since you live in the UK I suggest amazon, they sure have gifts for 5 , 10 , 15 , 20 , 30 " you don't need to divide the 270 equally between them " parents may have higher price gifts where as kids can have cheaper gifts . search http://astore.amazon.com/goodmanzone-20 for great gifts

you can get a lot with £15 per person, be careful with toys for kids though as this time of year trading standards are rife especially on markets. One thing I always get my mum is a little bit of jewellry she loves silver & that is not expensive at all (argos do a good range). The men ! look at their hobbies i.e. golf, football etc & go for something in that range....1 quality pressie is better than loads of crap £1 shop ones....Happy Christmas

You can go the "gift certificate" route.
Or,
You can make up baskets (or buckets for the guys) full of baked goods and fresh ripe fruits and chocolates/sweets, jams, biscuits, popped corn, chutney, pickeled lilly etc. plus several other nice things like cologne/perfume etc
You can "load" a basket and trim it nicely for 18 quid.
The key is in the presentation. Buy Xmas ribbons and bows and a glue gun and decorate the hell out of them. Wrap in colored cellophane. Make sure they have a nice smell but be very careful. Soaps and perfumes can leak into food. You can apply smell on the outside of the present. Sashe's, fresh cinnamon and cloves etc.
Take some time to make a wonderful gift and save money.
Go to these links for idea's and good luck!

Nothing, spend your money on a really great party,
spend the money on good food, drink and forget about all the commercial trash, they probably have too much junk already if you don't have an instant idea of what to get them.
and if they feel hurt, then you can always tell them that presents aren't given until Jan 6th in Spain, and rush off to the Jan sales.

Go look in places like Boots and M&S where they are doing 3 for 2 offers - some great bargains to be had. You can get gift sets, games, smellies - all sorts!

Try supermarket sale rails, on thursday in asda there was a cloths sale rail and i got loads of really nice kids stuff,they where only a few pound each.
and primark are doing some really nice clothes for adults and they are not expensive.if you get things out of there you'll have change from your fifteen pound's per person, if you spend a tenner on them they'll think you've got them something really nice.
