but the question is, how do you go shopping when you have no money!
im 15, and no one will really hire me for a job, i have to wait until im 16.
and of course i have no money!
i am trying to do odd jobs and collect momey for gifts
but i still dont have much
all my friends are asking me what i want them to get me for christmas, so i know they are all getting me something
so i have to, of course get them something too
what should i get them!?????!!!?
i mean, i dont want it to be cheap like a pair of earings or something
something they will be happy to get, but it cant be wicked expensive
ANY IDEAS?!

Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
i guess if u need money quickly you could maybe consider selling things you dont use on ebay maybe? and ask for immediate payment. but make sure you set it up with ur parents details as you have to be 18 or over to use it.
and as for the presents thing, you could get them something small and meaningful, i mean, i would love it if a friend put a nice picture of me and them in a nice frame. it doesnt matter how much money you spend, its the thought that counts :)
hope ive helped :)

For Christmas, I really don't think you need to go all out for your friends. Save that for birthdays. Just give them a little something, and it's still meaningful.
Last year for Christmas, I got my friends a coffe mug, with two packs of hot chocolate and some candies inside. Then I made chocolate covered pretzels and chocolate covered peanuts and put them in little baggies. I got this stuff at the dollar store, for probably under $15, depending on how many you're getting.
Or, you could do like a movie themed gift. Give them $10 to blockbuster, popcorn, and candy.
You could also buy a picture frame and put pictures of the two of you in it. Meaningful, and cheap.
Earrings is fine, maybe just give them a necklace, too, or a braclet. You can also just get them nail stuff, like top/base coat, french manicure kit, things like that. Or a make up bag. You can buy a bag for cheap, then put like eyeliner, mascara, and eyeshadow in it. Or just do a variety of soaps, body washes, sprays.

A great idea from a penniless student:
Pick up a pair of knitting needles and some simple instructions and learn how to make scarves.
If you use extra bulky wool and really large (I'm talking size 10-12) needles, you can make one in about 6 hours, or even faster. It'll cost you about 12 dollars a scarf, and it makes for an inexpensive but still meaningful gift.
I'm on my fourth one out of nine :D

the best thing to do is either candy, or bake fudge/cookies or something and tie it into cellophane bags (along with a smaller gift, like a necklace). that way it wouldn't be just earrings, and the next time your mom goes to the grocery store, just be like, "can you get (ingredients for recipe)?" and that way it most likely won't be your money spent on it, depending on how your mom views things. for now, dig in the couch cushions. i make a lot of money from doing stupid stuff- one time my sister gave me five bucks for eating an entire lime, and another time she gave me ten bucks for doing the "soulja boy" dance in public at a cocktail party. i felt stupid, but it was worth it. also, go to target/walmart, and look at the clearance racks. target is really good for this stuff. they always have cute socks or notebooks and stuff for only like a dollar each. you can really load up on that cute stuff for not a lot of money whatsoever. also, you could burn cd's for people as well. just make a mix of your favorite songs and burn it to disc. it's better than buying everybody a fifteen dollar cd, that's for sure! also, those big boxes of movie theatre candy are generally cheap at target, and it makes you feel like you are giving somebody more stuff if you hand them a big box of candy along with whatever else. if you go for size of your gift versus price, then you will be good- big and cheap is key :)
