One of my favorite ideas for a Christmas or Holiday gift gift baskest is to use a basket filled with items for "the morning after". It makes a nice gift for those people with children who may want to have a nice breakfast Christmas morning but also want to be able to spend time with each other or with the children rather than in the kitchen.

I usually include:

1 jar of homemade jam
1 jar of homemade fruit butter
1 jar of homemade flavored cream cheese
1 jar of specialty fruit or maple syrup
A batch of homemade muffins
A loaf of homemade quick bread
A batch or two of homemade or commercial drink mixes (cocoa, coffe, tea)
A bag of homemade pancake mix
Some homemade cookies

I also like throwing in a few antique silver spoons and spreaders. Adding tea towels, china, and other knick knacks is nice as well. It is also a great idea to include the recipes for all of the homemade items. Enjoy!
