Need gift ideas

[la79al]

I need some ideas on what to get my brothers for Christmas. One is about 25, owns a house and has a (live-in?) girlfriend. I know they like watching movies so I was thinking about putting together a basket but adding an actual movie would just about drain the $20-25 budget. I think that they tend to buy their movies or maybe Redbox so a giftcard for Blockbuster wouldn't really help. Suggestions?
My other brother is early 20s, still lives at home but is supposed to be moving out in the near future. He has a longtime girlfriend but I really don't know what they like to do. I know my brother could use a gift card for the gas station near the house but I would like to be more exciting than that, again $20-25. I was thinking a blender and mixed drink ingredients but the blender alone is looking around $20. Suggestions?

- Is it cold where you are? Some stylish gloves or a hat from Marshalls or other outlet store.
- A nice leather belt. I know my 28 year old guy goes through those quickly.
- A quality leather wallet.
- An engraved silver keychain.
- Lottery tickets are always a hit!
- Magazine subsriptions.

I find for situations like this, where you have $20 to $30 to spend but want to get something nice, it pays to visit places like Kohls and Marshalls. Good luck!

You could still do the movie basket if you wanted too. Do you have a dollar tree or anything near you? You can buy the candy there just like the movies sell for $1 each. You can buy the microwave movie popcorn, and walmart has sme movies for $5-$10 each. Also check best buy for movies and amazon. They have some awesome deals as well.

I like to give gifts like you, and it's hard when you have to do it for a couple. Maybe a giftcard to a restaurant if they don't have much extra cash so they can have a date night out?

I was at Target today and they had some cute plastic containers that looked like the ones you get at the movies and they were like $1 or so a piece. You pick those up to add to your basket. Also in the mall here there is a music/movie etc store. Maybe a gift card there and he can pick out something he'd like.
