my brother is graduating from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in about 2 weeks, and i'm going out to visit him... but i have NO idea what to give him as a graduation present. we don't talk much since we live pretty far away and we're both so busy with our own lives, so i'm really not sure what he's into besides nuclear engineering, math/science, playing the piano, and wine. the kid is 20 years old, a complete genius, acts a lot older than his age, and dresses like a CEO.

he's going to grad school at MIT this fall, so he'll be moving to Boston. ive thought about getting him something cool for his apartment, but i'm not sure what he wants/needs.

it also needs to be something fairly portable, since i'll be bringing it out with me on a plane.

any ideas?

no no no... i need a gift for my brother, not RJT!

my brother is pretty much straight-edge when it comes to partying/drugs. he likes to drink, but not really to get wasted. he'd rather have a bottle of fine wine, than a keg of cheap beer.

a great bottle of wine is always a very good gift (especially since he's under 21 and can't buy it himself). see if you can find out if there is a particular type of wine your bro especially enjoys and go to a respected wine shop and have someone there help you pick out a good bottle. a good champaigne or other sparkling white would be great since he would be celebrating his graduation.


and yeah your bro sounds like a complete genious

yeah, i've done the bottle of wine as a gift so many times for him, just because it's an easy solution that i know he'll enjoy... but i kinda wanna do something a bit more special for his graduation.
