how about a scrapbook with photos of him, you and the family of places you've been to, special events like birthdays, holidays, vacations, etc.
I made one for my MIL after my husband's dad died for mother's day. I had written the words to the song "Anytime" and for each verse on a separate page, I used photos of him throughout his life including photos of him with the grandkids. She loved it even though it made her shed a few tears.

You can get him some of the old movies from his era. I know my mother loves Red Skelton so I bought her some on DVD and she was so happy. You could also give him a tape recorder so he could tape his memories for his family or a journal if he is not too tired to write his thoughts and feelings. I always wish I had had my grandmother write down her childhood memories so I would have that part of her with me.

Give him an inspirational book, one that speaks of hope, healing, and eternity. I disagree with a scrapbook of the past. You should encourage thoughts of the future, even thoughts of an eternal future, The book 'Edgar Cayce - An American Prophet' authored by Kirkpatrick is a very good book and would be very enlightening. God Bless you and your brother.

When my father was dying of cancer, I bought a book called -Father Remembers (or something along those lines). We spent time recording all of his memories and thoughts. We did it together. My dad enjoyed recalling all of the memories and sharing them with me. We laughed and cried together. There are spaces for pictures too. I copied the book for myself and gave the original to my sister as a gift after my dad passed away. I love looking at the book every once in a while. Its bittersweet. Cherish the time with your brother. I think that the one thing he needs right now is TIME. You can give him yours. You won't regret it. God bless you.

Give him a journal---now--- and ask him to write about his feelings. If there is something he would like you to tell people when he is gone you will send them their page/letter from his journal.Don't wait shower him with all the love and gifts you can while you can. If there is one place he would like to go where would it be?If he is allowed take him to visit.

How about something that he wants. Ask him what he wants.
