Christmas Gift Basket Ideas?

Hello. My sister and I are wanting to make edible christmas themed gift baskets to give to our friends/family. got any ideas??
--------------------
I got married two years ago and I got lots of themed kitchen baskets that were super cute! One was "breakfast" themed: it had a waffle iron (not necessary at Christmas, but nice for newlyweds!), syrup, pancake mix, pre-cooked bacon, a spatula, measuring cups, etc. Another was "pasta themed" it had a strainer, boxes of pasta, Parmesan cheese (the kind in the jar, not fresh!), jars of sauce. The third was "tea" themed: tea kettle, cute cups and saucers, an apron, recipes for cookies and cakes, etc. I loved these gifts! The things in them were not the most expensive or extravagant, but they stick out to me most from all my gifts! I'm doing this theme idea for my family this year. I'm making a "Mom and Daughter Day" basket for an aunt, a "College Kid Survival" basket for my sister, "Penn State" for my Uncle, "Country Christmas" for my mom...all easy stuff that I will be able to buy cheap or make! Packed in a basket with a pretty ribbon and some clear florist wrap around it? It looks like a thousand bucks and is really cost effective! (Here's a tip...look at the Salvation Army or second hand store for GREAT and cheap baskets!)
