Christmas tip: If they're under 30, male and single, they probably want money
My wife and I were thinking about a Christmas present for her brother the other day. He’s 25 and single, so really, what do you get him? Not “something for the house,” not clothes, not DVDs or other stuff – he could care less about stuff for his home and if he wanted to buy anything else for himself, he’d probably have found a way to. I know, I was the same way before I hit 30 and got married and settled into a house. So let’s call it a rule of thumb: if you don’t know what a single, under-30 guy wants for a present, just get them cash or a gift card. Gift cards are of course just cash that’s laundered to be a gift in a socially acceptable way.
