Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
You clearly want to have a "thing" to give -- and that's nice. You're into the spirit of giving, so here's an easy idea for the last minute and without having to spend a dime (because spending money is not what giving is all about)!
Create a "gift certificate" and promise to do something special to make others feel special.
For your parents, give them free nights of baby-sitting if you have little sibs. Help them have a night out! That would be an awesome gift!
Or make a gift certificate promising to clean out the garage or do certain extra chores. (Oh, and this is awful and shouldn't be what motivates you, but the best part about this...is that you've turned this chore into a special gift from you, which may make the parents less likely to consider this a standard obligation on your part.)
A gift certificate to make them breakfast in bed or a special dinner just for them would be really cool. You'll have time later to plan the details, like candlelight, etc.
The babysitting and dinner ideas are really nice and will be appreciated if it means you're giving up a night hanging out with your friends to make them feel special.
Have you been doing something lately that gets on their nerves...? Well, maybe this is a chance for you to try to change things. Give a gift certificate promising to change what you do (or do what you're not doing). It's like a contract now and you'll have to do what you promise. Maybe it will actually work. Maybe not. Don't overextend yourself...because you'll want to make good on your gift certificate.
I love getting gift certificates for teens because y'all are so hard to buy things for. So it's only fair that you should know that adults ALSO love gift certificates. And if it's the kind of gift certificate where you promise to do something that makes parents feel special...I promise you that it's lightyears better than ANYTHING you can buy them for $20 or $50.
But AGAIN do NOT overpromise. Don't promise a year's worth of babysitting or that you won't cuss all year. Just keep your promise to a month or a few weeks or for 1 or 2 dinners (let them buy the food).
Good luck...I'm sure you're going to have a great Christmas!
Peace....

hey, give her a card and write her a thank you letter. thank her for everything she does for you everyday. put a picture of you and her in there when you were first born and like her holding you and then a recent one. put on red lipstick and seal it with a big kiss =].

I would make her a life size card. Made out of poster board folded in half so its like a card except bigger. Write Merry Christmas and everything on it but maybe put pictures of your family on the card and draw lots of pictures on it. Or do a "Top 10 reasons why I love you" and name 10 important things your Mom does that you appreciate and why and try to make it meaningful.
Or give her a homemade gift card. Free whatever. Some ideas are: Free Massage if youre good at it. Free manicure/pedicure (by you.) Free breakfast in bed. Gift card for 10 chores of her choice that you will do while she relaxes.
Ornament. Find things around the house to make an ornament out of. Those are very personal and nice.
Whatever it is, she will love it because you made it and its the thought that counts! ♥

well, if your mother is anything like my mother, she'll love anything. Start off with maybe making a card. Put your heart into it and make it creative. Use string or thread and crayons and stuff like that. Make it colorful and very you. She'll love it. Then...if you want to actually make her something, i'm not so sure because i am not very artistic, but i'm sure that if you just gather a bunch of stuff together, you should be able to figure something out...or, you can look online for crafts that you can do and making presents. You can find anything online these days.
Hope I helped!

Ok here are a few ideas considering the materials you have:
1. A card, parents love that! A plus!
2. A thing of sugar with a card saying you are really sweet etc. have a happy x-mas etc. Tacky but sweet and simple
3. Bake her cookies or a loaf of gingerbread (borrow ingredients that you need from neighbors or close friends)
4. Get an old frame and put your parents picture or a photo of you etc.
5. Make a ton of cards with freebie tasks thaT you will do when she wants to use the card (For ex: Free Babysitting, or free garage cleaning etc.)
Or, just give her lots of love with an I.O.U :)
Hope I helped!

Hmm my parents love when I frame a picture of me or of me and my siblings and give it to them. Maybe find an old frame to write on and decorate with things you can find around the house. It's really fun I've done it MANY times. My mom loves every single one
