    If your brother isn't into fashion, maybe find what he is into, I'm sure he'd appreciate this more as it shows you thought about what he really wanted. Often the old 'thought that counts' really does make a difference!

    Does he like books? Amazon have a 65% off sale on at the moment and are saying they will deliver by Xmas.

    Is he into music? I-Tunes vouchers are on offer in a few stores if not HMV do music vouchers if he has an MP3 player or i-pod (just check it will take itunes or mp3 tunes and he has a computer to download things onto) failing that many mobiles offer MP3 and MP4 access (just check he has this type of phone and uses it). And if your not sure, a new pair of earphones may go down well, Senheisser and Sony make some great quality types and are available in many stores.

    Whats your budget? if its a fairly high one (don't worry if its not, most of us are in the same boat) you could get a voucher card for his favorite store, be it Tesco, Nike or a Topman personal shopper if you think he would value from styling tips or if your budget is lower, maybe a card for an eat out place or if he likes them, cafes such as Starbucks, Pret a Manger, Krispy Kreams or similar.

    I also have a old suit. But when a new suit comes in my wardrobe then the old suit welcomes him like a friend, not telling him that you are not welcome.

    Thanks a lot. My brother is not in anywhere. He is always busy with his books. He don't care what is going on outside his own world. When he go outside he does not care what he wears. My budget is quite reasonable.

    He thought I am a spammer. I don't like his attitude. This is shameful. This is how you welcome some new one?
