Boyfriends family
This Christmas will be the first one with my boyfriend. We've been together just under a year, so I think it'd seem rude if I didn't get his family something for Christmas.
Now, his older sister has just got her belly button pierced - so I know what I'm getting her. His little sister (10) I'm thinking maybe a small necklace or bracelet?
But then, I have no idea for his mum, dad and his nan, I can't spend too much as I barely have any money and seeing as it's my 16th on Christmas, my parents will have absolutely nothing.
So any small gift ideas for his parents and nan, I would be grateful :)

Maybe give some free advice about: Gift Giving?
I wouldn't, bring something for everyone, they probably won't get you something, so it would be awquward. I would suggest a dessert or apitizer. I think a gift certificate would be thoughtful to a resturant, and just adress it, to the ___ family, Happy Holidays! -NAME
I would feel weird if my sisters boyfriend or my brother girlfriend gave me gifts

Instead of worrying about a different gift for each person, try getting something for the whole family. A candy dish, a nice framed picture, a gift basket, a gift certificate to a local restaurant, something along those lines. That way you can keep the spending to a minimum but still provide a small but personal gift as a way to express holiday wishes to his family. But if you decide a gift is out of your price range, trust me, a lovely card signed warmly by you will be more than enough to impress the family. It may not be expensive, but it shows you cared enough to take the time to recognize his family, and that means a lot.

It is a kind gesture to bring your boyfriend's parents gift, but unnecessary. If you still wish to give them gifts, I would consider exercising your baking skills. Cookies, brownies, cake, or pie, these are usually all good ideas and low budget.
I would try to get the inside scoop from your boyfriend, the likes and dislikes of his family. If you aren't the best in the kitchen you might ask a friend or relative for help. Also, because Christmas is still awhile away, consider having a run through and baking some goodies for your own family, just to see how they turn out. I hope this helps.
Best Wishes!
