My brother is off to Iraq in April and i wanted to get him something nice for his birthday. Any good ideas?

Thanks Neil

If you can mention your brother's age & the kind of things he is interested in, it may give people more of an idea of what to suggest.

Is he in the forces?

something to remind him of home

Very best wishes to your bro and I hope he stays safe

He will be 28, he's into sports and rugby in particular. Yes he is in the forces.

How about a rugby top and all of the close family could sign it so he will have a little bit of each of you near him when he wears it.

Sometimes memories last longer than tangible things, so I would go with something that he can do with either family or friends. Experience days or activity weekend away etc??

I bought me and my lot indoor skydiving for Christmas this year, but there are LOADS of activity things to do like driving days etc, has he got a fave performance car that he's never even seen before let alone driven??

websites like

have some great personalised things, tee shirts, hoodies and even jigsaw puzzles. but if you find something interesting, google it and find a cheaper or better version.

He's not really into cars and that and an activity day wouldn't be his thing. He's quite difficult to buy for really!

you could maybe give him a book, a joke book perhaps or what about a board game, think of something that would be useful in his off duty time as i am sure they wont be out much and it coul get pretty boring and its something he and his mates could do. my son is off to iraq in the summer and he is away 4 months
