I do Pilates regularly, and some of it is very helpful for the thigh/leg area. Do leg lifts by lying on your side and kicking straight up, or lay on your side and make circles with your legs. Swimming is also very good for toning your leg muscles.

Do leg-lifts where you lay on your side as a fish would and lift up the leg closer to the cieling up into the air while keeping the other on the ground. Return your leg back to your side without letting either leg touch one another and lift it again in the same motion. Do this continually until you start to feel slight pain in your muscles. Also, you can do wall-sits where you pretend to "sit" on a wall while keeping your legs at a 90 degree angle

A step works good. Use it slowly though, don't just run up and down it. Put some dictionaries under the step to make it higher and harder

SQUATS with or without weight.

Pretty much any cardiovascular exercise (which is the important one really... nothing much will happen if you try to strain your muscles without upping your heart rate---keeping up your heat and heartrate is what burns the calories and fat) can be done at home. I have never understood the need for a gym anyway. Running, jogging, stretching, karate endurance-training (kicks, punches, stretches, stances) and aerobics are all effective and all right to do at home.
As to thighs, leg-lifts (lying on your side and lifting one leg straight) help the thigh and butt--and I know personally that there's nothing like a karate horse stance to cause lots of fun pain. A horse stance requires you to move your feet apart a bit farther than your shoulders and crouch down as if you're riding a horse--back straight, as low as you can and as long as you can. Usually you do this while practicing punches. It works, too.
Look up exercises online and you will get much more interesting and helpful answers.

Doggy Style!
It is the least dignified exercise there is but it works.
Go down on all fours like a dog and raise your bent leg as though you were a dog about to wee on a lampost. Repetitions of 5 sets of 10 on each leg.
Pretty much anything that means your are using your thigh muscles to support your leg will work.
