My brother's birthday is coming up, but I really don't know what to get him. He already has everything he wants—an iPod, an Xbox 360, a bass guitar—and he hasn't been forthcoming with any obvious hints. He still likes to collect Buddhas, though, so I'm considering buying a mounted wall fountain in the shape of Buddha. Everyone likes fountains, right?
He has mostly those small Buddha figurines you see in mall kiosks and Chinese restaurants. It's kind of a weird hobby, but I guess it's innocent enough. The thing is, he doesn't know anything about Buddhism; he just got into collecting them because they were chubby and cheery like he was.
And I don't even know if he understands how to put wall water fountains together. He's not exactly Mister Fix-It. This one time, when we were kids, he somehow broke the handle off of our old Radio Flyer wagon, and he tried to put it back together using Scotch tape. I could forgive him if he wasn't twelve at the time.
Still, I'm getting kind of desperate here. He got me a nice digital camera for my birthday a few months ago, and I always have to try and outdo him.
