Ive been trying for weeks to buy gifts early because we have a big family, but i just have no inspiration for anyone. Im about half way through so far and I have ideas for my parents for 1 gift. I still have to buy gifts for my young nephews, my adult brothers and sister, my partners adult sisters and his brother, and my dad. My best friend and a niece, both of them have birthdays at christmas too and also my partner... I dont know if this is just me complaining and needing to rant or if anyone has any ideas for any of them?! I have no inspiration, I just keep finding gifts for myself and my unborn child...

What are their various ages, your budget, and one line per person as to what they are into?

no budget really.. nephews i only want to get them something small..
my siblings; mid-late 20s (one likes gaming, one likes cars, both like cider, sister has prosecco gift already, but need another little gift.. )
partners siblings-early 20s (I dont know them that well, partner doesnt have a clue, brother likes sports)
nephews are 8-10 (they like cars, football, typical boy stuff..)
my niece will be turning 1 :) ( im thinking something pink and quite girly because thats what my sister would like(different sister to ^^ if that makes any difference)

When I have an overwhelming list I just pick 1 present and buy everyone a variation on it - pjs/ gloves/ diaries/ photo frames/ books/ lamps etc. It makes it a lot simpler and choosing something from a theme makes it easier to choose something personal I find.

I can recommend this for the cider drinkers, beware though the dry is very dry

For adult female relations Bomb Cosmetics do some nice gift sets.
bombcosmetics.co.uk/gift-packs
Pretty cosmetic bag/vanity case
Eyeshadow palette if you know what they like
Make up brushes

Adult males: T-shirt, sweatshirt, belt, wallet? The old reliable aftershave Smile?

For the nephews perhaps k'nex, lego or other construction type gift? Nerf guns? Harry Potter stuff might be popular. Have a look on Smyths toys site or The Entertainer for ideas, you can always order online if you're not up to trekking around the shops.

The baby is probably the easiest: pull along toy, wooden jigsaw, blocks, bath toy. There are some lovely items on this site: www.daisydaisydirect.co.uk/12-months-2-years-toys.html

@queenonaplate I think that's a genius idea. I'm going to remember that for next year. Jumper year! Or Book year! Etc. Genius.
