I was thinking of Origami dollar bills. My daughter gets them as tips sometimes. She has an elephant, a bow tie and a paper airplane in her collection so far. Ask around you may know someone who knows how to do this. I'm sure directions are online somewhere. I bet youtube has it on video.

I have no idea what the cost is, but you can visit these folks and find out how to make a "fake newspaper!". You can make up stories about the people in your group, what was happening the year each was born, etc.
If you have a Craft World close, I got a replica of a $1,000,000.00 dollar bill!
I copy it for each persons birthday and tell them they are "one in a million" or worth "a million dollars" to me.
Have fun!!

How about tickets to an event, a movie, a museum, etc.? There's also posters, photos, scrapbooks, card games (like Wizard), and puzzles.

If you don't have to be "elegant, how about toilet paper and/or paper towels. I don't use paper towels all that much so I don't buy them, but every once in a while I wish I had a roll. One can ALWAYS use toilet paper. Just a thought!

Post it notes or one of those note pad cubes. How 'bout a selection of gift bags and/or wrapping paper? Bridge tallies or score sheets. A selection of cocktail napkins is always nice too.

Nobody mentioned a packet of postage stamps to use with the stationery everyone else is giving. Maybe make a little felt holder for them decorated with beads or sequins, etc.

How about 2 or 3 (or just 1, depends on your spending limit) note pads that come with a magnet so you can put it on your fridge and use for grocery lists or whatever. I love getting these myself because I go through them quick!

Paper models (like dollhouse models) are a wonderful way to show what paper can do.

Origami Christmas ornaments ! Borrow a book from the Library and get some nice paper, and go wild ! You can even make small ones and attach them to jewelry findings like french-hook earring posts.
Cover an old lampshade frame with a map or pretty paper.
With cold/flu season approaching, who can't use boxes of the good tissues?
Print and assemble custom bridge score pads for your group.
An inexpensively framed print is nice. You could probably easily find one of (wait for it) a bridge!
Personally, I love nice stationery - it makes me feel elegant to use 'the good stuff' for a note to my son's teacher! Add a nice pen for that really extravagant mood!
