please help pick gift for millionaire

okay, so my brother is a millionaire screenwriter who can buy himself anything he wants. he told me not to worry about getting him a gift unless something jumped out at me--he said the only things he wants are more time and more relaxation.

can anyone think of anything that i can BUY that is good for relaxation? it feels weird not to get my big brother anything for christmas.

TIA for any ideas!

    You can buy him a gc for a massage or mani/pedi. 

    Does he have kids?  If so, offer to babysit.

    Make him a h

    These were my two thoughts as well.

    Make him a home cooked meal or take him out to dinner.

    When you were growing up, what was his favorite food/dessert/book/movie? If you can recreate any of those, he would probably enjoy it and relax via the nostalgia :)

    But I was going to recommend babysitting too :)

    Get him a fun zen rock garden for his desk, a stress reliever.  They make really neat ones too, my DH has one with construction trucks and his clients love playing with it and now his boss wants one.

    If he doesn't have kids - maybe something handmade by yours?   A mug or apron for grilling or something with handprints?  Or just a nice frame with a pic of him with your LO?

    I always do something handmade or food for relatives like that.

    I make a killer chocolate raspberry ice cream sundae topping or a batch of cookies/fudge.

    I'm all for edible when it comes to someone who has everything or the means to get it. Zingerman's has some great stuff.

    Ditto. We also like Dean & Deluca and Harry & David gift sets.

    I have this sameproblem every year. This year we gave him starbucks gift cards because he goes there everyday. I have thought about massage gc too but i know he is particular about where/who he goes to. We always just give him a gift card to somewhere.

    First of all- I want to know who he is!

    I would give something from your DS. Something homemade or a photo of them together in a nice frame.?

    Does he live near by and have children? You could always offer babysitting for a weekend if he wants to get away.

    Otherwise, maybe a massage or something?
