Cheap Food Gift Baskets

What are some cute ideas for homemade (edible) Christmas gifts?

I plan on making hampers for peoples’ Christmas gifts this year (I am not cheap, lol, I just think gifts mean more if they’re homemade, and by the time I’ve bought all of the baskets, ingredients, and crafty stuff to make it look cute, then I’d have spent about the same amount of money that I’d have spent on gifts normally :]) so I need so ideas for what to put in them. Ideas that I already have are:

Shortbread cookies aren’t that sweet–but they are good!

A bag or a jar of dried fruit, trail mix or Chex mix is always good. All three can be homemade, too. The recipe for Chex mix can be found on the side of the box.

A jar of loose tea or coffee or a box of teabags is also good.
