There is a huge tree in the school library and every year, the teachers are supposed to have their students make ornaments for the tree. I saw an idea for making shrinky dink type ornaments out of plastic cups.
I had the students decorate the cups with Sharpies:
I punched a hole in the side with a regular hole punch. Then I cooked them for about 1 minute at 350 degrees:
I'm going to string a ribbon through the hole and put their picture on the back (I get a page of stickers of their school pictures.)
They are cute + easy + unique and I am happy. That is all.
(If you decide to do something like this, use a cup with a 5 recycling code. I didn't try other types but my googling research said that was what to use.)

Wow! They turned out great!
I love this. I was trying to think of something different to do on Thanksgiving and I might try this. Now do I have enough permanent markers? Have a good trip and tell your mom hi from me.
