Because of the the economy and everyone being on a tight budget this year, my mom is having us do a homemade christmas this year.... I need help coming up with ideas for my 20 year old brother who is a Marine and is getting shipped after christmas and for my mom. Please help! By the way I am making my dad a fleece blanket, my sister a coffee gift basket with homemade coffees, and my younger brother a hideaway book....
--------------------
Your ideas for your Dad and Sister are perfect for homemade gifts, in my opinion, as for your Brother since he is so young and will probably be away from his family for the first time I would suggest a Memory book with Photo's of Christmas past and maybe some written memories along with them and some things you think he might miss such as a favorite CD you can burn of the net, or something along the lines of what you are making for your father. You mother I am sure would be thrilled to receive anything you would make her but think about her hobbies, and her favorite things to enjoy at home, like maybe a book maker for her favorite book or her Bible with picture's of all you guys and you could laminate it to protect and sturdy the maker to last longer and protect the photos, as a mama myself I would be tickled pink at my kids making me something like that, maybe also write her some coupons to cash into you for favors I am not sure of your age but you could offer one for her to relax while you cleaned up the kitchen or did laundry or give her a foot massage back rub anything to pamper her efforts to save her family money during this hardship from the economy. Try searching on the net for ho made gift ideas and you could find something that would suite her own personal style or likes. Good luck and you are sweet to have asked the help of others to make a gift more special for your loved ones! Happy Holidays!
