I don't know how old you are but do you have neighbors that you can offer to do odd jobs for? What about extended family members?
*babysitting
*household chores
*yard work
*pet sitting
*plant sitting
*newspaper route
are all good ways to earn a few extra dollars throughout the year!

aww that's sounds like a cute idea! Why don't you make them a card, maybe put decorations like glitter all over it. And you can write a poem on it too if you want. I was actually going to suggest baking cookies, like in christmas shapes if you have the cookie cutters(you can buy them for really cheap at the dollar store, that's what i did lol) or just use what you have to make them. If your good with art, maybe u can paint or make some arts and crafts for christmas for them. then decorate it around the house.... Or Maybe use the frame you have and put a picture of all of you on it(or take a pic to put on there from Christmas). Sorry I realy don't have much ideas...I really think they'll like if you bake though. I think that no matter what the fact you made it from ur heart they will like it, I know I would if my kids would ever do something like that. But anyways good luck and early Merry Christmas too you! :)

Well, one way to do it is to go shopping with your mom and get the present for your dad, and then go shopping with your dad and buy a present for your mom. You could ask your parents for it, if that doesn't work, offer to do some chores around the house for money... and if that doesn't work, offer to do some chores for neighbors or something like that. I'm sure your parents will have something for you to do around the house.
Also, you could try to make a homemade gift for the both of them...like a scrapbook or a collage picture frame is nice. :)

Well if you have any talents, your parents may PREFER to receive gifts that you've taken the time to make (ie; paintings, wood carvings, crafts) those things are more personal.
If you want to buy something and you're too young to get a job, you could always try doing things like shoveling driveways for the neighbours, babysitting, walking peoples dogs, mowing lawns, etc.
You could also make your parents "gift cards" which grant them things like a weekend with no housework (that you'll take care of), breakfast in bed, offer to make dinner.
Hope that helps!

Get together with your mom to get your dad a present, and do the same with your dad, for your mom. They can go out and buy what you want to give them, and perhaps pay/help pay for it.
Ask them and see.

I used to tell my Mom what I wanted to get for my Dad and she would buy it and then I would tell my Dad what I wanted to get for my Mom and he would buy it, usually my Dad would take me shopping because he was trying to figure out what he wanted to get my Mom anyways so it all worked out in the end.

ask to go halfway with your other parent on a gift that you like. parents love it when you make them nice little gifts too. just get the money by asking to do house chores for a dollar or two.

get your dad to help you pay for a present for your mom and vice versa, or just make something for them. It's the thought that counts.
