What can I get for my parents for Christmas at the last minute?

Question

What can I get for my parents for Christmas at the last minute?

This year I procrastinated to the very last minute for Christmas presents for my family. Bad news is: is that my dad is working this week and can't take me out, my mom is disabled and sick and my relatives are out of town for Christmas. Any good ideas for last minute Christmas presents? It is really not my fault that I waited until the last minute because I went to California while it was Black Friday, but I couldn't shop there because everything was so expensive. Then, I got back home and I had to go to Ohio for a tournament and when I came back, we went shopping, but my sister came along (of all times, she decides to do this one) so I couldn't really do any shopping because my sister always spoils the secrets. Now, I'm panicking because I love giving presents, that's one of my favorite things about Christmas is giving gifts. Now, I don't know what to give! I'm going to clean up the whole house as a Christmas present for my mom and I'm going to make Christmas breakfast with my mom for my dad on Christmas morning, but I still don't feel that it is enough. I need some ideas and I can't buy things online... My only idea is homemade gifts, but what to make?

Thanks for the help in advance and no rude comments please

Favorite Answer

NOT to worry, IF you don't drive and the city or suburb you live in has good public transportation. Then take that to go to the malls, shopping centers and the downtown shopping area. But you have to make the time to go and do that, depending on how long it takes you to find what you are looking for. Last of all it best to know what your parents likes are and are into say like golf, yoga, playing poker or blackjack, like reading fiction and nonfiction spy books, gardening, what are they fans of and so on.

Anyway how about any of these things on the list.
