Is this a good idea for Christmas gifts for my friends?

Okay so I am buying for 5 17 year old girls. I'm on a tighttt budget so I'm trying to do my best here. So I thought I should do something that's the same for everyone but different. What I had in mind was to buy an inexpensive mug for each of them [different mug for everyone], then fill it up with homemade cookies [4 each], chocolate dipped pretzel rods [3 each], 1 gingerbread man, a spoon that's dipped and drizzled in chocolate, a candy cane, a pouch of hot chocolate mix, and some candy. I want it to be like a gift basket but instead of a basket, it's a mug. Then I'm gonna wrap it in holiday cellophane wrap and tie it with these adorable Christmas ribbons I bought the other day. I don't want to come off as stingy or cheap but I don't have a lot of money. A few of my friends asked what I was getting them and I told them and they said it was cute but some of them are spending up to $25 each but I can only spend $80 between my Mom, Dad, and friends. Is it a good idea or is it too cheap? Also, how much are mugs at like the Christmas Tree Shop/Dollar Store? The ones in Target are like $10 each and I can't spend that much! Thanks in advance (:

Dollar stores have them for about a dollar each! I think it sounds like a great idea. I would love to get a gift like that. :) Go with your idea. Your friends will love it!
