I've made up little coloring page packages with a few pages to go with the holiday and a few markers - tie it with a ribbon and it's done! I also saw an idea on Pinterest to do homemade play dough in Christmas flavores (peppermint, evergreen, hot chocolate) and give it in a jar. I think I might do that instead... Send it as a "few of your favorite things" from the day home.

I usually do birthday gifts but I'm also finding it a bit much to do Christmas, considering the cost of craft materials and special treats, as well as having to get gifts for the whole family.
