Here are a few ideas:\n\n-Make ornaments.  Find a playdough recipe that you can bake in the oven.  The kids can use cookie cutters to make different Christmas shapes, don't forget to use a straw to poke a hole for string before you bake!\n-Frosty pictures.  Using crayons, color a winter scene picture on black or blue construction paper.  Boil about a cup of water and add about a cup of Epson Salts, disolve.  Have the kids brush the solution overtop of their pictures.  When it dries it should look frosty.  OR you can also dilute white paint with water in a spray bottle, invite the kids to spray "snow" onto their pictures.\n-Photocopy a picture of Santa's face...have the kids color the pic and glue cotton balls on his beard.\n-Trace kids hands on red and green paper.  Make a wreath with the hand cutouts.\n\nAlso check out this site for some great ideas...\nhttp://www.dltk-holidays.com/xmas/santa.html

I usually get my Mom a candle, and some kind of jewlery or gift card. Last year I went with my Father and little brother and we picked out a bracelet, and had it customized just for her.\n\nOther times I've given her gift cards to her favourite stores(she loves shopping) or treated her to dinner/lunch to whatever she wants. She's expensive sometimes, but she's my Mom.. \n\nSometimes the simplest gifts, like a candle or something are nice though.

Perhaps a dinner gift vertificate? Or, something from your country and culture which traditionally expresses gratitude for hospitality. You can explain the significance, when you give it to them. As far as the kids go, until you've known them a while, and are familiar with what they each enjoy - tricky! Why not make a gift certificate good for "A getting to know one another day." The parents and grandparents can make plans and you can "babysit." Share stories of your own experiences, at their ages, and ask them how their experiences mirror or differ from yours.

Try a World Bazaar, or some other store that has things from all over.\n\nYou could also look in a candy store at a mall or somewhere, what with Christmas coming up they might have one.\n\nIf all fails you can get mini advent calanders that have pictures of presents on them, or make your own by buying mini Hershey chocolate bars and throwing some wrapping paper on them, or tying a ribbon around them. You could also use Kisses that are hooked up with the Christmas thing, and make little clusters of bells out of them.\n\nHope this helps, good luck!

Ask your parents, in a NICE tone of voice, to help you figure out how to make money for presents. They can't say no to their own suggestions.

Write them a letter- preferably each parent separately. Tell them the things you appreciate about each one and how they have helped to turn you into the person you are today. This is something that they will keep and treasure forever. Other gifts are just 'things', but this comes from the heart of the child they created together and will mean more to them than you will ever know...

I think the best gifts would be any type of make-up, if they are old enough.  Also, fun barrettes, headbands, or other types of hair accessory would work.  Here is a list:\n\n-Make Up\n-Hair Things\n-Nail Polish\n-Fun Toe Socks\n-Gift Cards to the Movies (it doesn't even have to be a lot, like $5)\n-And believe it or not, scratch-off lottery tickets make for fun and suspensful stocking stuffers!  Especially holiday themed ones!

two suggestions a family portrait and a mother's ring or bracelet.

I think there are many perfect presents for a Mother, depending on the age of her child.   If you are a teenager I bet she would love for you to give her a month of not having to do the laundry and/or cleaning of the house, not your bedroom (which you should always do).   If you are younger, then I would say a nice kiss, hug, and ask your father.   \n\nIf I were to buy my mother a present, I would look and see what her favorite perfume is and buy that, a small bottle that I could afford.   You can get most perfumes at a mall or store likes Sears, Macy's, or even CVS.\n\nDoes she like to read?   Then get her a nice book from one of her favorite authors.    Does she like to do crafts then go to a craft store and buy her a nice kit, etc.\n\nRemember it is the thought going into the present that counts, not the value.

All right - this ones right up my alley!!!\n\nIf you're crafty, you can make something.  One year I made counted cross stitch hangings for everyone in my family and another year each person got a home-made Christmas stocking.\n\nIf you're not into crafts, you can go the sentimental route.  One year I gave each family a photo album then hauled in a couple of large boxes of photos I had come across at my grandmother's house after I bought it from my aunts and uncles and moved in.  I let everyone go through the photos and pick out ones they wanted to keep.\n\nAnother year I typed out all my late mother's poetry and copied off a book of poems for each family.  I'm considering doing the same with my grandmother's recipe book at some point, too.\n\nI've also taken canning jars and made the "gifts in a jar" - a mixture of dry ingredients that you seal in the jar and attach a recipe card giving directions on how to make the food.  There are recipes for stews & soups, cookies, brownies, etc., and you can either make the same thing for each person or personalize to each one's tastes.  See this site for some good recipes: http://www.recipegoldmine.com/foodgift/foodgift.html\n\nHope I've given you some usable ideas!

Go to the dollar store and buy those clear large bulbs and decorate them to hang on the tree with the giftcard enclosed.  Also, my son got a really neat present one time...a gift card encased in a fancy picture frame. I thought that was pretty clever, too!

My parents are helping us out a great deal for our wedding.  My mom has helped me with the planning, the finances, the stress, etc etc.  We are getting my father a nice bottle of wine and a gift certificate for a manicure and pedicure for my mom.  When I go into the salon to have mine done the day before, I am just going to surprise her and take her with me.  We are also planning on a nice toast specifically for them and we're also thinking of having a song dedicated to them (to dance to) following the toast. I'm not sure if it's necessarily "customary," but I think it should be if they really help out.  If you can't afford much, just put some thought into it and do something creative.  Make a cd for each of them with songs that remind them of you (or the two of you together).  Definitely do something for them...it's kind of their big day too.

At a certain point me and my folks and my siblings came to a conclusion.  None of us are children anymore, we're all reasonable adults and none of us have money to go throwing around.\n\nSo what we do is give each other stuff that we can actually use.  Rice, Toothpaste, Paper Towels...you name it.\n\nBut then there's the thing where you use up the "gifts" so what do you have to hang onto other than memories.\n\nThat's why we also do a scrapbook every year at Christmas.  We make one for each person, identical to the others and we make a video of it.  We just take pictures in duplicates, make photocopies and then get together for food, fun and making our little books.\n\nYeah it's kind of corny but I'd rather be corny than materialistic.\n\nPeace Be With You

Toys should be first on your list. Everybody knows that Christmas time is really meant for kids. We grown-ups just need the holiday break but our kids are the ones expecting a gift from no other than Santa Clause. Parents with hectic schedule may find buying toys from your kiosk more convenient than going to big toy stores. It would also be wise if you can display small items that can be ideal for Kris-Kringle, we all know that office employees love to exchange gifts during the holidays also. I hope I am able to help.
