Have you asked them?

What's your budget? Get £60, walk into boots /Waterstones/etc and get six £10 gift vouchers, job done 😊

'Shall we just buy for children this year'

I think I'd go with experiences rather than actual gifts!
Afternoon tea at a swanky hotel for your parents and granny perhaps or a cinema gift box for your cousin [goes down well with teenagers in my experience].Spa or beauty treatment for auntie/grandma/mum?. Failing that, do any of them have hobbies/interests that you could get a magazine subscription for? If it really must be a wrapped gift then go for luxury like cashmere socks/scarves or a really beautiful brooch/silk scarf for granny.
Do you have a budget set for this?

Do you have a budget in mind Nine?

What sort of thing is your cousin into?

Agree with the suggestion of Afternoon Tea somewhere vair posh and swanky (Groupon might be worth looking at for deals)

Theatre tickets?
Years supply of lovely tea/coffee/posh soap?

Agree with experiences above! My lovely 80 something nan doesn't ever want anything so I get her theatre tickets, it gets her out and she loves it!

I got my mum champagne afternoon tea for her birthday, my dad tickets for the Shard at Christmas (there's only so many M&S jumpers I can buy him!). A lot I get on Buyagift as they often do 20% off codes online for the website.

I also like to try and get personalised bits from NotOnTheHighStreet or Etsy top. Best of luck!
