Edible Christmas presents?

So, in the hopes of saving money this year, I'm going the homemade route with my family. In addition to crocheting and basket weaving, I'm planning to do some food-based gifts. What are some of your favorite foodie gifts to give?

Ideas:
* Canning jams and jellies. Ron had a nice post on this a while back, and I'm looking for tips and tricks online.
* DIY brownies in a jar, etc. I bought a book of stuff in a jar recipes a while back, and I'll probably try to adapt some of my own if I have time.
* Goodie baskets. This is a yearly tradition for me now -- everyone gets a basket filled with some of my favorite baked goods.

Any other ideas?

Along the good route: Breakfast in a box/basket. You can put in muffin/pancake mix, syrup, tea, etc...

If you're looking for less than home-made, World Markets have a good stock of odd-ball stuff you don't run across in the average grocery.

That's a really good idea -- thanks! And yeah, I'm a huge fan of World Market -- but I always spend too much money when I go!
