Do you think buying something for someone on the internet is a good Xmas gift

Tweet

Hi, I was wondering if you would be happy if someone buys you something on the internet as a Xmas gift? I am asking because my brother is a designer and I choosed to buy him a collection of textures from liman3d.com that I found on the internet. How do you think? Is he going to be happy about it? Or I should make him a gift that has nothing to do with his job?
