I don't know how old you are.. but one year my kids (who were in their early teens and who had no money either) gave me coupons good for things like carwashes, room cleaning, a day of no complaints, etc...
each coupon was hand drawn and signed .. each one gave me time to spend with my children
They honored each one that I presented (I still have a few that I am saving even tho one ofthem has just gotten married).
I always thought that was one of the best and most thoughtful presents I ever got from them..
just a thought...
Merry Christmas to you ...

It has to be a "thought that counts" type gift
Put various gifts together in a basket or decorative shoe box. Be creative since you don't have much money and make it very gift-like.
You can even put their gifts together
"For my Mom and My Dad"
"For my two favorite people"
Hit the 99 cent store or your local five and diime and pretend you're a kid in school again.
Get a little candy or a few pieces of fruit
a cute key chain
a nice post card
and write a simple note expressing your appreciation for all they do for you and how much you love them
a couple of Lotto scratch-offs
or a Lotto or Mega Millions ticket
Just look around the store for cute little items that you can put ina little box or tin with some tissue paper
And give them a big kiss and hug!
Parents understand when we don't have money. They just want to know their loved and appreciated.

Once you grow older, Christmas by and large revolves round a smaller set of folks. Also you do not deliver cash for yuletide you deliver items. If you are not able to find the money for steeply-priced stuff then simply purchase some thing a laugh and low cost. Or if the individual has youngsters the most commonly count on everybody to shop for MOST of the items for the youngsters. If you simply are not able to find the money for it, then think loose to mention that.

There are many cologne sets that can be bought for your dad and is a traditional gift for kids to give father. Mother can receive anything for her bath. You could also get her something Christmas themed for decorating if she likes that kind of thing.
There are many faux jewelry items. You could get your dad a new tool if you know that he needs one like a screwdriver set. You can also write them each a Christmas letter telling them how much you love them and appreciate all they do to support you during the year and how happy you are to be their child.
