This year I've gone for colour coded plain wrapping paper

MrD and my presents: Silver with gold ribbon
My mum, her boyf and my granddad: Red with silver ribbon
My biggest brother, his wife, and 3 children: White with gold ribbon
My other brother, his girl and her child: Blue with silver ribbon
MrD's parents: Gold with silver ribbon
MrD's sister, her wife and 2 children: Green with gold ribbon

I have *nearly* finished (sob). Just got 5 more gifts to get and that'll be us done. What am I going to spend all my time doing then?!
(I plan on writing a long list of everything I've bought on Christmas Day - I know it'll be too late for all of you this year, but it may help anyone next year. Plus this way no eyes can see!)

I've got to buy for my son, his wife and their boyfriend all living together. Not sure whether it should be one gift or individual, that can be difficult.

I've gone for a mixture of individual and joint presents. I seem to have spent around £50-70 per group above (depending on the size of the group). For my SIL and her family I have got:
3 each for his sister and her wife
2 for them to share
1 for the children to share
and 1 each for the children (well - it might end up being 2 gifts each depending on what I end up getting them!)

Yes, good idea. My younger DS suggested the Rudolph Monopoly for them so may include that.

Yes, I don't want to give anything that is directed at two rather than three if you get what I mean. My sons can only do complicated!
