Benefits

brother and sister exchanging gifts

A great way to show your brother how much he means to you, or to let him know you’re doing okay for yourself, is to send him a gift he’ll surely remember: something luxurious, sophisticated… and expensive. Spending a little more on a gift brings with it some excellent benefits that are not to be overlooked. Let’s walk through a few of them.

Personalized Experience

For a small additional fee, many gifts can be personalized. You could add his initials, name, the date, or even a few words to express how you feel or what he means to you… perhaps even allude to an inside joke. The result will be unique, and personal.

Versatility in Usage

Many expensive items have multiple function capabilities. Watches might have moon phases or perpetual calendars, or a laptop bag might have a wallet pocket with RFID protection. These added features add value, both financially and in a practical sense.

Enhanced Durability

Expensive gifts are usually gifts of high quality and construction, which means they are likely to last longer than lower-quality, lower-priced alternatives.

Compatibility with Leading Brands

Wearing a designer suit and pulling out a cheap pen kills the effect, but pull out an elegant pen from a major luxury pen company, like Mont Blanc, and you can even elevate the impact and feel of a high-end look.

Status Symbol

Expensive gifts also serve as status symbols, marking a level of success, exclusivity, and sophistication. Not everyone can afford expensive things, so wearing or using one can signal to those around that there is success going on.

Ideal for Special Occasions

Expensive items are at home with almost any occasion, whether it marks and anniversary, birthday, promotion, graduation, or other special milestone.

Stellar Performance

Tech items form the top shelf will also bring top shelf performance, ensuring the best in sound quality, processing speeds, reliability, and number of functions.

Unique Design and Craftsmanship

That added expense may have gone into raising the bar for design or exclusivity. Premium gifts may have limited edition designs, functions, or other features that are not available at lower price points.

Investment Value

Certain expensive items don’t appreciate after purchase; they increase in value as time passes. These gifts are investments, as well as treasured items.

How to Choose

two brothers in suits exchanging gifts

You probably know your brother pretty well, but if you don’t, take some time to talk to those in his inner circle and find out a few things. You’ll want to know and consider who he is, and how he presents himself, so you can choose the best gift.

Personal Preferences and Interests

Consider his hobbies first. If he’s into golf, for example, a new set of golf clubs, a designer golf bag, or even membership at a club for a year, are examples of expensive gifts that he might love to receive.

If he loves technology, then the top VR set, drone, or other gadget might be a hit.

Collectibles

Rare collectibles are also an excellent choice, especially if he has a particular interest. Anything from rare comic books to exclusive bottles of wine would suit. A first issue of a comic from a shared childhood can evoke strong memories and feelings of brotherly camaraderie.

Age and Life Stage

Consider where he is in life, too. A new motorcycle might not be the best gift for a man about to have his first child, for example. Choose something like a gaming console for a younger man, a premium experience for someone in midlife, or an engraved pen for someone in later life.

Practicality

Some items are for daily use, like luxury toiletries, designer glasses, or a premium briefcase. Others are for occasional use, like high-end cufflinks, or a tuxedo to wear them with. Consider which type you would rather give.

Utility with Elegance

Some gifts are just for show. They elevate the look of a space, and that’s a great thing. Other gifts have uses, and the way they look if often sacrificed for utility. A great idea is to find a gift that is both useful, and exquisitely beautiful, so it serves more than one function. A handmade leather desk organizer is a prime example of this.

Exclusivity and Rarity

Any time a gift is more exclusive or rare, such as limited editions, personalized gifts, or hard-to-find items, the perceived value of them goes up.

Experiences Over Material Goods

The gift of an unusual experience is a great option too. From masterclasses in an area of interest, to vacations abroad, to hot air balloon rides, to training sessions with a skilled coach, the gift of an experience can set your gift well above the pile of items on the table, giving lifelong memories instead.

Sentimental Value

Any item or experience that evokes a shared childhood memory can be a powerful gift. Consider a book you both read, some time in a childhood vacation spot, or a restored family heirloom like a watch or piece of furniture.

Historical Significance

An item that is somehow tied to your family history might become a cherished gift too. A little research into the family background will trigger some ideas. An item from the year of his birth can be interesting too, and show thoughtfulness.

Examples are a copy of a newspaper or magazine from that day or month, together with a vintage watch from the same time period.

Eco-Conscious Picks

Try to be sustainable and eco-friendly in your choice. A high-quality bamboo fiber suit, for example, is not only sustainable, but also stylish, comfortable, and cool.

