Pot holders, mug rugs, or anything small like that would work great. You can also do up Christmas ornaments, though be careful to make sure that everyone in the group celebrates Christmas. I have several Jewish friends that get very frustrated around this time of year because everything is Christmas related & they always feel left out.

There are other things that would work great. You can make a needle holder that goes around the wrist or over the finger; pincushions, et cetera.
Hope this helps.
