The SB's brother will be enlisting in the Army shortly after Christmas.

What Christmas gifts would be appropriate for him?

Thanks.

He's not much of a reader, and his best friend just graduated from Marine basic at Pendleton, so he's pretty well aware of the physical requirements. He's already spending a lot of time at the gym.

Come to think of it, after two years of blowing her doors off at Christmas, I just realized I got nothing for her this year. Time is an ally, for at least a bit.
