Renting the 2004 BMW 4 Cylinder for a day for the cheapskates!
Don't forget to include some towing vouchers!
^that or "Road side assist", I reckon usage would exceed cost of membership - bargain!.
Not alcohol or cigarettes.
Maybe a card that has '20' on the front, or a '2' and add the '0' yourself.
Seriously though, with no info on what his interests are, how on earth are you expecting complete strangers to give useful suggestions?
Deposit into super fund. He will thank you, in 50 years time
He will have dementia and won't remember.
Non budget and no hint as to what his interests are. I guess buy him a horse, I would have liked one of those when I was 20, heck I’d like a one now.
As the owner of 2 horses I think this is a great idea. Don't forget the $70k 4WD to pull the $15k float to put the $7k horse in.
mah be relalistic mate
a pink pony
for a 20th, i would expect nothing but a unicorn
buy him a new brother
one that knows what he wants for his birthday lol
Ticket to whore island or PS5
couldn't find on Google Maps. Please advise.
totally forgot about that…might have to re-watch from S1E1
Slightly different but you could try Pen Island instead.
Website is penisland.com
Have we fallen down the big 'assumptions' path about the brother's sexual preferences?
Its a sexist to think "whore" is specially a female descriptor
Never heard of a man-whore? :p
You spelt horse wrong…
A gold subscription to OzBargain
introduction to ozb
then he can buy his own presents.. everyday! literallymy little brother
He is turning 20yonot that little anymore :)
what does he already have already to narrow down options?
Otherwise Eneloops as you are asking in OzB.
I highly recommend some sort of Driver Training Course - assuming he has some sort of driver's license.
Cheesy at it may sound, it's a gift that'll last a lifetime :)
That's a funny looking Camry. Possibly an ex taxi on LPG in that colour. Renter beware.
How does that have an intensity of 4/5?
0.1 BTC today will buy him a Cybertruck in 5 years time.
Then 5 years after that it might be worth 10 cyber trucks as the crypto crowd would like you believe.
Crypto is a fiat bubble. People keep on ramming fiat into it causing it until they all want to take it out.
Fiat is the bubble. The more brrrrrrr, the more people can look forward to seeing their other assets gain in value.
There is no point in being salty. Do the opposite and take this opportunity to make wife changing wealth.
There is no point in being salty
Typical crypto people. If I got 0.000000001BTC for everyone that uses the term to accuse someone of being salty I would be a millionaire.
If crypto is such a sure fire why do people even sell / spent crypto? It is like the $750m pizza guy. Most crypto people are just salty they can't have their cake (hold the crypto) and eat it (spend it) at the same time. Actually you can in a 51% attack.
A vasectomy.
A watch.
+1 for a watch! As a gift to someone who is likely not a watch nerd I'd probably get a quartz as they're hassle free- Autos under $1k can be fairly inaccurate and the recipient might not find it as charming having to reset the time every week.
I purchased my brother a $100 Casio Duro as it's water resistant and he liked the diver style, however other brands like Seiko, Citizen, Hamilton, Tissot, Longines, and Oris all have great models depending on your budget.
A fly-in ticket on Jetstar to the Avalon air-show in November.
One way ticket?
I'm waiting for OP to come back and respond with:
- No, brother doesn't like flying
- No, brother doesn't need a watch
- No, brother wants kids
- No, brother doesn't like BTC
- No, brother doesn't like driving
Etc.Horse FTW
Maybe just ask him. If he's anything like my son he doesn't need anything. Maybe take him out. Go see a movie together.
Also budget would be helpful
A one-time use visa card with a certain amount of cash loaded to it. cause you have given us nothing to go buy other then he don't drink or smoke. So that pre paid visa, he can just go buy something with it.
Pay one of his bills/loan repayments
Rego
Re-new a subscription
Lessons for something
A weeks rent.Second hand good condition The Barefoot Investor. The gift that keeps on giving.
Massage with a happy ending.
Performed by OP?
lol.. whatever makes you happy! 🤣
Whatever makes 20Y brother happy.
I would've loved to have a decent specced PC or a new console… or even better cash so that I can choose what to use it on.
Anyways, happy 20th birthday for your younger brother and hope he has a wonderful day that day.
Don't forget cash back!
Fully comp car insurance. trust me.
A 20yo girl
A 40yo woman. Give him a taste of the future.
Again, have we fallen down the big 'assumptions' path about the brother's sexual preferences?
40YO man.
Restoring balance to the universe.
Sorry, joke wasn't woke enough huh?
Jumping to the defense of the brother's sexual preference, vs the fact that the joke implies that the 20yo girl is a commodity to just be given…
Says it all really about how you chose to take offence to that joke…
You posted it, I didn't.
@GG57: I posted a joke, a joke which was clearly a joke and you decided to take offence to the sexuality reference
You took offence on behalf of someone else…
You know how ridiculous that is?
@spackbace: Your post is about 4 hours after someone else posted the same 'idea'.
How can a reader determine from the words "A 20yo girl" that this is a joke.
I haven't taken offence; I asked a question.@GG57: Whore island is the same idea as a 20yo girl?
OK then… Didn't realise all 20yo girls are whores
@GG57: Maybe you need to stop taking offence for someone else?
You took "whore island" to imply females, when gender wasn't specified. You likened a comment to a 20yo girl to be the same idea as "whore island". You took offence at both comments, not by the likening of the girls as objects but rather the OP's brother's sexual preference.
You really need to take a look inward before judging the 2 comments you replied to
You efforts are wasted here, get a job with Gillette marketing and you can take offense on behalf of others, and get paid!
Since no budget provided - you could buy him an apartment and advise him to use it as a shag pad - nodding and winking when you say this is mandatory.
Buy him some shares or ETFs?
As a 20-year-old, gift cards are probably the best - handy for paying for food, fuel, etc.
I have no use for anything else
/shrugFor example, the Prezzee GC
Or cash
I would suggest a pair of alpacas, or perhaps 3-4 of them.
You didn’t post a budget or his interests. I suggest a Leatherman or a Nintendo Switch.
Hi guys looking for gift ideas for my little brother.
He is turning 20 in a week and a bitExpensive perfume. Tom Ford. Creed. Chanel.
Bottle of bourbon to grow hairs on his chest
A house
A Hooker
I buy subscriptions eg. Spotify, Youtube, Netflix, Kayo.
Buying a 12 month subscription is a pretty easy gift and something most people use.Does he have a car? If you ok with him beforehand, you could both come up with a number plate that will cost about 100 in nsw if you go something like abc12a or ab12ab. Then it's 100 a year after that, but he gets something special, and since you conferred with him beforehand, that yearly fee is expected.
Hey bro, will you accept a gift you have to pay for each year??
I can see how that's going to go.
He doesn't drink?? Take him to the pub.
Buy him a few bags. Of chips.
Give $20 cash, pick up only.
what are his interests?
if he is into movies i know some cinemas will let you book out a theatre and they have a list of films you can watch or you can bring in a console and play it on the big screen
A nice high quality wallet.
Oculus VR. Every one of my mates that had a go loves it. Incorporates gaming along with some pretty intense workouts (like the boxing games). Picture quality is amazing and feel like you are in virtual reality.
What is your brother into?
I always gift things that I believe the receiver doesn't know they need….I wouldn't buy a gamer, games because they would have already bought it for themselves (unless it's expensive).
Doesn't drink or smoke
Do people gift cigarettes?
Go to the beach and collect some shells. Make some cardboard from recycled paper. Glue the shells on to the cardboard that spells out 'Love you bro, Happy 20th'
Visa gift card
A 2004 BMW 4 cylinder
(Watch out ladies)
