This year I found these awesome plastic carrying cases ($2) and had the little store personalize them with childs name and drawing of something that pertains to them. Its nice because I have alot of "different" names. In the boxes I put a small notebook and 8 pack of crayons ($1 for both) and then a flashlight with their name on it ($7) and if they do not have one with name, got a cool design on them.

I also got pint glass jars ($1 each) and am going to fill with the cookies in a jar recipe to give to the parents and a christmas card.

So about $15 a child. I love getting personalized things, and look for them all year. I also love giving things for families to make together. Last year I had packets of hot cocoa and decorating items for cookies.
