Well, I dunno, you are "da creative one" so why don't you figure something out.
haha, no I totally understand your question. I, too, am trying to figure out just the perfect, creative, gift to give this year.
I know that you can always buy those small candle holders from Wally World or something and decorate it with beads, lace, ribbon, etc., and then find a great smelling candle to put in it.
There is also the scrapbooking idea. If you guys have been friends for a while I am sure it wouldn't be too hard to find some nice pictures.
If you know what kind of music your friends like you can make a CD mix for them and then docorate the case you put it in.
Those are the best ideas I can think up right now. But,if all else fails you can buy a gift card.
Best of wishes!

I'm always thinking on the creative (okay, fine... cheap) side, so here's what I'm thinking about getting my friends: red or green gift bags filled with a 1) couple scented candles, 2) some baked goods (I say this, but then again, I don't bake), and 3) a Christmas ornament or two. A few stores actually sell these adorable little "S'mores" ornaments. You'll know what I'm talking about when you see them. Oh, and lastly, if you have some sort of inside joke going on with your friends, try to find a small gift that correlates to that-- it makes your gift all the more memorable. I hope this helps!

I like to go all out on the Christmas baking and package that up nicely (say, twelve cookies in a cookie/spice jar and a nice ribbon). It is pretty standard, but you can get creative with the recipes. This one always goes over well with my friends.
You can also donate to charity in your friends' names. For instance, World Vision will let you donate a certain amount of moeny that will buy a family a cow. No joke. How would you like to receive a card saying, "Your friend has bought a Ugandan family a cow on your behalf. Merry Christmas." It's a little quirky, but it's nice because it really does make a big difference for a family in a poor country.

Depends on how much work you want to do, how much you want to spend on supplies, and how early you start. I make candy and cookies, because that's what they're used to; right around Thanksgiving, I often hear " Am I gonna get my ( insert cookie or candy name here) this year?" from my friends. I buy pretty jars, goblets, or trays that I see from thrift or dollar stores during the year, and use those for my cookie and candy creations. However, I also make decorations, cards, dolls, jewelry, stationery, and other little doo dads that people enjoy simply because they are handmade. It takes a lot of the commercialism out of Christmas and puts the heart and thought back in it.

My friend is a vegan and I came across a site called adoptaturkey.org , she absolutely loved it. For $20 you can save a turkey. They send it to a sanctuary to live in peace. The organization also sends the adopter a profile of your sponcered turkey. This will probably only work with vegies and vegans though.
