Need new gift ideas

I'll be visiting PA to see my friends and family in just a couple of weeks.
For my three main girl friends I'll be seeing, I want to make them cosmetic bags and fill each with nifty crafted gifts. I'll probably make a friendship bracelet for each of them, but would like other ideas.

Two of the girls are just a little older than I am (they're also twins), and they like punk and goth things. I have made them both jewelry and hair clips from rubber bats and plastic skeleton hands, so I need some new neat ideas.

The other girl is about four years younger than I am and she isn't really into goth or punk stuff at all. I haven't seen her in a few years so I kinda need some general gifts that a 19 year old would like. There's a sub-21 club that she goes to from time to time, and I know she does like handmade crafts.

I do need the items I make to fit into small cosmetic bags so they will fit in my luggage without taking up a lot of space.

Any ideas?

how about personalised dottee (or similar sized) dolls, they could be made to their likeness.
Personalised soaps may be good too?

Good ideas! I think the twins would get a kick out of dottees as they like to keep little things like that in their cars.

You could make lavender sachets, rice bags (that you can heat up or cool down to put on aches and pains) or eye masks to put in the bags. You could make them in fabrics that match each of their personal styles.
