I have to buy presents for my Mama & Daddy I'm thinking of colone 4 him but what to get Mama? I need 2 get a gift for a 17 year old girl, a 32 year old mother( she's my sis) , an 11 year old girl, and my 4 (soon to be 5) year old neice. And now for boys a present for a 31 Brother in-law, one for a 9 year old little pest of a brother, and my adorable little 2 1/2 nephew. My neice is deaf so no noisy toys as she wont be able to hear them, and she just loves princess clothes, but Ariel is her favorite. My little sister (11) LOVES, LOVES, LOVES horses. My in-law is an Auctioner person. My 17 year old sis likes Tinker Bell. My nephew likes Buzz Lightyear. My 32 year old sister has a hobby of scrap booking - and she makes real good ones too! Yada, yada, yada.

I'll try to help keep it under $22.
1.) 17 yr. Glow in the dark stars to attach to the ceiling...Dollar Tree
2.) 32yr. Decorative scissors for scrap booking...Dollar Tree
3.) 11 yr. Cute plastic horses. Many styles available at...Dollar Tree
4.) 4yr. All kinds of princess stuff is available at...Dollar Tree.
5.) 31 yr. Coffee mug..Dollar Tree
6.) 9yr. A book he could read, or check out the toy section for something he Will like, but won't annoy you....Dollar Tree
7.)2 1/2 Light sword...Dollar Tree
8 & 9.) mom and dad. They don't want any Christmas gifts. You could offer to help them anyway you could over the holidays. That would be the best gift you could give.
I'm sorry, apparently I missed some one. With my shopping list, you've only spent $7.00. Spend $3.00 on wrapping paper, ribbon and tape, and you still have $12.00 left over. With that, you could buy a nice serving bowl that the family could use each year for the holidays I hope you can use some of these suggestions.

For the adults in your family (including the 17-year old girl), how about a letter telling each of them the special things about them that you love, or recounting a funny or touching memory of them in your life? Or present a coupon book to them, offering free babysitting, housecleaning, a trip to the park, etc?
That leaves you $22 for the 4 kids.
The 2-1/2 year old is easy; mine loves just some crayons and a pad of paper, along with some time with you to help them draw ($2).
If you have enough money, for the 4-year old, you can give her a "make your own necklace/bracelet" kit ($6)... Make sure you set aside some time to help her with it and make her feel special. If you don't have the money, just give her 1-2 old necklaces of yours. It'll make her feel quite grown-up.
9-year old pest brothers are all about the foam weaponry (Nerf lightsabers for example) or a skateboard (although in that case you should get your mother to spring for a helmet!). Either costs around $10.
By the time you've paid sales tax, that doesn't leave you much for the 11-year old sister. A subscription to Young Rider Magazine (www.youngrider.com) will set you back $12.99. Alternatively, you could find some little horse figurines at Target/Walmart for around $7.
Hope this helps!

Wow, the purse is a little tight there. I think it is impossible to buy for that many with only $22. Why not bake up a batch of Christmas cookies and go to a dollar store or discount store and buy fancy containers. Put a card with them and give them cookies.You sound very young so if you need help baking get your mom or another adult to help.For your mom write out a coupon stating that you will help her with some chore around the house.Good luck and Merry Christmas. In olden days people used to make all their gifts and Christmas was much more meaningful than it is today.

I would suggest you only buy for the 4 year old niece, 2.5 year old nephew and 9 year old brother. For your brother, a comic(spider man is a good choice). For your niece, a my little pony, the little plastic one not the big plush one. For the 2.5 year old, a little turquoise bear from the dollar store and some candy canes. Christmas really should be just for the little kids and the older ones will just have to understand. Tell them all how you love them, and that one day when you are a famous actress you'll buy them lovely things, but for now you wanted to just make sure the kids got presents from you.

The best place to go would be the dollar store if you have one near you. They have many things that you could buy for your family and even buy some tape, wrapping paper and some cards if you have the extra money left after you buy gifts. Good luck with your $22 shopping spree. Have a great holiday.

This sitting Usurper of the form who claims to be the President of the USA, is doing his point superb to weaken us fiscally, militarily, His purpose is to divide the rustic, and that's between the only issues he has efficiently performed. What he has executed under a cloak of secrecy is to systematically carry down the american Capitalistic equipment. he's a non secular coward and Socialist, he's not a loose marketplace supporter. he's a supply away artist of the utmost order, and must be stopped. Come 2010 the rustic will communicate returned. And this time the favourite Liberals and the wanna be communist and socailist will fall. This going on will enable us to sink the bit in Obamas mouth and close him up and rein him in. Rendering him a lame duck for 2 years.

Well, with $22 there's not much you can do. Either do some serious dollar store shopping or do some handmade gifts.
Either that, depending on how old you are, take up a seasonal job because there's not much else you can do with that little of money.

Okay I know you have all these great ideas on here for your family but 22 dollars is really pushing it. I would suggest making them all something.
Do you know how to bake.. Brownies or Cookies. Buy some christmas tins at the dollar store and pass these out as gifts its something you made with love and who doesn't like something sweet to munch on....

they say the best present is homemade!
so make something special for all of them. like bake or make a blanket, or you can always go to a fabric store find a soft fabric and make them all scarfs!! thats what my grandma did last year.
