Options for different interests and budget.

1. Powerful power bank

The brother most likely has a device for 5,000 or 10,000 mAh. Gift a 20,000 mAh power bank or even more. With the help of such a capacious gadget, you can recharge not only smartphones or tablets, but also a laptop (if it has a USB Type-C connector).

2. Virtual reality glasses

A smart gift for a brother who wanted to go on a trip, but because of the quarantine was forced to stay at home. There is a large selection of 3D videos on YouTube and specialized resources, which, if viewed in virtual reality glasses, will allow you to visit Bali, ride a wave on a surf or ride from the steepest slide of the water park. Or maybe your brother wants to go on a safari? Or see the Egyptian pyramids at arm's length? With such a gift it will be possible.

3.3D pen

A gift for someone who loves to create. With the help of a 3D pen, the brother will be able to create various volumetric objects - houses, palaces, racing cars, models of world landmarks. In order not to restrict a loved one in creativity, be sure to attach to the 3D pen a set of plastic threads - consumables with which the little thing will "draw" volumetric pictures.

4. Home mini projector

This is a way to organize your own small cinema at home. An actual gift for a brother - a movie lover who, due to self-isolation, was forced to refuse to visit cinemas.

5. Runaway alarm clock

Or, alternatively, flying. This is a funny gift for a brother to whom you want to hint: in the new year, try not to oversleep.

6. Smart watch

They show the date and time, count the distance traveled per day, heart rate and calories, have an option to track the quality of sleep, and even, depending on the model, give recommendations about sports training. They also look very stylish.

7. Automatic corkscrew

This useful device will remove the cork from the bottle in a matter of seconds without any efforts of the brother. Also, modern automatic corkscrews look like they were created using space technologies, which makes them an interesting toy for many adults.

8. Anti-hangover first aid kit

This option, like the previous one, is only for adult brothers. Pick up a compact organizer (preferably a bright color so you can easily find it) and fill it with tools to help prevent or overcome a hangover. Must-haves for a first aid kit:

• Activated carbon or a more modern solution - a sorbent preparation.
• OTC pain reliever. Prefer ibuprofen or acetylsalicylic acid based products, but avoid the 7 steps to cure your paracetamol hangover.
• Pharmacy solution for rehydration (restoring the level of moisture in the body).
• Mineral water bottle.

Use a biscuit biscuit and a small packet of juice as a New Year's addition. Drinking alcohol lowers blood sugar levels, so hangover headaches and weakness can also be caused by a lack of nutrition in the brain. So carbohydrates will be in place.

9. High knit socks

This is a truly versatile winter gift - warm and atmospheric. Plus, chunky knit socks look stunning when paired with high (hiking or work) boots if you tuck your pants into them.

10. Funny hat

For example, a bright neon color - so that you can't lose your brother even on a gloomy winter street. You can take it with a Marvel print or a truly winter model with dreadlocks and a "beard": this mix of hats and balaclava will reliably protect the chin and cheeks from the wind.

There is also a more universal solution - a set of a hat and a scarf-snood. It will fit well both in casual style and in a business look.

eleven. Balance board

Or, in other words, a balance training board. If your brother has long wanted to master snowboarding or surfing, the balance board will become an inexpensive, interesting and extremely effective simulator.

12. Woodburner

A gift for long winter evenings. Kits for burning wood contain wooden blanks for future paintings, various types of attachments, and detailed instructions that will help you create a real masterpiece.

13. Backpack

This accessory is one of those that cannot be too many. Choose a backpack that matches your brother's lifestyle. Perhaps this will be an option from an expensive extreme brand - with fasteners for a skateboard or roller. Or maybe a brother visits the gym - then he will just have a volumetric model with compartments for shoes and bath accessories. Or he never leaves his laptop - in this case, a specialized backpack with pockets for gadgets will do.

The universal option is a theft-resistant (anti-theft) backpack. Such models are made of durable, cut-resistant reinforced fabric, have reliably closing locks and often RFID-protected pockets (in this case, criminals will not be able to read data from their brother's bank cards).

14. Shaver

The thing every boy over 16 needs. Modern razors look like true masterpieces and provide a quick and comfortable shave on both wet and dry skin.

15. Kit for the care of beard and mustache

Any brother with a beard or mustache will appreciate combs, brushes, styling products, handy scissors for scissors and other accessories packed in a compact wooden or plastic case. By the way, it is convenient to take it with you on business trips and travel.
