You can make her bath stuff. Like a sugar scrub or salt scrub. That's what my kids and I did this year. There are so many different recipes out there. You can use regular white sugar/ raw sugar or brown sugar. The only thing that will be 'expensive' in the ingredients is the oil (you cannot use vegetable or castrol oil... not sure about olive oil) and Essential oil. The oil you need to use is sunflower oil/avocado oil/ almond oil/ grapeseed oil etc... a small bottle of this is around $4(you will not need all of it), the essential oil is a little bit more.. depending on the essential oil you decide it can be anywhere from $3-$16. You will be able to find these at a health food store. Here are a few different recipes

tons more out there if you google it
The essential oils I would recommend lemon grass, sweet orange, lavender, peppermint, which are all under $7, when buying the store brand. Good luck!!!
Here are the ones my kids and I made http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=30154&id=1320365094&saved#!/photo.php?pid=1312707&id=1320365094
The little jars we got from Joann Fabrics for $1 (they would look cute in a set of three if you can't find big ones) and we got the big jars for $2 at Old Time Pottery. Or you can use an empty glass container, like a pickle jar or spaghetti sauce or mason jar
Our recipe was 2 cups(per big jar) plain white sugar, some apricot oil (until we got the consistency we wanted) a little bit of aloe(not necessary), couple squirts of honey and lemon grass essential oil

Make a pot of flower with paper clay is a budget choice
