Desperately need ideas for my girls for Christmas

We have very little expendable cash and my daughters have everything. They are 4 and 19 months right now. They have musical instruments, a dollhouse and play kitchen/food, bikes, rollerskates, a scooter, a wagon, a ride in corvette. They have a bunch of games and dolls...etc. I don't want a leap pad or anything like that because they play with my ipad and iphone. They don't need anymore screen time stuff. Help!

For the kids who have everything:

New CRAFT(s)
Try oriental trading or a cheapie store.
Get a bin.
Put the crafts in a bin.
It will minimize screen time & not cost much.
They will use it for MONTHS.
If they don't have, get a small table with 2 chairs (even second hand is good).
It fits under the tree :)

Desperately need ideas for my girls for Christmas

So far I've gotten my 18 month old a M&D sticker book and paint with water book, and magnetic dress up bear set, an alphabet magnet set, and TRU had mr. potato head for 3.99 a few weeks ago. I think only one thing so far has been over $5. I'll probably get her a new pair of sneakers if she doesn't need new ones before xmas. So far I've gotten most things at homegoods and ac moore.

ETA- If you're crafty, maybe you could try making some things. My sister just got an apron and fabric paint and personalized it for DD. It cost under $5 and she loves it. I remember one year my mom making a bunch of decorations for my room and I loved them.

My girls have everything. They love to watch me bake/cook so I am thinking:

One more! What about a sled? Size wise they have the wow factor but they can be pretty inexpensive.
