Crochet Ideas and Christmas Cards

So of course I'm into crocheting since my hobbies are wide and varied. I don't crochet much but I'm making a blanket and I really do enjoy it. So mindless! 

I'm trying to think of Christmas ideas that can use this skill. I don't have a lot of money, so making something out of discount yarn seems pretty nice. Anyone have any experience with crocheting gifts?

ALSO regarding Xmas, who wants Xmas cards from me? I'm always down to support the postal system.
