I have 3 siblings, each married or with a significant other. There are 5 children, including mine. Because it can get expensive to buy all of them or else they all get something small, we decided to do a name exchange amongst the adults. Travel-wise, we're not that far apart, so we usually get together Christmas Eve or the weekend before Christmas. We set an amount that the gift should be, usually between $40-$50, that way everyone gets something nice. The adults all buy for the children and we open the gifts when we have our get-together. Might be something you want to try.
Otherwise, some nice gift ideas (which I really like yours) might be matching PJs -- just the flannel pants and a nice Tee. Or maybe something to fight winter blues, like a few puzzles and a board game from your childhood years.
I stay away from gift cards. I don't like them because I don't think they're very personal.
