<human>: I'm on a very tight budget this year and have been under a lot of stress lately.  Unfortunately, this means I haven't been able to think of personal and thoughtful gifts for my family.

I think this year I'd like to try something new and get them all the same thing to connect us as a family.  What are some suggestions for something funny and creative?

I'd like it to be something they'll keep.  This means I'm not going to get them this years hottest toy just because it's popular now.

So what do you suggest?  

Here is a list of my family members:

1. Dad - 68 years old.  Kind and geeky.
2. Mom - Age unknown - Boisterous and the life of a party.  Controlling.
3. Sister - 3 years older than I.  My math puts her at 30.  Takes after her mom in the confidence department.  Very strong woman.  She may have stuffed socks down my throat when we were younger.
4. Brother-in-law - Something above 30.  Ex-marine.  Microsoft certified network specialist.
5. Niece #1 - 2.5 years old.  Attention hog.  Cute as hell though.
6. Niece #2 - Only a few weeks old.  Vision is still blurred and thus willing to be placed in embarrassing clothing.  

So what do you get them?  I'd rather not just do the typical funny sweatshirt thing.  Perhaps get an artist to paint us in some awkward way?

For suggestions like that, anyone in the Phoenix, AZ area want to help out?  Willing to compensate, but, like I mentioned, budget is tight.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: What stupid group gift do I get my family that they'll appreciate as funny and creative.  They should also want to keep it.
