Are there some chores you can do around the house, either to earn money to buy your parents a gift, or just to do that as a present to them? Trust me, they will appreciate it! Rake leaves, shovel snow, help hang Christmas lights, something above and beyond your normal responsibilities.
Other than that, can you offer to babysit, walk dogs, or do chores for other neighbors to earn some money?
If none of that is an option, how about baking them some cookies, Christmas candy, or making them hot wassail or chocolate? I'm sure you can probably find a recipe or two online using ingredients you already have around the house.

Make some cards on your computer stating how much u appreciate them, and find a way to explain in the card in a joking way that u dont have any money to get any gifts.print them out and give it to them.they should appreciate it.and if u dont have a program on ur computer for making cards just write them a letter and give it to them,it's the same thing, cuz parents love when u show that u appreciate them.Hope i helped!

go to your local craft and hobby store and find something to make. homemade gifts are better than store-bought gifts any day :o) you could get away with only spending a couple dollars. if you have NO money at all, borrow $10 from a friend or sibling so you can buy the materials to make something.
good luck!

My friend, if you have materials that you can use to make them something rather buy them something that will mean more then anything store bought. Gifts from the heart mean much more to parents and I assure you it will mean alot for years to come. God Bless and Have a Blessed Holiday season.

They would love for you to get your math grades up. Careers based on math are big moneymakers. Make them a 2008 report card with an A in math on it, and work on that goal.

Homemade gifts are awesome! You could always compile a coupon book...offering your services to help out around the house, such as dishes, laundry, cleaning, cooking dinner, babysitting, etc. My parents always loved that!

Make them something. Get creative. Those are the best gifts. Maybe ask your mom if you can do sme extra chores for like 20.00 so you can get christmas gifts.

my mom gets a coupon book. i write down what chores i am willing to do and she gives me the coupons when she needs me to do something. examples are rubbing your momms feet or back, making them breakfast on the weekend, get them a drink let them choose one show each that they can turn once!, and make sure to get yo coupons and rip them up as they get used because my mom kept using one of hers because i kept forgetting i had done a chore. good luck and Merry christmas!
