    You could get your Mum some accessories like a scarf,gloves, & hat or gloves or a handbag.
    Next has some gorgeous chunky knitted scarves and hat sets and also leather gloves. Their stuff looks and feels very expensive but is actually very affordable ranging from 15-22 euro.
    Dunnes Stores also has some nice scarves and gloves etc. and are very low in price but look lovely. They also have lots of little gift sets varying from makeup to jewelery boxes.
    The Body Shop have some lovely sets that are great for gifts.

    For your brother-theres a set in Boots called "scents of style".
    It contains Joop!Homme, Boss Man, Davidoff Cool Water,and Givenchy Play and it's only 24 euro!
    He might also like something like a leather wallet or some sort of gadget or a watch maybe.

    For your sister's boyfriend,maybe something novelty like a funny mug or funny calender. Or else a large 2010 planner/diary thing.

    For your boyfriend I'd consider getting a box set of a series he really likes,or most places have those boxes containing 3 movies of a similar genre. Like maybe Braveheart,Gladiator,and The Last Samurai.(usually fairly cheap)
    There's also alot of well known comedians who have released their new dvds this Christmas.
    Some good albums might be another option.

    Notes:
    .If you don't like leather (wallets/gloves etc.) there are lots of really good quality faux leather products out there if you just like the look it)

    .This year nearly all the big stores have a christmas gifts section on their websites.(I'm probably gonna be spending hours trawling them but not actually shopping until Christmas eve.:) )
    Don't forget the smaller lesser known shops in your area though. You can pick up some really great bargains and find some unique artwork,wood sculptures,pottery,glasswear or crystal etc.

    Happy Christmas!:)
