depending on who your outside gifts are for, you might be able to go the instant gift basket/bag route.
- keep 10 gift bags on hand
- buy 10 candles from the dollar store
- buy 10 boxes of candy/chocolate bars
- make up a batch of bath salts, package 10 in baggies (depends, but $10 would make way more than you need)
- check your dollar store for relaxing CDs (dollar tree has 'em $1 each)
for $50 or less (less is likely), you have 10 homemade gift bags ready to go. if there's no need for the gift, you can save them for birthdays, use them yourself, whatever
