Idea for whole family Xmas pressie (no kids)

I have family who live quite far who we won't be seeing this Xmas, instead of buying individual presents (as none of them really 'want anything' I was thinking to buy a group present. I was thinking perhaps a board game and posh chocolates however speaking to my brother he has already had the same idea and brought this (great minds eh!?) it's for all adults no children. I was thinking perhaps a hamper type thing but aware they will probably already have lots of food and drink treats in for the Xmas period already. Can anyone suggest any other ideas as I'm really stumped and I don't want to get nothing at all but at the same time don't want to waste loads buying them stuff they won't want plus I would have to post it all so lots of individual presents are a lot harder!

Just agree no gifts. Much simpler

A couple are not doing gifts - however aunty has just sent £100 on a payg credit card and I know my Nan is sending money too and also a small token gift for the kids to open, I would feel bad not sending anything at all!

There's an Escape Room type board game, that would be different enough from any other 'proper' board games that your brother might have bought.

Nice cheese board otherwise?

A really nice coffee table book on a subject that that they're all interested in - travel, nature, art?

Flowers/ plants? You can get table arrangements or plant arrangements for outside. Alternatively something that flowers later in the year such as amaryllis bulbs to lighten up the gloom of January/ February.

Vouchers for a local restaurant, or attraction.
Coffee/tea/recipe ingredients/chocolate/wine subscription. Loads of this sort of thing available.
A lemon or lime bush if they have a conservatory.
Bird table or bird bath if they have a garden.
