Buying Christmas gifts for brothers is never as simple as it should be. He says he doesn't need anything, and somehow that's never actually true. An experience gift solves it. Instead of another item that ends up in a drawer, he gets to pick a day that's actually his, then go and live it. That's the whole idea behind a RedBalloon voucher: less unwrapping, more doing. Whether you're chasing a Christmas gift for a brother who lives for speed, a Christmas present for a brother who'd rather be outdoors, or Christmas gift ideas for a brother who insists he has everything already, there's something below that fits. Here are our best Christmas gifts for brothers this year, sorted by the kind of brother you're shopping for. Gift a story you can’t wait to hear.
Every brother is different, so the best Christmas present ideas for brothers are the ones that actually suit him, not just the first thing you saw on a gift guide.
If he's always keen for a bit of friendly competition, go-kart racing puts him and a few mates on the track for an afternoon of genuine racing, four races in, bragging rights on the line.
Prefer something that tests his brain instead of his reflexes? An escape room experience gives him ninety minutes to crack the clues with his crew before the clock runs out. Good for the brother who's convinced he's the smart one.
Older brothers tend to know exactly what they like, which can make them harder to shop for, not easier. If golf is his thing, a golf lesson with a PGA pro gives him something to work on, not just another club he'll never swing.
For the brother who rates a good beer above most things, beer tasting paired with a BBQ smoking class in Sydney covers two of his favourite subjects in one sitting.
This is where an experience earns its keep. Here are a few Christmas gift ideas for brothers who are genuinely hard to shop for.
Coming up with the best Christmas gift for your brother doesn't have to mean guessing. Pick the experience that matches how he actually spends his weekends, and you'll land on one of the good Christmas presents for brothers he'll still be talking about well into next year.
If you're shopping for more than one person this year, RedBalloon has you covered across the whole family.
Look at how he spends his time off, then match the gift to that. A good Christmas present for a brother isn't about spending big, it's about picking something he wouldn't book for himself, whether he's more of a gamer or a golfer.
If he's the outdoorsy type, a clay target shooting experience in Belmont is a solid pick for Christmas presents for older brothers who like being outside and having fun.
A Camaro or Mustang V8 supercar drive in Queensland puts him behind the wheel of a genuine muscle car for five laps. Hard to top for Christmas presents for brothers who talk about horsepower more than most people are comfortable with.
A jet ski safari with an island stop is a great Christmas gift idea for a brother who's happiest near the water, and it's built for two if he wants to bring someone along.
Go bigger. A tandem skydive over Newcastle is the kind of Christmas present for a brother who's ticked off most things on his list already, up to 15,000 feet with a beach in view the whole way down.
Yes. RedBalloon vouchers are ready to gift instantly, so if you're still hunting for Christmas gift ideas for brothers on Christmas Eve, you're not out of options yet.
Got a little brother or a younger brother who's harder to impress? The same rule applies whether he's the youngest or the eldest in the family: a good Christmas present for younger brothers, or for the big brothers too, is one that matches an interest he actually has, not just his age.
