I have 3 brothers, 3 sisters, 2 brothers-in-law, 2 sisters-in-law, 9 neices and 2 nephews. Not to mention parents and grandparents. Any ideas on inexpensive home made gifts? The kids ages range from newborn to 14.

Try making a craft Christmas Ornament for EACH of these individuals. I know that I've always tried to get my own children (now adults on their own) to participate in these Christmas Crafting sessions (and it is inexpensive) -- but as they got older (into the teen years) they got greedier.

Well...
For the 3 brothers I would get a hot wheels car if there young, a cheep game if ther older. Brother-in-laws, maybe a tie if they work a lot, a book if thry like to read. The sisters-in-law, a new blouse, or jeans. For the neices and nefews, if they are new born maybe, a doll for girl a stuft animal for a boy. A little older a action figuer for a boy, a doll for a girl. A little older, a boy a cheap game, or if they skate board maybe new grip tape, for a girl make up. And around fourteen, if a boy a game, a girl, a brush or makeup or money for both. For your mom & dad, for your dad, a 1# dad cup, and mom a book. Well hop I helped!
P.S. all that should round to about 100$-150$. Cheap for christmas.

I'd have to agree with the first person's answer...scrapbooks.
Other suggestions:
1.) Movie theater gift certificates ($5-$10)
2.) Fast Food-Pizza gift certificates ($5-$10-$20)
3.) Gift baskets:
DVD, Box of Microwave Popcorn & Box of Movie Theater size candy
Relaxation CD, box of chocolates & a good paperback book

Some gifts I have gotten that I really enjoyed were a homemade Christmas pillow that my daughter-in-law made. She said materials cost about $20.00 it has been used every Christmas for many years, I have asked for a re-do of this gift same daughter-in-law and grand-daughter helped, they picked up pine cones and dipped them in wax. They looked pretty by fireplace and make great fire starters, They gave them to me in a big basket.
gifts I have given: I gave a grand-daughter a Christmas rabbit, I wrote a story to go with the rabbit and her grandfather taped the story so she can play it again and again. They lived in another city so they got to hear their grandfather read them a story without his being there. Coupons for services are always good, babysitting, watering plants when someone is away, washing and detailing a car things like that. Hope this helps, Merry Christmas.

Buy them some clothes, calenders, a DVD and gift certificates to their favorite restaurants.
