23 Brother of the Bride Gifts He'll Treasure

After saying "I do," it's easy to get caught up in married bliss. But before you get too comfortable, there are some postwedding to-dos to complete, like writing thank-you notes. Family (especially siblings) deserve extra love. That's why we've made this list of brother of the bride gifts, as your special sibling deserves a thank-you more meaningful than some words on cardstock. Whether he walked you down the aisle, was your man of honor or helped you choose party favors for guests, surprising him with a thoughtful thank-you gift will make him feel appreciated while also strengthening your bond.

Family can be tough to shop for—especially brothers—but it's always a safe bet to tailor the gift to his interests and hobbies. If he's the outdoorsy type, then consider a quality hiking bag. If he enjoys a night at home, he'll probably love a plush robe. Either way, there are no budget rules or requirements you need to follow. As long as you put thought and love into it, he's sure to appreciate whatever you surprise him with. To give you some extra help, we've got a range of heartfelt thank-you gifts from the bride to her brother for every budget and interest that'll really wow him.
