Growing up with brothers is a unique experience. On the one hand, they’re protective, wise and caring. On the other hand? They know exactly how to push our buttons. Somehow, we still absolutely love them and relish the opportunity to show it with a personalized gift that screams “I know you better than anyone.”

Below we’ve rounded up 28 Christmas gifts for brothers (and brothers-in-law) of all kinds from foodies to to jetsetters to gamers. Plus, we’ve broken them down into price categories to make it easy to find something that won’t break the bank. Before you head straight to our gift ideas, think about his needs and interests. Is he obsessed with ice cream and sorbet? Treat him to the popular Ninja Creami so he can make frozen treats at home. Is he a shoe enthusiast? You can't go wrong with a stylish pair of loafers from Rothy's. Did your little brother recently get a new job? Help him look the part with a sleek leather briefcase from the Coach Outlet. Is he a gift card or gift box kind of guy? We've got a mix of personalized and practical gifts for every type of brother down below.

By the way, a lot of these great gifts are on sale for Black Friday. Want even more options? Check out more of our best gift ideas for men.
