I think all the ideas you've mentioned are good - I do like the Dr. Seuss idea as well; that'll be something that will make them think about their futures. Unfortunately, it's been a looooonnnnng time since I've been that age, but what about something like a journal/diary? Or maybe something that they can start their own scrapbooks? Now scrapbooking itself can be expensive, but a book to put pics in, maybe something like a "memories" book.
