Since Christmas is almost here, I need gifts for my family. I basically have no money. What's something easy I can make for them?

I need something for my mom, dad, 17 year old sister, and my 15 year old twin. I need different ideas for each of them. can you give me some suggestions? thank you in advance!(:

We used to make personal coupon books for family members that are geared towards their interests. For example mom and dad could be 1 free dishwashing or 1 meal cooked for you. The older sister if she has a car could be 1 free car wash etc etc. They are personable, cute and shows you put thought into it . and it is free

As for your parents you can make a digital photo album with sideshow, music etc of all of you and burn it to a blank DVD (super cheap). Parents love creative ways of showing off their family and it's creative.

You can make candles out of square
1/2 gallon or quart milk cartons. Get
a book or look online for candle
instructions you don't have to buy
candle molds to make nice candles.

Also, blanket fabric is on sale now.
You can make small throws for
watching TV by putting two pieces
together, cutting in on edges about
1 1/2 inches, about an inch apart
and then tie the two pieces together
with strips. I think it is called a tied
blanket. You can also find it on the
Internet. You can make pillows to
match. The throws can be done
pretty easily and pretty fast.

The good thing is you still have a little time. The 2 suggestions are great parents, love things that are made by you. I didn't have a digital camera ( hadn't been invented) what I did have was lots of photos. I made a photo history of my family. Go on 1 of the genealogy web sites, & make a family tree chart. If you are talented enough, write a song, poem, or paint something .If you can crochet or knit,, knit them something nice-good luck

My daughter made me a card..she made it very heartfelt. It's the best gift she could have given me. No store bought gift would ever compare.
