Gifts, Baskets and Ideas

what are some great homemade christmas gift basket ideas that are very budget friendly?

I want to make up gift baskets as family gifts for my mom and dad, sister and her husband, brother in law and his wife etc. because we are on a tight budget this year. I want to start soon too cause I am pregnant and due on Dec 17th. I have some ideas; framed photos, homemade christmas ornaments from the kids, chocolate, cookies, but need more to fill them. Please let me know your ideas. I am also wanting good ideas of what to put the goodies in besides baskets because baskets are fairly expensive.

1. I recommend doing a theme (every year) You could do a wine and cheese basket (with corkscrew and nice napkins) then another year do cookies and candy, (all home made or gourmet) then another year do a bath basket with personnalized embrodered robe and bath back brush and soap etc. just spread it out - good luck
2. You can go to Michael's (craft store) to get the material to make the baskets, I don't think they are very expensive either that or Walmart. If the baskets are for older people you could put cookbooks in them or candles, crayons and coloring books for little kids, maybe some sort of lotion Sorry couldn't think of anything else :)
