trust me kids open them expensive pressies and at that age they mean no more to them than a 5.99 pressie. because there are no peers to compete with, so don't worry .  i`v had 4 kids  i remember buying our son a £150 car to sit in and he opened it went down the path n returned then spent hours in the bath with suction letters was we cheesed off or what lol

Find out from the parents if there are certain food they are not allowed to eat , drinks they can't have. I suggest you keep a notebook log of each of your customers' likes and dislikes.\n\nHave you taken a certified babysitter's course ? You might consider that.\n\nDon't prejudge them because they have add, each child is different and may have different needs . They may have meds they'll need to take during the day too and they must be timed.  \n\nYou can always read to them, play some video games or just regular games.  Take them out to a park or in a safe yard to play with them, but watch them every minute.\n\nYou can bake simple things with them like cookies if they're allowed them. Or even if it's ok with the parents write letters to santa .\n\nTeach them some simple crafts, like painting macaroni and sticking it to styrofoam balls or cones to make christmas decorations . Have them finger paint for you but do it with pudding rather than finger paint and make sure you have the shiny paper that pudding will adhere to , but check with the parents first. Buy books on children's games  and songs and finger games you can do with them.\n\nDo the parents have established bed time routines that must be followed, times , drinks of water, stories that must read, toys that must be said good night to etc. \n\nI 've always found about an hour before bed time comes we start to calm things down.If you can give them a bath although,get them into their pjs. Find a soothing story both will like, Winnie the Pooh, Wind in the Willows etc, tuck them in bed or cuddle them in a rocker and read them a story.  You can also put soft soothing music on to lull them to sleep.\n\nOther things you can do with before going to sleep, play with playdough on mats, colour, play a game like candyland or memory games or uno . Do imaginative play with them with their stuffed animals trucks etc.\n\nDon't take your friends or bf with you and don't just sit and do your homework with the tv on and let em run wild.\n\nMake up a babysitter's kit of fun stuff to do with kids, it need not be expensive but bring it with you and make sure it's age appropriate.\n\nRemember these little ones are YOUR responsibility to don't take it too lightly that mum and dad have put them in your care.

I would suggest a Family gift basket centered on all of them as a group.  You didn't list the kids ages but movies are always a good idea.  Possibly fix a basket with a large bowl, several packs of microwave popcorn, a nationwide movie rental store gift certificate, etc. Use your imagination.  Something that includes a nice gift for all to enjoy as a family

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!

Heres something that works for every age range:\nGo to a 99 cent store and pick up small christmas themed tins or plastic gift bags\nBake some easy candy: fudge, peppermint bark, english toffee etc\nPut the candy into the tins and pass them out.  Its an easy gift that won't cost you more than 30 bucks total.  A bonus is you'll get to eat some of the candy and have fun making it.  Thats what I'm doing this year for my friends (all recent college grads)  \nHappy Holidays!

Have you talked to your local Mothers of Multiples/Mothers of Twiins Club?  I know that our club has a charity fund.  I'm not from the Boston area so I don't have any specifics.  Also, remember that at 2 years old they won't fully appreciate Christmas gifts.  My cousins kids always end up just playing with the boxes and gift wrap!\n\nGood luck from a mom of 10 month old twins!

Letters from Santa are a big hit. For the seven year old the "clue game". Write a clue , Wrap it in a small box. The clue should lead her to the next box and the next and the next till it leads her to one of her gifts .  For the two year old red and White helium balloons with a long stings attach to which are paper snow flakes. I always got the girls Christmas pajamas and let them open them Christmas eve. It was a lovely tradition and they always looked cute for Christmas morning pictures. I really miss my girls being little at Christmas!!! Enjoy yours for me!!

Dollar store was a good point they have mugs with candy in them.. 1 dollar each for every memeber spending about under 20 bucks?\nI am sure your family would understand times are tough...\nAnother idea if your good at baking...make some brownies or cookies. Buy some christmas decorated tins again at the dollar store and some of that party tissue paper to make it look a little fancy when they open it. \nCan't go wrong with sweets for the sweet tooth.

Give presents that are essentially free! Be arts-and-craftey and make greeting cards out of magazine cut-outs. Make craft gifts from craftster.org. Take your kids out to nature and spend quality time with them collecting colorful stones, interesting bugs and flowers. Help them build a box for their collection.

If your doing this as a Giving Tree, first make sure that the kid you select is actually the kid your giving to.  An Ipod does not seem like a gift that should be given to someone on a giving tree.  Most giving trees are for needy kids, so clothes would be first on the list.  Maybe a few stuffed animals would also make her day.  There are a ton of hand-held games

Have you looked into Thrift Shops? They can have some neat toys and some good as new. \nAlso you can make items for them or together. Use things in nature like leaves, pinecones, sticks etc. Books at your local library will give you plenty of ideas. Check one out.\n\nYou can go caroling, make cookies, get them involved in helping others like visit a nursing home or senior center. Another cool idea is to make a big Christmas Basket (decorated). As a gift to your kids let them pick a card out of the basket each week for two months (something like that). Put index cards in the basket (decorated with santa, reindeer, candy canes or ?) with an inscription or wish. \nExamples:\nI will take you to the Park for Two Hours\nBake cookies together, you choice of type\nI will play football with you for an afternoon\nI will take you fishing and teach you how (wow)\nWe will go on a 3 hour hike\nWe will go to a local animal park to see the animals\nWe will build sandcastles together at the beach\nWe will go to the local swimming pool to swim\n\nYou can find literally hundreds of things you can do that your kids will enjoy for low cost or no cost. They will LOVE this. Make it fun. Anytime a kid get to spend quality time with a parent they love it more than any toy. This really works, just please try it. But remember to follow through, dont ever not do what they pick. Maybe pick Sunday as they day of the week they pick the adventure.\n\nAlso you can see if the local newspaper will run an ad for you that your kids are not getting Christmas this year. They love humanitarian stories and may feature your family. You can also talk to churches (they have toys and food) or local non-profits like the Family Resource Centers, Boys and Girls Club or get your kids put on an Angel Tree ( people pull the names and buy them a gift, but make sure it is a resonable toy). Womens Centers may help also. Many churches and non-profits have parties for less fortunate kids, I know I used to buy 100 gifts each year and help throw the party. Help is out there start searching.\n\nAll kids deserve CHRISTMAS. Good Luck

Here's some ideas I'd thought I'd share:\n\nFor Mum\n- Spa treat\n- Bath and body gift set\n- Festive holiday slippers\n- Personalized jewelry\n\nFor Dad\n- Book that interests him\n- Massage cushion for his chair\n- Subscription to his favorite magazine\n\nIf you'd rather get them something more personal, create a scrapbook filled with pictures of you and your parents. It'll remind your parents of those sweet memories that you spent together.\n\nWhatever you get them, I'm sure they'll like it. After all, you're their daughter.\n\nGood luck! ;)
