I need a cool guy gift idea...
for my brother. He's turning 28 next week. He's pretty picky when it comes to clothing - he just lost a ton of weight, so all of the ladies have been coming knocking on his door lately. I'm sure if I bought him clothes, he wouldn't wear them!
He does enjoy games - any recs?
Or any other "cool" ideas, anyone?

Re: I need a cool guy gift idea...
Gift pack of a variety of beer???
Baseball tickets if he is a sports fan.
By games, do you mean board games?
I love going to BevMo to pick up a bunch of different beers for him and DH. If any of you ladies know beer lovers, it definitely makes a great gift.
And yes, we love playing board games. We're a highly competitive family and love having game night.
You know, I thought about giving him a Nordstrom gift card. The problem is he's such a great gift giver. This year he gave me these burgundy sequined toms ~I'm a huge Wizard of Oz fan and they were so thoughtful.
Ugh, I want to be a good sister too!!!
Maybe you could put together a "games night in a bag" for him. Buy him a new game throw in some beer, munchies, etc - everything he would need to host a games night.
We have had fun playing "The Game of Things" - depending on who you play with it can get hilarious!
My parents bought us for christmas one year these really nice wooden games that a man makes/carves and sells them at a craft show. We got a super nice crib board. One of my sister's got Rummoli, and the other got 5 in a row. You could try to find something like that too.
Our current favorite board games are Bananagrams, Balderdash and Bezzerwizzer.
We've also gotten people Shots and Ladders/Checker Shots. Those could be fun paired with beer!
Or, something like this with the beer: http://www.amazon.com/Rate-That-Paper-Sheets-Knock/dp/B004INTNJE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331515891&sr=8-1
Kate's Recipe Box || Relatively Bookish
J bought me this game for Christmas:
We've taken it with us for game nights with friends and everyone loved it. Definitely a big fan! So far-we've only seen it at Target though.
Some of these games look totally rad. I might have to take a trip to Target for a game... and maybe pick up some whipped cream vodka for shots and ladders!
Side note: if you drink, you haven't lived until you have tried whipped cream vodka!
I love playing Cranium Wow with groups... apples to apples is good too.
I like the idea of game in a bag, too... maybe a game basket... or if he has a favorite band or sport, tickets are always a fun gift, too... depends on what your budget is.
Good for him on the weight loss! After I lost all my weight, I really enjoyed shopping so a gift certificate would probably be appreciated, too...
Preach it! Next on my list is the white cake vodka I FINALLY found this weekend.
