Gift ideas for my younger brother

[F_R]

:start:

He's in his early tiny teens, interests lie in Pokemon and that so I don't wanna encourage that stuff or waste money that way, he likes listening to Duas and Surahs by Sudais (it's better than nothing), he don't like clothes.

Any ideas?

Something useful that'll benefit him not toys and nonsense like that

Gift ideas for my younger brother

Hmm

* collection of stories of the sahabah
* Is he creative?- calligraphy starter kit
* Stories from the Qur'an for youth
* Collection of hadiths for youth
* a snazzy watch?
* you could take him on a shopping trip to town and go to a halal place where you guys can eat (that's got facilities for niqabis of course)

He's into techy weird stuff
I don't think he'll read unless it's really well put together
Hmmm a watch, yes that's a good one but also something that'll help him in his deen

I hate buying for techy people. I get really stressed out because they're into more elaborate shizz o_o

I just buy them chocolate and give them a gift voucher/money if I'm really stuck.

I wonder if they do Islamic video games, that'd be cool. Maybe something to look into?

Or a dvd related to Islam for youth that's engaging?

Naa I'm not a fan of those things unless you're unable to has your fingers ^ but :jkk:

What if I just ask him what he wants? But that would take he surprise element out of it....

LolMeriadoc nobody watches DVDs anymore I don't think, we've got YouTube for everything

Ask him indirectly?

LOL, I tell people to do that all the time : P 'just ask him/her in a roundabout way.'

Have a conversation with him and somehow make the conversation turn to both of your likes and interests.

I did something similar with my sister and it worked alhamdulillah. From now, keep your ears open to anything your brother says, cause he may be after something specific.

Something along the lines of iPod? You get your techy aspect and he can download all the lectures and surahs to his hearts content.
