy to fix the car...just bring it in and ask them to help u fix it.
