is a brick okay?

No.

a brick is very light and will shift on you because it doesn't make good contact

Chocks must be wedge shaped in order to work

What @mmj suggested. 

It’s called a wheel chock.

You can make these using a beam of wood and a chainsaw yourself (the redneck method for desparate car-owners 😀  )

Not a good idea. I use these wheel chocks from Harbor Freight, they're nice and beefy:
