Home made foody gifts are great. Bake nice biscuits and wrap them up really nicely.
Or make some jam or jelly and put into a nice jar (maybe someone has some on JT?), put a piece of fabric over the lid and tie with a festive ribbon. Of course goes with a handmade card!
Or if you have only a plain jar you can jazz it up with some glass paint.
Or you can knit or sew something. Once I knitted a scarf for my then boyfriend. It turned out very thick and heavy at the end (it was my first ever knitting!!), so he can wear it only when he goes to the Arctic, but he liked the idea of handmade gifts.
My mum made me once a cross stitched picture and my dad framed it. It was thye best gift I ever got from them!
You can make chutneys as well.
Flavoured olive oil in nice bottles.
You can make boardgames at home from cardboard, coloured paper, corks and bits and pieces. They make a lovely present.
