Very little money. Need ideas for thoughtful cheap gifts, especially for the four friends(two girls, two boys).
Any help would be really really appreciated.

for your friends get them something memorable. As it is your 16th. I'm not sure what would be a goos present, but something that you can all keep and look back in years to come.

For your dad anything will do, its the effort and thought that counts for him.

Your brother being 12 is still probably at the stage where its all take, take, take. but het him something that relates to one of his hobbys. Which is probably football or semi naked women.

Let us know what you get them anyway.

Have a look on some of the photo sites, like http://www.snapfish.ie
or http://photobox.ie.
You can get some good ideas, like photo mugs for about €10 for the friends. A photo collage like It would be a nice way to mark your 16ths. I like the Walbum on photobox for €7.49.
Find a nice photo of yourself and your Dad/Gran, have it enlarged and buy a frame in a Euro shop-should melt your Daddy's/Gran's heart.Make it look as if you put some effort in and the price won't matter.
