Ideas for a family gift basket?

I'm not spending much on Christmas this year, and I'd like to make a gift basket for my siblings and their families. They're all 30ish with kids. I'm pretty artsy and I can cook or bake. I'm looking for ideas of things that are inexpensive and can be appreciated by the parents and the kids. I have some homemade jelly, and I'll probably put in a movie, some popcorn.....I don't know what else! Can anyone offer suggestions?
--------------------
You're off to a great start. Include some sweets for the kids and some sugarfree sweets for the grown ups. Bake breads such as pumpkin or banana (traditional faves). Include a small figurine (often found at dollar stores) that say Love or Family or something along those lines. A few years ago a friend included a silver figurine that spelled LOVE. Every year I take it out as part of the Xmas decorations. You can also make or purchase inexpensive ornaments and use a paint pen/marker to personalize an ornament for their tree. Kids love personalized items.
