You can buy plaster ornaments for abut 50 cents and paint them. It is time consuming, but a nice gift.
A student gave me 2 pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate. I thought it was a lovely gift. It is not expensive.
Buy pencils and tie pretty ribbon around it. The gesture will be appreciated.
Get see through cellophane bags and put a few pieces of candy in each one.
Candy canes are always good; and peppermint is a scent that helps in test taking.
There is an ice cream store here (Handel's) that has coins that you can buy for a free ice cream. It is not that expensive and you can put each inside a card or just hand them out. It is fun.
Create bookmarks using scrapbooking paper if you are into that kind of thing. It is easy and you can see some examples on ebay or google some ideas. It is not that expensive and they are pretty. Any kind of bookmark is useful. Here is one example: http://cgi.ebay.com/Flying-Dumbo-Disney-Scrapbook-Tag-Fibers-Cute-Bookmark_W0QQitemZ320045971564QQihZ011QQcategoryZ55418QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I think that you should get a 30-pack set of cards and just write a personal message, something a bit more than "happy holidays," for each of your classmates. If you can bring a genuine smile to their face with words rather than things, it'll be more lasting because they'll remember you because of it and it's something they can keep and look back on to remember you. As for the teachers, I would buy separate cards for them but do the same.

I love to get candles and candy. Students have given me gift certificates to the local coffee shop, the teacher's store, and passes for free car washes. All were great, useful ideas. Most often these can be purchased for under $5.
For friends, candy, movie passes, homemade cookies or other treats are wonderfully thoughtful. Someone once gave me homemade toffee popcorn and now I make it for friends too.

I've been crafting up cute stuff for years to give to my fellow teachers, and let me tell you, I won the lottery with this idea last year.
I made rum balls (which are ridiculously easy to make), and put two each in a festive, clear, plastic bag. I tied the bag with red ribbon and put a pencil in the middle. My little present looked deliciously naughty, but in an "oopsy" innocent sort of way. Everyone loved the gift, and they loved eating an alcohol-based food in school.

I savour baking and characteristic practice platters of quite a few diverse vacation cookies for type of three years now. this may get severe priced in baking resources in case you do not many times save them on your position. yet yet another idea might want to be to make cinnamon adorns. We did gingerbread females and boys, reduce from a progression with a pointy knife, besides the undeniable fact that it would want to be more convenient to apply cookie cutters. The recipe is purely cinnamon and apple sauce made right into a dough you may roll out. the single I said had you reduce skirts, pants and shirts from fabrics yet you may want to likely paint the dried adorns also. listed below is a link to between the numerous recipes i found for the adorns. solid success!

Why don't you do a grap bag. Put everyones name on a piece of paper and put them in a hat or a bag, hand it out and have everyone pick a name. Then each person buys a small gift for the other...its cheap and everyone is happy.

Who doesn't like a stuffed animal? I give all my students stuffed animals. You can get really cute ones for under a dollar. Reindeer, bears, all kinds. Then again, There's always CHOCOLATE. Merry Christmas.

Well, if you know somebody who works with ceramics, maybe you could order a set of small figures with some sort of Xmas message, that wouldn't be expensive.
