    Could you expand a little on each of them? It's very hard to just guess anything when they may have massive likes/dislikes.
    e.g. anything sporty / car related / steretypical male stuff (apart from DIY) is useless for my dad

    For your father and the card games, Argos are doing good deals on poker sets like this http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/2701280/Trail/searchtext%3EPOKER+SET.htm
    For your brother who likes golf, a putting machine Argos again:

    For your brother who likes computer games, you'll have to find out whether he likes XBox, Nintendo Wii or DS, PS3 etc

    In case your brother and/or your niece have an iPhone, you can get an artistic iPhone case. According to a post on an iPhone forum, such cases are nowhere to be found in Ireland. Sounds like a cool and original gift.

    Good luck!

    Brother hasn't got an iPhone. Neither has my niece - she's only 8 :D

    You'd be amazed what 8 year-olds have nowadays. :)

    What about a tablet? Does your brother have one? If not, you can get one, branded or not. You can try the Kindle Fire. It's a rather new one. I wouldn't call it cheap, but it's cheaper than a lot of the other branded tablets.

    If he does already have a tablet, I can recommend some cool protective sleeves for it, if you want.

    Regarding your sister and sister in law, you might consider buying them a nice photo. Maybe a nature photo (goes with the horses). You can take a look here, or for something less expensive (but maybe not always having the same quality), here.
