Christmas Shopping

Someone stop me, I am way overboard for Christmas already. It's just too fun to pick the perfect gifts for people, to wrap them nicely, fill stockings and watch how excited people are when I give them the gift I've chosen for them. It's not fake excitement either, my mom is totally honest with me and she always tells me what people say about the gifts I get them. I do stockings for kids and adults alike, lots of fun stuff!
This year it looks like God willing my entire family will be getting together for the first time in about 5 years. My sister is an officer in the Salvation Army and is stationed in Arizona. She never can get away as well you know Christmas is a big time deal for the Salvation Army. My older little brother is in the Air Force we usually don't get to see him either. My little little brother we do get to see far more often but we're excited to see him too. PLUS everyone is going to be bringing a significant other. I haven't met my sister's boyfriend (they are serious) and I've only briefly met my brother's girlfriend (the one in the AF). So what the hell am I supposed to do? Do I get them small gifts? I mean we're going to be doing the whole gift thing so how awkward if no one gets them anything right? Boys are always hard to shop for but a guy I don't know? I mean if all else fails I can always get my dad or brothers a couple of pairs of goofy pajama pants but I can't give PJs to a guy I don't know that's just weird. Plus I don't know how girly my brother's girlfriend is. I know my littlest brother's girlfriend loves pink and girly just as much as me so she's easy, but the new girl? No clue. My mom doesn't really know her either. Blah. Advice? Pointers? ANYONE?
