For your mom, you can use an old shirt to sew up a stuffed animal. You can make a necklace out of seashells if you live near the beach. I'm not sure about boys.
But, the easiest and best gifts you can make, in my opinion, are:
Chocolate-covered strawberries:
Strawberries
Dark chocolate or semi-sweet for dipping (about $3 a bag)
White chocolate (about $3 a bag)
A bag of dipping chocolate is about enough for a pint of strawberries.
Nuke chocolate in the microwave for 20 seconds. Add a little water. Stir. Microwave in 10 second intervals and add water until chocolate becomes smooth.
Dip strawberries in chocolate and lay them on aluminum foil or wax paper.
Melt white chocolate to drizzle over strawberries.
(You can dip the strawberries in white chocolate and drizzle the darker chocolate over them too.)
Thin mints:
One to two sleeves of ritz crackers
A bag of semi sweet, white, or dark chocolate
Peppermint extract.
Nuke chocolates the same way as above. Add a couple drops of peppermint extracts (2-3 drops) or maybe half a teaspoon.
Dip crackers in the chocolate and lay them on aluminum or wax paper.
It tastes just like thin mints.
Put them in little clear bags, or get little boxes.

Moms love artwork. Original Works or Shutterfly can let you draw or take a photo and turn it into a mug or tile. That is a great gift.
A day-to-day calendar is great. You can get the kind that fits your family's personality, like Brain Puzzlers or Pearls Before Swine.
But if you want to make something, I'm lost. Sorry.

That depends upon your knowledge, skills and the interests of your family members. Use your talents. If you are good with words, write a letter or story. If you are good with music, then consider a song. There are also crafts and hobbies to consider. Is wood-work an option? If you have fun with your project, then it is likely that your family will enjoy it. What about cooking? Perhaps you could prepare a meal or desert for them.

Make them all a card with a poem in it.
Make a photo frame and put a picture of you in it to give your your parents. You can use old puzzles that are missing pieces to make the frame.
Take a clear glass christmas ball and put feathers in it or some glue with glitter.
Make an ornament with your brothers name on it and you can decorate it.

Moms really like heartfelt kind of stuff.
So if your on a tight budget anything you make ( like a christmas oranment with her name on it or "number one mom" ).
But if you have a couple bucks to spend i would get her some of those new memory foam slippers. My mom loves them .
(you can purchase them at walmart in a variety of colors)
For your dad it really depends. If hes into a particular sport get him his favorite teams hoodie. If hes into hunting,fishing,etc. They sell t-shirts for that stuff too!
You can find these most likely at walmart or a big department store like JC penny and Sears.
For your brother. Whats his favorite store? Get him a giftcard.
Does he have an ipod? They have itunes giftcards too.
Hope this helps c:

Write a poem, or something else you want to tell them, make cookies, or just give them a big hug. Say you love them, I think that is a great Christmas gift!
Merry Christmas to you and your family from Santaland, Finland!

perhaps make them Christmas Cards be creative, or sing Christmas carols to them, do some extra chores for your parents. make coupons to them with one chore each day for a week that they pick you will do,
or perhaps draw a picture.. or paint, ect
perhaps you have so photos around perhaps make a family colage and give them out as gifts, or scrapbook ect,
hope you have fun & remember its from the heart and its the thought that matters,

Well that depends on what you can make and what they like. It could range from breakfast to a photo album of fun moments. Merry Christmas.

IT'S AWESOME!!!
Anyway, if you make them something, anything, I'm sure they will love it. Think outside of the box. Make a card that looks like a present, or something that is creative yet amazing. Also, get a Clubpenguin and go onto that website!!

I don't know maybe I'm silly but I love when my 12 year's son cook breakfast for me.
Have you ever cook for them? If not I think that would be pretty nice.Breakfast for Christmas morning.
