Just a suggestion...at some point before the next occasion of gift giving - maybe you could offer (drop hints, etc.) to your brother about appropriate/practical choices.

Over the years I have tried to develop my own philosophies on how to choose a proper gift - one size never fits all - but you almost can't go wrong with a cash gift - or something edible. Or flowers when dealing with the opposite sex.

For now - I agree - probably best to let it go and let your brother enjoy his generosity.
