End of term presents - for your class?

Any great ideas?! (I will quickly apologise for being in Scotland and therefore only having another week or so to go Grin
I've previously taken a whole class pic then used vistaprint to turn it into a fridge magnet or similar but I have no days from now till end of term with a full class in attendance.
Don't want to break the bank, definitely no more than £1 per pupil, ideally a lot less!!

Watching with interest! I haven't got my class anything yet (or my TA!)

One of DD's teachers used to give out a tiny card with the class photo on the front and a little handwritten message inside commenting on how proud she was of them that year - it was really sweet and we've still got it from 8 years ago.

I've also got 3 children leaving to think about (cards wise.)

An ice lolly for each of them on the last day of term will be what I get this year.

A colleague makes biscuits and then ices their names onto each one.
One year I tracked down very cheap white t shirts and got fabric pens. We then had several lessons at the end of term filled with them designing and making their own t shirts.
Another year (Christmas, mind) my colleague and I were so fed up with them not having rulers I got a job lot of rulers from somewhere and some gold & silver pens so they could personalise their own ruler - also filled a session at the end of term.
(I now have a mixed age class so I will be teaching half of them again next year - getting a goodbye present feels wrong as half of them won't be moving!)
Oh - I've also done a CD Rom of all the photos I've taken all year. When feeling particularly imaginative, with year 6 who were leaving, I put a selection of photos into movie maker along with their choice of backing track. I then played "their" film at the end of their last assembly - not a dry eye in the house :) They then got a copy of it on a CD Rom.

I've done the CDs too previously. Lots of colleagues do personalised biscuits or give little plants. I often do pencils and notebooks or book people books. Sometimes sticker books too - it depends what I can source most cost effectively and how much time I have!

Thanks all! Yes end of term always surprises me like Xmas...! So I've left it late and have zero budget!

I've done CDs with y6/p7 leavers before but have y2/p3 this year, doesn't seem as appropriate for them.

Love the t-shirt idea will have a wee look on eBay. I thought about letting them decorate a wee pot and plant a seed too?
