Answer 1

3yr old boy-Buy him a pack of cars from the dollar store or a coloring book and crayons.

1 month old girl/13 month girl- Make a poem using the letters of her name or right her name and decorate it with things that start with that letter and  and frame it.(Ex: Kiley- Dray a Kite, ivy, etc.)  You could make a frame from sticks. Make the poem first so you know how big you have to make it.  Lay the sicks on top of each other and glue it together.  You cold glue on fake flowers or whatever you may have around the house.  Attach a piece of yarn to the back so her mom can hang it.

Mom & Dad- You could make them a coupon book that says different things that you will do for them without argument when they hand it to you.  Examples-I will wash the dishes, take out the trash, make you a sandwich, spend time together. etc.  Make the items things that you don't usually do.  Just take paper and wright what you will do and then poke a hole in it and tie a piece of yarn to keep the pages together. Place the coupon books inside a card that made.  

4 Aunts-You could make them bracelets also.  Make sure they all look different.  You could find out there favorite two colors and make it from the colors they give you.

Answer 2

Here are some fun ideas for you to consider....

If you have extra pictures, such as random self taken pics; you can make a collage of pictures of you and your siblings and place in a large picture frame for your parents. (remember, parents gifts can be for both, unless they live apart, do one for each) If you can knit or crochet, you can make pot holders, scarves or coasters for aunts and uncles. You can also do the same if you can sew.

To buy things, earn money by selling toys, clothes ect... that you no longer want or need anymore. Have a yardsale, or post on a yardsale site (yahoo has them in the groups section but make sure you have your parents permission before posting things for sale). Offer to clean houses for relatives for a fee, or cleaning yards, ect...

Ideas for the older boy cousins, you can get them a gift card of $5.00 or more.

For the little ones, you can get nice things at dollar stores such as family dollar, doller general, ect.. outfits there you can get for $5.00 and under.

Instead of cooking...look up recipes and create recipe cards, or a recipe book using a small binder and placing blank pages in there. Use colored pages for the separator pages. Look in a Betty Crocker Recipe Book to get an idea of what I'm talking about.

You can also do a cookie mix in canning jars. No cooking required. Just put the dry ingredients in a jar, and close it.

Look below for the sites for directions for the cookie in a jar recipe. you can also google "Gifts in a Jar" and it will show several sites with fun crafts to do.

Answer 3

Oh my , Oh my!  when  there is a list like that i would do the White Elephant you will have lots of fun and you also will save money. You should come up with the idea and discuss this with everybody.

Answer 4

For the 8 and 6 year old boys, try something do do with their favorite sports team, like a cap or a baseball thats uniquely colored.

Answer 5

Mom - An engraved jewelry trinket box.

Dad - A gift card to home depot or blockbuster w/ pajamas

Grandma - A porcelain doll

Grandpa - fishing tackle

3 year old boys always loves balls balls balls.

8 year old. Game boy cartridge or a pirates of the carribean game.

13 month old girl - shoes

6 year old boy - dinosours or one of the new themed toys.

1 month old girl- something bright and crinkely

YOur aunts and uncles will be happy with anything.

Just remember that "Tis the season to be jolly" not jagged and stressed. Good luck!
