    Just out of interest, what did you buy them last year? Might help kick start some ideas?

    Do they have any hobbies as a family?

    Just because these people share a bit of DNA with you does not put you under obligation to keep on buying them stuff when they are sooooo undeserving and ungrateful.

    If you feel you HAVE to do something, make a charitable donation to a child in Africa then send them all the details, saying that you have helped a needy person in their honour.

    Believe me, that little child in Africa would be more grateful and deserving than any of the gits you describe.
