Pretty straight forward, don't really disclose this (values really) to other people in person so thought we'd have some interesting answers here. Be honest.

The wife from A: A little 'Mum' sterling silver trinket box for her favourite ear rings - £11
The wife from Me: We're going out for a meal at our favourite Turkish restaurant, then a few cocktails and catching a movie at the local art centre - £?
Mum + Step Dad: A private wine tasting session for 2, including lunch and an overnight stay at a local B&B (this is also for my step-dad's 60th) - £100
Dad: A heat gun - £24.99
Step-mum: Tanqueray No.10 Gin 70CL - £24.99
In-laws: Overnight stay in Glasgow Mercure + Bottle of Prosecco and breakfast - £69.99
Gran: Kettle - £19.99
Her Grandparents: - Meal vouchers for their favourite pub - £40
Her Niece: Nike trainers - £24

There are others I can't quite remember or I didn't have any involvement in. Be interesting to see what you lot have gotten your relatives for Xmas.

Mum - Earphones, kettle and mp3 player
Sister - Headphones and a CD (she's oldish school)
Godson - Captain America playset, Iron Man playset, Deadpool t-shirt, Guinness World Record's Gamer edition 2017
Niece - Curling tongs, 'premium' colouring pencils, emoji erasers

I need to buy something for my younger brother, I'd like to give it to him personally but his bitch mother 'doesn't want any of us siblings in his life'.

I've also bought some board games to play over the period, some of which might go as parents.

Mum - Book, an 'experience' she's always wanted to do. She's mentioned a load of shit she wants to do over the years and I'm in the habit of sorting it out. Not sure what yet. It's a bucket list type thing. Last year I got her some daft 30 minute lesson driving a fucking massive lorry, because she'd said a while earlier that she wanted to try it. That kind of shit.
Dad - Tickets to Seasick Steve. Me and my sister bought him them together and the three of us are going.
Brother - nothing. We don't get each other anything.
Sister - Couple of books
Sister's fella - a book, because apparently he's getting me something and my sis told me what to get him.
Bloke at work in the secret santa - a Leeds United mug

Mam - Bottle of her favourite perfume
Dad - A jacket he wanted, a Dove men's grooming set and socks/boxers
Step-mam - A Racing Post calendar she has every year and £20 M&S voucher

I don't buy for anyone else, me and my bro never exchange gifts.

I also got my sister some Spanish flashcards and a Spanish learning card game thing.

For my little brother I bought Lego Dimensions, Guinness World Records, an Iron Man nerf gun thing and a kids joke book. I used Amazon's gift options and paid for it all to be wrapped to. Shame I wont get to actually see him though :(

My Mum asked me to help her out with buying some gifts too but we're stuck on 3 people. Her sister and two cousins.
