For your grandma and grandpa: I would buy a gift card at their favorite restaurant so that they can go out for dinner one night and have some quality time together.
For your uncles.........especially if they like to read...go down to your library and walk through the bookstore. The Bookstore always has a good selection of books and at really really low prices!!!
Your brother...give him some money or a gift card and then he can buy what he wants. He may want some CD's, books, video games. It just depends on what he likes.
For your mom I would do something special!!!! I would get her a gift card to get her nails done or have a facial. Where she can pamper herself!!!
Thats my advice to you!!!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you and your family!!!!!!!

In general, people have all the "stuff" they need.
Instead, why not donate $10 to a charity in your mom's, grandparents, brothers and uncles' name? Think of a charity that might really mean something to each of them - for example, if your brother is really into football, make a donation to his team's favorite charity (which usually helps kids with cancer or something equally worthy). Or, if your mom loves the town you live in, donate to the local historical society.
Just pick a charity that you KNOW will mean something to them.
Take the extra $5 you have for each person and make your own card or ornament.
For Cards: You can put a picture of you and your mom (for example) on the outside and inside write something along the lines of: You have always brought so much love to my life, I wanted to take the opportunity to share that love with others. A donation has been made in your name to St. Jude's Hospital for Children with Cancer.
For Ornaments: I usually hand make these with cardboard, glitter, pictures and other crafty things. For example, I donated to a Polar Bear conservation group for my friend who loves polar bears. Using clip art, scissors, glue and cardboard, I made a glittery Polar Bear ornament with a message on the back that said, "This year, the polar bears are getting a gift from their biggest fan. A donation has been made in your name to Polar Bears Alive".
This is such a neat idea and it will show your family how mature and thoughtful you are. If you donate $10 per person, you will have donated $60 to charities and made a big difference!!

Wow, you get to see your BF start shaving, not all men use electric razors, these are expensive, but go top end for quality only if you can afford it, but perhaps too, a pre shave static lift for his fuzz, wow, a first shave, oh, if cost is an issue, he might get heaps of razors where the multiple blades like three four and five hug the shape of his face, basically encourage him to be meterasexual, meaning care about his appearance, moisturizer is a great way to go when shaving is complete, what you get you pay for, go with quality, if you wanna control his opportunity to meet other women, dont let him wonder expensive department stores where attractive women lather his hands and face with this or that? Focus on finding a friend who is an independant Herbalife distributor and insist on buying wholesale!!!! They have the vitamin c contained within the moisturizer as a product which was a first where the dermatologists are raving about it, only you dont need a prescription, and it has the added advantage of keeping insects and has a sun block built into it, the products name is radiant c, the products are neutral meaning men and women can both use them, lol so you get to help yourself to his products if he doesnt get a leg along and use em! Being a bloke, I aint even gonna pretent to know what girls buy each other these days, but, advice? Always tell women their shoes look great!!!! Can you imagine the shoe stores in the Philippines are as cheap as chips. Fact is the amount of space a small warehouse takes in is a part of their amorary, be aware, you just need great joggers or sneakers to go the distance their shopping, why not a parentally supervised womans shopping trip there with your two best friends with vouchers from their two top contenders, just google who and where, with the value of the Aussie Dollar going skyward, you can afford to take your boyfriend, um, pssst, they are great to have as beasts of burden to carry the small cargo crate you will buy in all the greatest latest fashions, spoil yourself too. It is no small secret, Emelda Marcus was given some 3000 shoes by every single shoe manufacturer in the pines, can you imagine heaven? Every single desire beyond your wildest dreams and more? Word of advice? With a beast of burden? Make it enjoyable for him to go shopping there is nothing more sexy than a woman turned on whilst she is shopping? How bazaar! Men like shopping? Nah! Its the women every time!

my mom - pretty pin or earrings
my grandma - scarf (can you knit?)
my grandpa - socks or scarf
my brother - CD or DVD
two of my uncles - tshirts or tracktops
Wrap everything nicely, tissue paper and boxes (some stores might even wrap it for free?)
If you really want to make something for everyone I suggest making one thing, like these no-sew fleece blankets. http://www.fabriclandwest.com/Fleece_Country/Fleece/no_sew_blanket.htm There is a link to a store, the current flyer has fleece from $4-99 to $24-99 per meter depending on type.

Books, clothes, those Kneaded Angel or Willow tree angels are really cute, gift cards, pictures (like for your mom, a nice framed pic of you and your mom, or if you have kids, get a family pic done and frame those to give out) gift certificates for gas

I saw a magazine ad for the company at the link below, for beautiful Christmas ornaments personalized with names on them, in the colors of their birthstones. They're about $10 each. I'm getting some for my family.

Gift cards all the way. They're not impersonal, they're an effective way to guarantee the gift you give is a useful one! You can get Visa gift cards that are good ANYWHERE Visa is accepted!

I agree, gift cards are the best; most people love them and you don't have to worry about them returning the gift. Very simple, good luck!!
