I need Christmas gift ideas?

So the kids are covered. They are done and have been for a while. My Mom and Dad are both done, I bought their gifts months ago. But I still have my sister, three female friends, my 14 year old brother, and my other brother (in 30's) and my husband to shop for. My 30 year old brother kind of made me angry so I don't really want to do too much for him for christmas but I don't want to be rude either. He never gets me anything for Christmas, so whatever it is it shouldn't be too expensive like $5-10. Last year my sister bought be huckleberry candies and food type gifts. It was a nice gift, but it kind of tells me I don't have to go too crazy on a gift for her either like maybe $20-25. One of my female friends just got married and I kind of already spent a lot of money just attending her wedding and in wedding gift. I don't want to go too crazy on her gift maybe $20-30. The other female friends I'm thinking about $15-20 should be plenty. I really have no idea what to get my younger brother for xmas. I was thinking maybe a sweater or something? What do teenage boys like? I have no idea what to get my husband, he has a tablet, a computer, a nice cell phone. I'm thinking of just saving money and giving it to him to help buy a plane ticket home to see his family? They live really far away, and he hasn't seen them in four years....Is this a silly gift? For some of the smaller gifts for friends and maybe my sister I was thinking maybe sees chocolates, or something from swiss colony or hickory farms. But are those dumb gifts? What should i get for everyone?

    I completely understand about the brother thing; my brother doesn't buy me anything for Christmas either.

    Brother (30 year old): Maybe a mug, chocolates and some coffee?

    Sister: Maybe a tea pot and a selection of tea (if she likes it). Or maybe a simple (and small) piece of silver jewellery (like a ring or necklace).

    For the recently married friend: His and Her Mugs. Or something for their home, like champagne or wine glasses. Or maybe some bath stuff, like those smelly and cute bath bombs and soaps/body wash from The Body Shop (or similar).

    Other girl friends: Voucher to a coffee place. Simple silver jewellery. Hair accessories or bows.

    Their favourite classic book in hardcover. Chocolates are always good.

    14 year old brother: The sweater idea is nice. If he is into sports you could get him something to do with his favourite team. Maybe a phone case. Books. USB flash drive. DVD. CD. Game for a console (if he has one). A wallet. A watch.

    Husband: The plane ticket isn't a silly idea. Maybe speak to him about it, and subtly ask him if he was thinking about visiting them any time soon.

    If not: Maybe DVDs, like his favourite TV shows or movies (if he doesn't already have them.

    Books. A nice pen, possibly engraved. Some cufflinks. A watch. A new leather wallet.
