XMAS gifts
It's almost xmas, and I don't have any gifts for my family. And worse of all, I can't go out and get gifts for them because I'm broke. Does anyone have any ideas how I can "make" a gift for my family? [I have one bro, 19, two parents, age unknown, and one sister, age 21.] If anyone could think of creative fun things I could make out of house hold items, I'd love you forever.

It's past Christmas but I'll tell you anyways!
For the 19 year old bro.-Get a cute picture of you two together (or take one) and make a cutsey but still guyish (i lovr those terms!) Frame. Takes about 15 minutes
For you 21 year old sis.-Look and see if she has a theme to her room. Base your gift around that...you gotta be creative on this one!
For the parents-With you siblings and scissors and construction paper in tow, make a mini photo album of yuo family together. Not only will they love it, but they can look back on it every year!

i once was in the same situation. what i did was take either a poster or you could also take a box, and i cut and glued pictures of loving memories all of my family shared.for example your first b.day or a picture of your pet and you.remeber these are just eexamples.ps:be as creative as possible.

Just make them things. It comes straight from the heart and thats what counts! maybe make a scrapbook of all you guys on trips or whatever that'd be neat to look at

Candles are good. There are probably websites you can go to and they show you how to make them. Photo albums are good, too. My friend made that for me a long time ago, and I still have it. You can just make it out of construction paper and ribbon and stuff. For your brother, that's really tough. Maybe make a collage of sports pics and stuff if he's into sports. Also, you could bake cookies! Yummy! Good luck!
Hope I helped!

Dear Giftless,
for your sis- you could make a scrapbook of pix from when you 2 were young! if you cant buy a scrapbook, just make one out of construction paper!
for your bro- you could egt him a poster or something... those can be really cheap sometimes... or you could just give him like a bowl of his favorite candy or something... something cheap that he likes...
for your parents- picture frame! parents love stuff that reminds them of their kids so you could make a frame and put a pic of you, your bro, n your sis in it! or you could give them a little coupon that says you will spend one whole day with them... parents love it when they get to spend time with their kids so make a certificate that says you'll go out n see a movie w/ your dad or go shopping w/ your mom...
hope this helps!!! merry xmas!

Make a bunch of different cookies, and give them all cookie trays. Those always go over big at my house. I am making all my aunts and uncles peanutbutter bon bons for their gifts.

You can make these little paper coupons. Like one for your parents that say I will wash your car 2 times for free. And one for a sibling, I will do your chores for one day. Do you get what I mean? Hope this helped! Merry Christmas. ~_~_*~*~*EDIT_~_~_~_*~*~*~* haha, that's where I got the idea, from way back when I was in like 5th grade.

I know for your parents, you should make something involving pictures of your family. I usually make my mom something each year and she ends up crying (from happinness I hope) each time.
Once I bought a cheap photo album, went to her big box of old pictures and filled it with pictures of when me and all my brother's and sisters were younger.
Another time I took some pictures of when she was a teenager, and when me and my siblings were babies, and made a big pastel drawing of them all. Of course, you might want to have some art experience to do that.
Something that is made will mean so much more to them anyway.
About your brother's and sisters... sorry, but I can't help you much with them.
