Gift for group of siblings/family?

Options
I have so many nieces/nephews now that I tend to buy one present for each family, instead of individual gifts. Usually it's something like a box of sweets or biscuits but I'd really appreciate any other ideas. They're all different ages, so it's hard to buy a book or something for a certain age range.

  • Maybe you could think about getting them a board game the whole family could enjoy. Something like Rapidough (if they don't have it), which is great fun, good for a whole range of ages, and is sure to get used over the Christmas holidays.

    What my husbands aunt used to do for us,(2 adults, 2 kids) was a type of hamper, but it was all in a gift bag and just full of bits where each was appropriate to our own lives. A typical bag might have contained soaps/bath bombs for me in a particular fragrance I enjoyed, sour sweets for hubby or a new tie, a small cuddly toy for dd when young, something science related for my son. They were great fun, always unwrapped but with the shredded tissue around them, so it was like a lucky dip, and you knew whenever an item was pulled out which family member it was meant for.

    I do this every year for family and friends. I do a cinema one, where I put a couple of films in, popcorn, sweets maybe box of biscuits.
    I do a family board game one with the same snacks as the cinema one. I also do a crafty one with colours things to stick, paper, general crafty bits, again same snacks. I also sneak a bottle of wine in for the adults.
    Also looking for new ideas if anyone has anything different :p
