    What about a small Lego set for your brother - for like a motorbike or a ship etc. M&S have a couple of Christmassy versions for not too much money.

    What about a really nice cheeseboard for your mum and dad, quite a few department stores will have really nice boards with good cheese knives inside.

    A Raspberry PI for your brother maybe? For around €35 delivered you have a mini computer that any 17 year old techie will want.

    Maybe some soaps or candles from TkMaxx or something similar for your parents (I love some of those soaps, smell so nice). Or perhaps a homemade gift, spend a tenner in your local arts and crafts shop/Tesco and make a creative photo album, do it on coloured paper, use newspaper in between to bulk it up, use markers etc, to make it almost like a magazine or something. Give it a name in the front too. I know we had a Secret Santa and some of the girls went mad creative, the above album was one of them. Sounds a bit childish, but in fairness it looked awesome.

    You don't need to spend much. Its the thought that counts.
