10 Sibling Gift Ideas That Are Not Gift Cards
Buying a gift for your sibling can be an extremely difficult task but before resorting to getting a gift card, think again. There are many gifts you can buy your sibling, from something they need like clothes to something that is relative to a personal interest or hobby of theirs. Before panicking and picking up a gift card, check this list of sibling gift ideas out!
1. Coffee Maker
We live in a day and age where everyone needs coffee to get up in the morning. Since the coffee culture is strong basically everywhere, pick up a coffee maker for your sibling so they don’t have to spend their mornings waiting in a long line. If your sibling already has a coffee maker, try to get them something a bit different such as a french press. This is one of the best sibling gift ideas!
2. Video Games
Many people, boys, and girls are into video games. Try to find out what games they like, or look into any new releases. And remember: when you cannot go outside because of the cold winter weather, a video game is the perfect solution.
3. Clothes and Shoes
Clothes and shoes are a basic necessity and you always have to eventually part ways with an old shirt or a beloved pair of shoes, despite how worn out and ratty they are. Get your sibling some brand new clothes and fresh pair of shoes for the winter and so on.
4. Sporting Goods
If your sibling is dedicated to playing a sport, it might be a good idea to invest in new sports gear and equipment for them. You can get them a brand new pair of soccer cleats, or a new lacrosse stick. Even if your sibling is into working out or doing yoga, new workout clothes, or a yoga mat can also be an excellent gift.
5. Something from Their College Bookstore
If you have sibling that’s in college, no gift is easier than a gift from their college bookstore. Get them a hat, a nice sweatshirt they can wear to class or even a tumbler for their morning cup of coffee.
6. Book of the Month Subscription
This is the Ipsy for bookworms. Like Ipsy, this subscription is based on your preferences. You can also choose different plans such as a 3 month, 6 month, and even a one year plan. Also, the shipping is free!
7. Birchbox Subscription
A beauty subscription might be a great idea if your sibling is into makeup. While Ipsy, unfortunately, does not offer gift subscriptions at the moment, Birchbox however does. Like the Book of the Month Subscription, you can choose from a 3 month, 6 month, or 12-month plan.Â
8. Smartphone Gloves
This is the one thing that everyone forgets to buy for themselves. We all own a touchscreen phone, and we all need gloves in the winter. This small gift will definitely be put into good use. Amazon has them for a good cost.
9. Supplies for a Hobby
If your sibling is a hobbyist, one of the best sibling gift ideas is to support their hobby and get them something they need like a new camera bag, canvases, paint brush set, a journal, knitting needles, cookware, etc.
10. Meal Prep Containers Plus a Lunchbox
You probably have a sibling that works full time, or is in school, and you probably understand from experience that when you are busy on the go, it is very tempting to get takeout or fast food. Instead of having your sibling splurge all their money on food, get them a meal prep kit and nice lunch box so they can learn how to make healthy meals at home as well as save their hard earned money. Â
