give them a hand made gift certificate good for one year. my hubby gives me like five free car starts which means any time i present a coupon he has to get out of bed and go start my car in the winter. I do several other things as well but you get the idea.

Try making a personalized scrapbook with photos and little momentos that are meaningful in your relationship. A scrapbook can be bought at Wal-mart for a couple of dollars or completely homemade by dressing up cardboard and using construction paper and ribbon to tie the pages together. The spirit of the holidays will no doublt be evident even on the tightest of budgets! Good luck!

Handmade or hand decorated notebooks
Book thongs (beaded bookmarker thing)
hair clips - if you can't find french barrette findings, you can use regular bobby pins and attach your beaded/shrink plastic/other design to them with wire and maybe some foam.
Scarves, hats, mittens made from patterned fleece - the scarves are no-sew. There are also some other great no-sew things you can do with fleece.
Recipe book
Calender
Stationery - this is easy to make on the computer and if you present it nice, then it looks great.
brooches, loads of ways to make
Painted mug or glass bowl
Homemade balt salts or bath cookies- very easy (google it)
Mobile
Ribbon Headband - sew elastic loop onto one end of ribbon and a button to the other end. Put over head and fasten elastic loop over button.
Scented sachets
Rice/wheat packs
Key rings - laminated photos, shrink plastic, wood, fimo or something else.
Some great ideas here (http://familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts/season/specialfeature/holiday_gifts_ms/ ) and here (http://craftbits.com/ - this site has great step-by-step instructions.)

Best way is announce yourselves that you're converted agnostic who don't celebrate Christmas but no objection of people surrounding you celebrate it and giving you gifts. :)
No hassle, No headache, Not a penny spend except pure profit. Ha!Ha!.
