chocolate baskets

What are some good ideas for holiday gift baskets?
I want to keep the cost minimal, since I am making around 8 of these for various people...
Ideas I already plan to include -
Homemade Apple Butter
Mugs w/ cocoa mix/tea/coffee (One of the local dollar stores had really cute mugs ^_^)
Chocolate-coated Coffee Spoons
Candy canes made to look like reindeer
Holiday Cookies/a loaf of a sweet bread such as pumpkin or banana
I am pretty handy in the kitchen, but not as gifted with sewing/knitting crafts. Any other ideas would be appreicated! Thanks!
Look for recipe for gift jars. Make nice basket with a couple of jarred mixes with instructions, a couple of cute potholders and some wooden spoons and maybe a silicon spatula.
I've done baskets with nice teas, homemade cocoa mix, homemade biscotti and a couple of cute mugs from the dollar store.

7 Terrific Valentine Chocolate Gift Ideas for Her
Nothing melts a chocolate lover's heart like a valentines chocolate gift. You'll be surprised at how easy it is to create your own unique gift that will show her how much you love her on Valentine's Day. Here are valentine chocolate gift ideas for the chocolate lover in your life.
Chocolate Kisses
You really should give her more than the old standby, but if you insist, at least be creative on how you give them to her. There are many different ways you can use kisses without coming across cheap. You can create your own red or pink gift box and pack the inside with kisses with a love letter. Another thing you can do is make a path of chocolate kisses that leads to another gift like a bouquet of red roses.
Chocolate Heart Box
Either create your own heart-shaped box or look for a nice fancy one and fill it with gourmet chocolates and truffles. You can buy candy boxes in the shape of a heart but leave the candy out and replace it with gourmet chocolates. You could even put chocolate kisses inside.
Valentines Chocolate Card
Visit a specialty candy shop, or confectionery store, and have them create a card made entirely out of chocolate. This is a unique valentines chocolate gift she'll be sure to remember.
Bouquet of Chocolate Roses
Sure red roses are nice, but why not try something totally different? Why not give her a bouquet of chocolate roses instead? Better yet, combine the two and create a bouquet of real roses mixed with chocolate roses.
Chocolate Basket
Create a gift basket that is filled with her favorite chocolates, or surprise her and include chocolates she's never tried before. You can also include chocolate covered pretzels or strawberries and top it off with an arrangement of chocolate roses. A romantic music cd and a bottle of wine is a nice touch. The possibilities are endless. Be creative!
Chocolate Fountain
Put the fondue maker back in the closet and instead bring out the latest chocolate craze - the chocolate fountain. Imagine her coming home to a flowing fountain of chocolate with red roses surrounding it with romantic music playing in the background.
Chocolate Tour
Take her to a local chocolate factory or if you want to go all out, take her on a weekend getaway to Hershey, Pennsylvania! That would be the ultimate valentine chocolate gift!
Valentine's Day doesn't always have to be about roses and jewelry. She'll appreciate a heart-felt gift you created for her more than anything. These valentine chocolate gift ideas should help you get your creative juices flowing so that you can create a romantic gift for her that she'll never forget!
