You could ask them individually / collectively - might take the fun out of it I guess

Decent pocket knife? (just caught sight of mine on the desk)

Nice pen?

Small portable radio?

Alcohol?

Maybe just cash is the safest.

ARRGGGHHH!!!!! Nooooooooo!!!!! You were doing so well. Cash is just about the most thoughtless, offensive "gift" possible. Just don't do it.

If you actually want to help a young impoverished relative with a car/house/retirement fund/whatever, talk to them about it separately. That is not a Christmas present - put some thought in and get them something specific to the individual!
