My grandpa, dad, and brother are the absolute HARDEST people to shop for!! And with a budget of 10-15 each, it makes it even harder!
Grandpa- loves Nascar (but no specific driver), loves his new digital camera, and always get peanuts for Christmas
Dad- not very "dad-like". He's a bachelor and lives like it, but he's very proud of his granddaughter. :)
Brother- ...weird....no really! But in a god way. He's 18 and not a normal teenage boy. He loves classical music, books, and animals. He's planning a trip to Europe this summer.
If anyone has ANY ideas at all, PLEASE let me know!! I'm struggling here.

For Grandpa: some print credits so he can have the digital pics printed, a picture frame to be able to put his new pics in, a nascar cup or some other memorabilia you know he could use. I know Target here has all kinds of Nascar stuff.
For Dad: Can DD make something for him? There is a pottery place here where you can have your kids paint a plate or something along that line and then they fire it for you. It turned out very well when I did it for grandparents.
For Brother: there are tons of travel books of Europe at bookstores or even online. I know when my sister plans a trip she loves to get books about that particular area of the world. A gift certificate or a cool CD of classical music.
Here is an example of a travel book:

Do any of them enjoy fishing? I have tons of jigheads available at www.bloodsbait.com. From .30 cents up to 4.75.

for the brother: The NPR Guide to Building a Classical CD Collection (book)
Dad: a photo calendar of his g-d. (Walmart $17 if you pick up at the store. Cheaper online offers, but maybe pushing it timewise.)

For your brother I would agree the travel books, a nice wallet that he could keep his stuff in for the trip. I also agree with the gift card, that way he could get some tunes for the plane ride. Or a itunes card if he has a Ipod.
Grandpa, I would go and get some nascar items, coffee cup, blanket ect. I also second the photo paper. That way he can print what he wants.

A borders gift card could work for the Grandpa and Brother. There's tons of Nascar stuff out there, and I'm sure your bro could find a book or cd to suit his interests.

Does grandpa like to read? There are books about Dale Jr. and the history of nascar itself or there are biography movies, the history channel website should still have those. Dad, mine is a bachelor too, I always do a bottle of wine or something. If he lives close you can make a certificate book with dinners at your place and the likes or, does he like food? Get him a good cook book. My dad is wierd too. Brother, he likes classical and wants to go to Europe? Find a copy of Beowulf, the book. Or one of those how to learn a language book, cd combos, bookstores are loaded with those. Hope this helps.
