Fine Sport Art Sports Poster$18+ shipped

I recently purchased a couple of posters from Fine Sport Art on Etsy after my brother told me it would be a great gift idea for my teen boys. Considering my brother said he’d put one of these in his man cave, I know this would be a touchdown with your brother too if he’s a sports fan. The Fine Sport Art Etsy shop has a plethora of popular football players available from Tom Brady, Ray Lewis, Justin Jefferson, and more. Plus, they offer many other superstars from basketball players like Lebron James to race car drivers. Depending on what you want to spend, you can get prints for just $18 shipped or splurge on a canvas or framed poster to really impress him.

Your brother will want to stock up this mini fridge with all of his favorite snacks and drinks whether he’s a teen or a grown man who loves to chill out and his man cave. The red color is currently the least expensive option, but you can also scoop it up in green, pink, or white depending on his preference.


14. This diagnostic car code scanner is great for any guy who is into cars.

This handy gadget is the perfect gift for brothers! It can quickly solve problems by reading the code errors and determining their cause and can also clear faulty codes on the dash after the issue is fixed. Not only will it save him a ton of money to have a diagnostic test done at a mechanic or auto store, but it’s also great if he is getting into working on cars as a hobby.


15. Take some time to chill with your brother because it’s free and he likely loves the quality time just as much as you.

An experience gift – Potentially FREE!

Some of the very best gifts are experiences money can’t buy and just hanging out with your brother is meaningful, free, and fun whether you have one or three! We’re huge fans of experiences over gifts so if you’re still searching for the perfect gift for brothers then consider something he can do. Consider going on a hiking, fishing, or ski trip, or find a free concert you can both attend together.

You could also buy his experience and consider other fun ideas like an ATV excursion, Tough Mudder 5K, a gift card to his favorite brewery, and much more! Search your local area on Groupon for fun things to save on!


We have gift guides for mom and dad so you can get the whole family done today.
