I have found that for $0.39 I can have a digital picture of a volunteer group printed on a thank-you card. It also comes with an envelope for mailing. Check at your site for digital prints. The Thank You card is in the book with the Christmas cards, etc. They look really cool and get posted wherever the group is from.

I found a great website called www.weddingfavours.ca. They have all sorts of inexpensive gifts for weddings, but many of them work well for volunteers. We gave the "Love Beyond Measure" spoons to women who had volunteered at our church. They cost a few dollars each and the volunteers loved them. We were surprised how warmly they were received.
