It's so difficult to shop for a guy/brother, often because they make their own money and just buy whatever they like (or they want something too expensive like their dream car), what types of things do guys like besides the typical stuff like cologne or video games?
Just ask them what they need, or ask them for their Amazon wish list?
For my female friends I used to make gifts for them..write long letters, buy cards, draw pics..and they still love them and cherish them haha they send me messages like "remember when you made this" and they keep it for years. I don't knowww if guys are as sentimental and also it's just..too personal.

Perhaps a nice calligraphy canvas?
Or you can never go wrong with a good book (the best gift imo).
Calligraphy canvas is a good idea I don't know about books because people have different tastes, plus I'm honestly not much of a reader :X Maybe islamic books though..more practical.

Narrated Jubair ibn Mut’im: The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W), said: "He is not one us who calls for `Asabiyah, (nationalism/tribalism) or who fights for `Asabiyah or who dies for `Asabiyah." [Sunan Abu Dawud (Vol. 2, pg. 753) No. 5121]
To add to the above suggestions I'd say food. Home cooked food, cakes or whatever he likes best. If you really want to get him something he'll like you'll need to look at things that your brother wants specifically as it will have more meaning to him. Sometimes a random gift to a guy is like a husband giving his wife chocolate as opposed to a rose.

I think i may be the only female who likes mens stuff LOL.
I love all those gadgets, flying helicopters and drones, trainers, if i was to buy for a husband i would just think what i want LOL
That nerf gun idea looks so cool, id make sure my water is ice cold, so the victory of me winning is even more bitter for the husband and demand a massive banquet that can last for a few days so i wouldnt have to cook untill it runs out

If it's for your husband then you'll be the stuff of dreams for him if you do this

Yes, adult men, even middle-aged men, are still love to play with toys. But of course, their toys are not children's toys, but toys that made for older people like radio control car, radio control helicopter, etc.
And this is adult men toys that popular these days.
It's so difficult to shop for a guy/brother, what types of things do guys like
sister - welcome to our world. even if we don't show it - the fact that, either, a present doesn't get bought, or not much thought goes into buying one should be proof enough that brothers struggle to work out what sisters like.
In truth the best thing that can be given to a brother is both that which he is not expecting, and that which he needs. More often than not, its something he will take for granted. Something inconspicuous but altogether of fundmental importance to the relationship in question.
Vague, i'm sure, but women are very, very perceptive... )

Mini drone with camera. It's expensive, indeed.
Although this could be classified as a toy, this particular gadget has to be operated with health and safety in mind as referenced in its manual. It goes without saying that this particular gadget can only be operated by adults. I was once watching a court hearing and an expert on toy drones was brought in to explain it's potential harms, and he described it as a weapon as the blades can cause very serious injury. Thefefore this "toy" is suitable only for responsible adults.
