Christmas is coming up & it's going to be very tight...we are moving back to the city our family live in at the end of November.
People to get presents for include my grandmother (Who's birthday falls on the same date), my parents (who are helping us move), my partner's parents, our son, sister, brothers(27 & 16), two nephews(12,13) a niece, great aunt, aunt and my partner's grandmother. Those are only what we consider "close" family, because our family is very large!!
Answer
Umm I wouldn't buy for your 27 year old brother he's too old! if hes got kids your buying for them anyway. Grandmothers I tend to get a basket and put some bath stuff in (lots of shops do buy one get one free or 3 for 2). My parents and my husbands parents all get a bar or box of their favourite chocolates aswell as a top for both fathers, a picture frame with 9 spaces for pics which I put photos of the grandchildren in for each mum. Nephews at 12 & 13 give them money, they will appreciate it alot more than a gift! Neice dependant on age make up is good (again look for 3 for 2 or buy on eget one free and do a basket or box or get a little bag and fill that) if shes younger check out woolworths, and tesco who are both doing 1/2 price toys at the moment. Great aunt make shortbread, buy a nice box line it with grease proof paper and put the shortbread in. You could also put in homemade fudge or mints or if she likes jams and marmalades and your a good baker you could make her some of those.

What can I get my family for Xmas?
Q. Dad: Likes golf, can't golf due to medical conditions, "doesn't watch TV or movies anymore" when I recommended "Breaking Bad" though he mentioned John Wayne DVD set someone gave him for his birthday.
Mom: reads trashy generic novels she buys randomly at book store, tries to dress nicely
Wife: Doesn't do much, just wants to go home, but we just moved there and then back last summer because it was so awful, at least for me and our son. She has iPod, iPod Touch, Kindle Fire, and laptop
Under 10 Son: Only likes video games which we limit greatly and he's limited by the 2006 laptop he uses. No consoles or handhelds or phones!
A "hamper", where you put dirty laundry?
