Go to gift from kids?

What do you usually give people from your LOs? With Christmas coming up, I always feel obligated to get something for those people who will give my girls something. Since this will be just about everyone we know, reciprocating was getting pretty expensive. I would love to come up with some ideas that can be from the girls. (And asking the girls is pretty pointless as I have no money for ponies or new cars or boats)

Re: Go to gift from kids?
I give people a thank you note and/or a picture of DD. Unless its me, DH or the grandparents, I won't give them a craft from DD.
Sorry but I don't believe that you have to give everyone who gets your kids a gift one in return. My kids give their grandparents gifts and that is about it (well they buy something for each other as well). For aunts/uncles, etc who choose to get them a gift, they girls write nice thank you cards/draw a picture. WE do a grab bag with the cousins on my side of the family so each person buys for one other person and on my DH's side, we as a family will buy the other kids gifts but the adults do not exchange gifts.
If you really feel the need to give a gift to everyone, I would have a huge arts and crafts day and let your kids make a ton of cute crafts and hand those out.
When my DS was in daycare and had tons of different teachers I did a $5 gift card for Family Video, a package of unpopped pop corn, box of movie candy and a 2 cans of soda. It came out to about $7. For his main teachers we did something nicer.
