Draw one name out of the bunch and buy a really nice gift for that person. Then have everyone else do the same. You should really suggest doing this as most people with money, want to hang onto their money too, and they will welcome the idea of just buying for one person. Of course, you should still buy for the children in the family - Christmas is for kids.

Honey, I have been there. Most of this century to be exact. There is a great store here called "Dollar Tree". Everything inside the store is $1 and even some $0.50 items. One year I found hand-carved wood boxes in there. What a find! Everyone thought they were soooo expensive because they looked so nice.
This store has knick-knacks, toys, kitchen items, Christmas decorations, and more. Our particular store gets new stuff in every week. You really can find some nice stuff in there for everyone on your list, and spend less than $20. I go every year!

Look for sales. Right after thanksgiving, there are so many sales!! Also, you could try to set aside some money each chance you get, and take what you save to go shopping

you dont explain to the family that you really cant afford to buy for everyone and ask them if they would consider drawing names.
