DIY gift ideas for a brother?

My oldest brother is 11 years older than I am.  He always lovingly called me his "little miss priss" and was/is such an awesome older brother.  People thought he was my dad when I was a child because he'd take me with him everywhere and was so protective of me.  Today he's a big shot executive for a large oil company across the country and whatever he wants he buys.  What do you get the guy that has everything? I really want to do something for him for xmas that's sentimental.  I've been scrounging the internet for ideas but everything I seem to find is for your husband or dad or really cheesy like a 2nd grader made it.  Not much for your brother.  Anyone stumbled across any cute DIY ideas that would work for an older (Adult) brother?  As far as hobbies goes - his hobby really is his career.  He loves his Starbucks coffee and his iPad.  Has 4 kids.  Otherwise your typical white collar busy business man.

  • What about something like this?

  • Is there a special picture of you guys or something that symbolizes y'alls childhood? You could get it nicely frames for his office.

    My uncle is an attorney now with his own practice but I love a couple of the pictures he has in his office. One is of the little house my grandparents had in Mexico where they lived with their first 9 kids. The other is a picture of my uncle and some of his siblings working in the fields when they were young. To him they symbolize where he came from and where he's been able to get. 

  • I am making photo coasters for some of my family members.  I started some tonight and its super easy, just buy some ceramic tiles from home depot and mod podge photos on them.  If you google diy photo coasters, you will find lots of tutorials.

  • Another idea that is not DIY but maybe one of those hot shaves at a barber? It's kinda like a massage but it's manly.
  • It's a small thing, but that coffee koozie that BabieRabies DIYed is cute and more advanced than kid-style projects.
