Surf & Turf
A birthday happens only once a year (unless you also celebrate half birthdays), making it the ideal occasion to treat your brother to an indulgent meal — and, to us, nothing is more self-indulgent than the classic combination of seafood and steak. Give your brother the pinnacle of fine dining on his birthday with the premium pairing of succulent lobster tail and tender filet mignon. And no birthday feast is complete without a bottle of wine to pair it with.

He can set up his bloody bar filled with dill pickle hot sauce, garlic dill cornichons, and pitted green olives. Add an extra kick to each sip by rimming the glass with the chili lime seasoning. Vodka not included....

Thanks to these plants' long lifespans, your brother can enjoy this gift for years to come (though that doesn't get you off the hook from having to buy him a present for future birthdays).
