Maybe you can bake some holiday treats and add a cute story or poem. I wish I knew who you needed to give gifts to. Also, check out www.homemakingcottage.com for more ideas. Here is one thing I looked up and found on the site....
Fresh baked bread, rolls, breadsticks, or cookies. (Send your recipe along with it.)
Free or cheap gift ideas...
Share your favorite thought or scripture. Write it on a nice paper and attach a magnet on the back.
Stationary and stamps always make a nice gift, especially for someone leaving on a mission or going away to college.
Stencil on an apron, dish towel, pot holder, pillowcase or t-shirt.
Balloon bouquets, Birthday banners made on the computer.
Fresh fruits, vegetables, or flowers from your garden. Since this is so late in the year I would suggest canned items that were from your garden. You can decorate the top with a square of Christmas fabric and tie with twine.
A basket of small sample items. (Shampoo & Conditioner, lotion, bubble bath, soap, etc.)
Coupon for free babysitting, window washing, ironing, etc.
Take dinner to a friend in a picnic basket with paper plates, paper cups, napkins, and plastic utensils.
A bottle of 7-up or root beer ties with balloons and ribbon decorated for the Christmas season.
Give items to go with a favorite hobby. (film & batteries for a photographer, etc.)
List all of the reasons you are thankful for someone and why you love them. Fill a jar with candy pieces and the notes you wrote for them.
Mirror with a note. "Everyone enjoys the goodness you reflect."
Tape record some of your children's stories. Present the tape with the books so they can read along.
Have a "Souper" day! Give a can of soup and box of crackers.
Here is a gift basket idea.
Movie basket
Includes: Gift certificates to video store, microwave flavored popcorn, peanuts, and pop.

Depends who you are gifting...relatives would like a picture of the new child(ren). The local $ store has a raft of frames or things you decorate the frames with.
Neighbors, school, etc - again $ store for little baskets you could fill with chocolate or peppermints.
Martha Stewarts or DIY website has a lot of craft ideas.
