I've done a Movie Night basket, a Cracker Barrel Christmas Morning basket, a Game Night basket, a cozy Christmas basket, & a 12 Days of Christmas basket. (I've done these for some families at church & also for our brothers' & sisters' families - but for our families, we've still given gifts to our nieces & nephews & the baskets were "family" gifts. If I were not also giving our nieces & nephews separate gifts, I would have included more in the baskets.)
Movie Night - Popcorn, Cokes (or pop if you're not from the South
), Blockbuster giftcard, & movie-type candy. Tag - "Have Yourselves a Merry Movie Night & a Happy Family Time!"
Cracker Barrel Christmas Morning - Pancake mix, Coffee, Hot Chocolate, Apple Butter, & Maple Syrup from Cracker Barrel w/ a Cracker Barrel Christmas ornament. Tag - "Merry Christmas Morning!"
Game Night - a family board game, a family card game, sugar cookie mix, hot chocolate. Tag - "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Game Night! Merry Christmas!"
Cozy Christmas - a Yankee candle, a Christmas throw, hot chocolate & Christmas mugs w/ a quilted Christmas ornament. Tag - "Have Yourselves a Cozy Little Christmas!"
12 Days of Christmas - I did this for our parents 1 year from our kids, & it was one of those things that I didn't know how much trouble it would be until I started trying to put it together. I wrapped everything separately & put all 12 presents in a box that I also wrapped. Each present had a number taped to it. On the front of the box, I taped a sign that said "12 Days of Christmas" w/ the instructions to open each gift starting w/ #12 & ending w/ #1. Anyway, 12 - "12 Months of Planning" (a calendar), #11 - "11 Songs for Singing" (a CD w/ exactly 11 songs - supremely hard to find!), #10 - "10 Toes a'Cozing" (wool socks), #9 - "9 Hours a'Puzzling" (a puzzle), #8 - "8 Goodies for Munching" (8 home-baked treats on a pretty plate), #7 - "7 Cups a'Sipping" (7 tea bags), #6 - "6 Pots a'Brewing" (flavored coffee), #5 - "5 Golden Kisses" (5 Hershey Kisses w/ almonds), #4 - "4 Angel Prints" (our 2 kids' handprints), #3 - "3 Yule Logs" (a sleeve of crackers, a beef log, & a cheese log), #2 - "2 _______ [our last name] (a professional photograph of our kids), #1 - "And a Partridge in a Pear Tree" (a Hallmark ornament of a partridge in a pear tree). The outside of each gift had the correct number taped it, & the gift itself had a tag w/ its "name" taped to it (e.g., the front of the calendar had a tag that said, "12 Months of Planning").
I also did the 12 Days of Christmas Basket for my daughter's kindergarten teacher from the class (I collected $ from the other parents), &, oh my gosh, it was a pain!! Fun, & her teacher loved it, but a pain to put together!
Edited to add - My mom, one Christmas, got us a "Day of Meals" gift - pancake mix, coffee, hot chocolate, dried soup mix, crackers, pasta, spaghetti sauce, cookie mix. Christmas 1999, she put together a Y2K Survival Kit - batteries, flashlights, bottles of water, duct tape, canned food, etc. - it was done kind of as a joke, but it was stuff we could use too - cute gift!
). You could put it together in a pasta cooking pot, or a large serving bowl, add the measuring tools, etc.
