For people I work with and casual aquaintences, they are getting some homemade coffee mixes (either mocha spice, hot cocoa, cappuccino, maybe a few others) those will go into a small basket with some chocolate dipped spoons. ( I think the baskets may cost all of 3 or 4 dollars a piece completely assembled, but folks love 'em/

My sister is getting a bunch of scrapbooking stuff.
Brother in law is getting a home depot gift certificate and a civil war book
My brother, the musician, is getting a very cool neon electric guitar lamp.
My sister in law (brother's wife) is getting a lovely pashmina that I got at an amazing price.
Dad - bathrobe and a bunch of cds
MOm is getting this: Story of a Lifetme
and a sweater or two

The brats:
My 7 year old niece I compiled a fanstastic arts and crafts kit -- she loves to color -- this has crayons, colored pencils, twister crayons, stencils, coloring books, contruction paper... a bunch of stuff all in a big box
The 11 year old nephew is getting a bunch of piano books (His request)
The 12 year old niece is getting an auntie day (her request) she is getting a gift certificate from Limited Too, and a day spent iwth me to shop, including lunch.
The 10 year old nephew, I'm stumped on.

My best friend I made this beautiful amethyst necklace -- It's wrapped, otherwise I'd take a picture, but it's beautiful and so very unique. If I have time , she'll get earrings too, cause I have enough stones left, otherwise it's for her birthday.

I'm volunteering this weekend at a Barnes and Noble, so I will get a discount while I do that, and books will fill in a bunch of stuff.

Damn I spent entirely too much money - but I like giving gifts to people.
