It's my brother's 30th on the 9th so I'm going to try and ship him a little something as he's living out in NZ (which makes things a bit trickier), I've sent him whisky before ordered online from a NZ store but as its one of the bigger birthdays I'd thought see if you guys had any less generic suggestions? He's very similar to me in likes.

Is he married ?

a ticket home

with 2 kids iirc

Yep, married with a toddler and a baby

I would be looking at stuff that you would 'miss' in NZ like marmite, UK beer, branston pickle or weetabix or whatever, if that makes sense, though I dunno what he would 'miss' or what you can't get in NZ, but you get the idea

It's a good idea, I know they have ex-pat stores they can go to in order to get stuff like that, I'm not actually sure what sort of things they do/would get though so it's a tricky one.
