ok...
Mom and dad: Make little coupon books of chores or things you will do for them. Iie: Mow the lawn, load the dishwasher, one friday night of free baby-sitting... etc. Cheap, and well, a lot of times parents don't want dust collectors, but appreciate the help more.
You can do the same for a 5 year old girl... i mean an hour of your time reading a book... (books make great gifts as well)
helping her clean her room, taking her to the park... etc.
The little girl probably would love to have cheap jewelry, fairy princess wand (5 dollars at wal*mart, maybe cheaper elsewhere)
stickers and stamps and play make up.
Nine year old boy: Hot wheel cars, models. My 11 year old loves to play cards, like UNO or even rummy. CARS the movie has a lot of "stuff" out now, maybe you can find some school supplies or small "cars" stuff.
Again... books make great gifts.
Good luck

It seems to me it should be up to you---not your mother how much money you choose to spend on X-Mas gifts.
You can go to the dollar store and easily find four gifts for the folks you mentioned. They have dolls and toy car models for boys and candles and picture frames----you can put your loved one's pic in a frame. They have books and makeup and earrings and oodles of stuff. Good luck!

Girl- Make her a set of wings or something for her or her favorite doll, 3$(supplies)
Mom- Get her some flowers and cheap chocolate and make her a nice card (7$)
Step Dad- Something funny, beer holder or a nice tie.. (8$)
Boy- Toy car or a video game some kind of car decoration for his room? (10$)
SOrry if thats a little above budget, but get creative :]

for the kids you can find something at kmart they have a special on toys this week. for your mom u should get something from the dollar store like a brush set of make up.for your step father a gretting card or a mug at the dollar store.but your mom shouldn't give you a restriction. you do what you want and nomatter what they should appressiate you.

hugs for the parents,
go to a store like k mart for the kids.
or maybe a thrift store, you could buy a lot for $10 there and a 9 or 5 year old probly won't care if its new.

Make it! purchase a physique, and utilising extreme-high quality paper, print out a poem or citation that the guy will like. you may gown it up with scrap reserving stuff from the greenback keep. the tip product can look far greater valuable than a 10 greenback present ought to.
