Brother's Birthday Gift

[queenofcats]

What shows does he watch?

Thinkgeek is a good resource, lots of different gifts in multiple price ranges. Things I own and want to own, etc. he'd probably enjoy.

What kind of nerd? This is important.

Ummmm is there a list of the different categories of nerds?

He likes stupid facts, he is a computer nerd, outdoors/diy/survivalist.

When he was in high school he played Dungeons&Dragons / Magic.

This is very different from, like, a Whovian.

Would he be into something like an escape room?

DH loves to cook meat- we have a green egg. I bought DH a really good digital meat thermometer and bear claws for ripping meat apart. You can do a meat of the month club?

We once got an Omaha Steak delivery as a Christmas gift and it was pretty good. Our package had some steaks and hamburgers and they were good quality. They have different combos to choose from.

Dry rubs or seasonings, BBQ or other sauces from his favorite restaurants.

Outdoor smoker, most are pretty pricey but there are some smaller ones too.

I love that you think planning on the 14th for a birthday at the end of the month is "cutting it kind of close."

From: The lady Amazon prime-ing all birthdays the week of or hitting up Walgreens day of.

ETA- just read the part about the your whole family being "weirdly organized," lol. So that makes sense.

My whole family is weirdly unorganized....

Are you my husband's sister? Goodness, I wish- LOL!

My DH is grocery shopping right now, but he has some tech programming gadget that you can make anything automated with. Or something like that. When he gets home, I'll ask what it's called. He geeks out hardcore when he busts it out.

Arduino, but he seconds the Raspberry Pi

Seriously! I am usually running into Target on the way to a birthday party, so this is downright early for me!

I third Raspberry Pi!

I was thinking the green egg too.

Check out zingermans- they have amazing meat packages and things like meat of the month clubs

Depending where he is I also like the state parks pass

Omg I am salivating looking at all the meats!

There's something called Man Crates - they have differento themed "gift boxes" (there actually crates that you open with a crow bar) and lots of them are meat themed!

[lotsoflotts]

@justinslovo they have these salt blocks that are apparently fantastic for cooking meat
