I was trying to think of a gift for my brother who seems to have everything. Usually for people like that I seek out something unique that hopefully they have never seen, and that reflects their personality, which often ends up being some decorative thing. But my brother is very practically minded, and probably wouldn’t appreciate something like that. He’s also something of a gadget junkie, so I tried to think of the most practical accessory that he might not already have for one of his prized electronic toys.
I ended up looking at iPad and iPhone accessories, especially covers. I know he has one for his iPhone, and we’ve discussed the merits of one type vs. another in depth, so I already had an idea of what features were important to him. So I looked at covers for ipad since he didn’t have one of those yet. I know he loves to cook (he could be a gourmet if he wasn’t going to medical school instead!), and the cover that fits the iPad is perfect to keep spills and splashes off the screen while reading recipes.
(I’m thinking I could use one of those myself. I usually get recipes from my iPhone, and copy them on paper since I don’t want my iPhone in the kitchen while I’m cooking – I tend to splatter or end up with flour dusting everywhere!)
So there you have it … a practical gift that will be used and appreciated. Now, I might have to get him one of those funny little figurines with a med student to go along with it.
