How beautiful a child you must be to want to give to your family. It is a breath of fresh air. Have you been saving your allowance? Can you ask to do more? Explain to your parents your ideas and say that you really wanted to do something nice. Maybe, and hopefully they will understand. If not, whatever you get them will be enough, no matter how small, because you are a caring, loving daughter. Good luck and Merry Christmas!

Parents - easy home made cards, and most moms keep a card from their child forever, and sometimes give them back to them when they have children. Love is! just that love.
So give them a card with a coupon in it: 1 coupon for helping with the trash - anytime, 1 coupon for cleaning up the kitchen - anytime the parent asks, 1 coupon for opening the doors for the mother or dad and helping unload the car with grocieries - anytime, 1 coupon for being nice and not asking the parent to put something else on tv - anytime, so got the idea?
Take the family to breakfast or lunch, and tell them it's on you, however give them a maximum amount to spend as you show them that you are a responsible person and will stay within your budget. If you can't take the whole family, just take your Mom - and give her a coupon for it - in her Christmas card - good anytime!
You could also buy a movie for the family and provide microwave popcorn, and you serve popcorn, pretzels and drinks as your Christmas treat for the whole family, and of course you offer to clean up afterwards.
Your family may really love the "new you" and appreciate the family time that will last a lifetime. Don't forget to take family pictures!
GOD bless.

You can make them gift certificates for things like doing one of your brother or sisters chores, helping your mom around the house, or a hug, walking the dog, or doing something that they enjoy. Merry Christmas.

The price of the gifts is not important. Give them with a hug and your family will be very happy.
Merry Christmas

you don't need any money. They are parents. You think they are going to belittle you for not spending a bunch of money? No way.
Give what you have in your heart.
Write each of them a letter from your heart about why you are lucky to have them. They will keep it forever. (and be sincere)
I'm keeping mine.
