Ideas for a graduation gift for my brother...

My brother is graduating college in June and DH and I want to get him something nice. I know he would appreciate money, but I'd like to give him something lasting. It's also a combination birthday gift since his birthday is just a few days after graduation. We are looking to spend $200-$300. I'd like to spend more but I had to buy a flight to go to the graduation. I wouldn't mind splitting the money between a gift that will last and something more "disposable" (i.e. clothes, etc).

Any suggestions? I'll have to fly with it so it can't be huge either.

What kind of career is he in, maybe a nice brief case with his initials. I'll keep thinking.

He's going to be a video game designer.

That sounds like a really cool job!

I don't really have any ideasChat Icon I know after I graduated, one thing I needed to buy were more professional clothes.

An IPOD. Or something for his computer in relation to his field.

What about an engraved business card holder? It is something he probably wouldn't buy himself and would probably keep for a while. You could get either the type that sits on the desk, or the type that you put in your pocket that holds 10-15 cards. I also use one of those legal pad covers a lot in meetings - the leather folder type things, that you can put a pad of paper in, and it has a pocket on the other side and a pen holder.

Someone hinted to me that they were going to get me a briefcase once, but I have never carried one, and if I did, I think it is something I would prefer to choose myself.

Maybe a gift card to men's wearhouse for the work clothes he might need for his first job, or gift card for ebgames so he can do some "research." Or a nice engraved watch or moneyclip for all the money he's going to make. My FH is a programmer and he loves flash drives. They have all different ones at varying levels of fanciness, and they're always indispensible.
