Make a laminated (or non-laminated) bookmark: find pictures or photos that they would like - animals, sports, favorite band, hearts, flowers, cars, pictures of the family or the two of you - it can be a few small pics or just one. Cut the construction paper to the size you want and start gluing the pictures on, then take it to Staples/Office Max, Office Depot or a store like that and get it laminated, then cut it. After hole-punch the top and put a ribbon or twine of some kind through the hole and tie it in a knot.
