thank you all for the wonderful ideas and suggestions.
an executive decision has been made. and let me say, it was not an easy decision to make.
drum roll......... ththtththththththththththththt
i will be making mug rugs for the masses!!!
there are a few ladies who i'm closer to, they shall receive a snappy coin purse to put their notions in. i'll be using this tutorial: http://www.sewcanshe.com/blog/2013/4...from-sewcanshe
again, thank you for all your help in narrowing down the possibilities

A nice gratitude note for them would be loved by them and kept for many years. Also here is a link for making cute bookmarks http://craftsnob/2011/09/bookmarks-and-journal-wraps/
I plan on making a bunch of them. There is also a tute on these. quick, easy and inexpensive.

Perhaps I helped them with appliqué or brought a good appetizer for the group. Think about what makes each friend special, and create a note card for them with a special message. For the handful of special ladies, have them over for lunch and tell them how special they all are. At this point in my life, I don't need more "quick gifts", but I do love thank you notes!
If you want to make it a little more special ... make the note card!
A PP miniature or photograph of a quilt/project that you have done would be nice on the front.
One year for Christmas, the photo inserts I used were pics of my friends throughout the year. That went over really well ... and would be something you could do too.

I received this as a gift a few years ago and loved it so I made it for my Sunday School Class last year and they loved it. It is a finished 2" square pouch with a wooden cross inside. This poem is sewn to the top of the pouch. You put your name on the bottom of the poem. If you like it and would like to use it I have the poem already set up with 9 on a sheet. All you would have to do is change the name on the bottom. You can in box me. if you're interested.
This “Pocket Prayer Quilt”
Was made especially for you to slip into your pocket. Throughout the day when your fingers touch the cross that is tucked inside the quilt be mindful of God’s love and grace for you. Keep it as a tangible symbol of God’s presence as a reminder of prayers that are being said for you each day.

well, with all your talents! You sure should end up with something really great.
Empty spools & metal bobbins can be made into necklaces & even bobbin earrings. Also key chains.
Stop at Goodwill, & pick up an item that reminds you of each of your friends, & turn it into a pin cushion. I'd like some kind of frog! myself!
A pretty sachet ,sewn, knitted or crocheted.