Budget and Value

If you buy an expensive gift, it is more likely to increase in value over time. High end brands, top-quality items, and items that are made to endure for decades or even generations, are good things to look for.

Types

Each gift category has several types of gifts from which to choose. Let’s take a deeper dive into high-end leather bags and briefcases to consider some examples.

Briefcases

Obviously useful for transporting and protecting laptops, tablets, documents, and other essential items, the briefcase also does a lot for the look of the man who carries it. A professional, elegant, strong first impression is important, and the right briefcase will help to do that too.

Backpacks

For a more casual choice, a high-end backpack will delivery that same first-impression punch, but on a less formal level.

Stylish and super functional, a backpack allows for hands-free carrying, even while cycling or on a train commute.

Messenger Bags

Employing a strap across the body to carry it, the messenger bag is a more casual option than the briefcase. It is still at home in most offices, but transitions well to more casual after work functions too – all while serving well on a train or walking commute.

Duffel Bags

The heavy haulers of the luxury bag world, duffels are simple, cylindrical bags that are quick to pack, can be stuffed into overhead bins, car trunks, or tight corners, and put up with a lot of rugged treatment. They can also be stylish, though, and come in a range of sizes to suit different needs.

Alternatives

If something still hasn’t caught your eye, consider a few alternatives to these traditional choices.

Luxury Watch

Instead of a luxury wristwatch, consider a customized wristband or bracelet, a pocket watch, or even a high-end sundial for the back yard.

High-end Audio Gear

Why not go nostalgic or retro instead, with a rare vinyl record to play or display, or even an antique gramophone – either authentic or a quality reproduction.

Premium Leather Wallet

Maybe a personalized money clip is a cooler choice, or an exquisite leather passport holder.

State-of-the-art Gaming Console

If he is a gamer, but is already set up with the latest tech, you could go the other way, giving board games, or high-end puzzles, for an evening of unplugged gaming instead.

Fine Art Piece

Instead of choosing art for him, you could commission a piece but let him give the guidelines to the artist, ensuring he gets what he wants. You could also help him explore his artistic side by giving him the art supplies themselves, and letting him make his own creation.

Top-tier Camera Equipment

Instead of gear, you could give him a camera course, a trip somewhere to take photos, or a package of printing and framing vouchers so he can put his pieces up to be admired.

Luxury Travel Accessories

Likewise, rather than giving travel items, you could give a weekend away, a cruise, or a trip to see a favorite band in concert, or stand-up comedian.

Advanced Sports Equipment

Instead of more sports gear, you could arrange for the two of you to go to a game, and score some courtside seats. Other experiences, like rock climbing, diving, or sessions with coaches are good ideas too.

Post Purchase Considerations

We at Von Baer want you to enjoy the whole process of choosing and purchasing a gift for your brother, and we want your brother to enjoy it afterward, too.

To help with this, we have included some things to consider once you have a gift in mind, to ensure that it is the right choice.

Preferences

Picture your brother, and then picture the gift. Does it suit him? Does he already own something much like it? Is this the style he wants to stay in, or more toward?

Budgetary Restrictions

Is this the right amount to spend? Higher quality comes with higher price tags, but make sure it is within your budget too. When unsure, prioritize quality over quantity. Less of a great thing is better than a lot of something mediocre.

Potential for Personalization

Can this gift be made even more special through personalization? A luxury watch is a good gift, but add an engraving and it becomes a great one. Special. Remembered.

Timeliness and Delivery

Make sure the gift can get there in time. Some items take a bit longer, especially if they are being customized or personalized. Try to shop where the store offers tracking, so you don’t have to worry.

Sustainability and Ethics

Is this gift sustainable and ethically produced? Choose brands or providers like Von Baer, for high quality products and transparency about sourcing and production.

FAQs

Why choose a high-end gift for my brother?

High end gifts work better, last longer, and look great. To show that you care, that he is valued – and maybe even to show that you yourself are doing well in life – a high-end gift is the way to go.

Can I have the gift personalized or engraved?

Many gifts are suitable to be engraved, and we can often do that. See options in the products details.

How long will delivery take?

Delivery times vary based on your location, the type of gift, whether or not it is personalized, etc. Estimated delivery times will be shown at the time of checkout.

Can I include a personal message or gift wrapping?

Yes. Gift wrapping is available with most items, and you can add a personal message during the checkout process.

Do you offer international shipping?

Yes. We offer international shipping to several countries. Please see our shipping policies page for details.
