Suspiria Doll: For the prizes, you could get gift cards or go to Wal-mart because they sell cute little items like hot cocoa sets, etc. I would definately include some gift cards in there though, since the group is diverse.
The food seems good, I would maybe make some creative cookies or cupcakes with christmas decor on it. Or that may be something you all could do together? It could be really fun!

Abby S: You can?t go wrong with these. Great for guy or gal.
These are very cute and inexpensive (and useful) and I always use these when I want to give a gift without spending a lot of money but also not looking cheap.
I have given these to co-workers; to friends and every year use them as stocking stuffers or for Secret Santa. They are always a big hit and people seem to love them and ask where I got them.

They also have a great sale going on
I hope this helps.
