My sister-inlaw takes every gift I give my brother and uses it to her advantage?

ex. gift certificates, money, movie passes, etc. He never gets something just for him. OK besides clothes what would be a gift I could give him that she can't get her hands on and spend or use on herself. They have 4 kids so he doesn't have time for video games, music, or any hobbies. Sometimes I think he is just a paycheck to her.

Then get him clothes, shoes etc or take him out for a meal..Maybe he's asking her to spend it because he doesn't have time...

Wow! You really don't like your SIL, do you? How about you take your brother out to lunch or golfing or to a movie? Then you can spend some one on one time with him and give him a present at the same time.And I'd keep my "you're just a paycheck" opinion to myself. It's hard enough being married without people planting seeds of doubt in your mind. There are four kids to consider. Pretend at least to respect their mom.

Has it ever occurred to you that she uses those things for the kids? Maybe his paycheck isn't enough to allow them to have those extras. She wouldn't have access to your gifts if he didn't allow it. Sounds like you really don't like your SIL, but she is married to your brother and has all the rights. You should butt out of it, or give him underwear. I doubt she's gonna wear his drawers so those would be pretty safe.
