Different token gifts

Neighbours and a few family friends always hand in a token family gift at Christmas.
I'm trying to think of something different for this year, we have done the box of chocolates/biscuits, the bottle of Prosecco etc. They are very generous with our dc (they get them something separate).
One set of neighbours is child free,early 60s other set is late 40s, children late teens.
So what is your token gift go to, max £20?

House plant, ideally from a local place rather than supermarket etc

Locally made chocolates/fudge/cheese/whatever

Big tub of homemade gingerbread biscuits with holes/ribbons - that way they can eat them or just hang them on the tree

Homemade fudge/florentines

Lovely Christmas decorations are my go to token gift - you can spend a little or a lot!

I bake cakes for the neighbours who drop round boxes of biscuits/chocolates/wine just beause I enjoy baking and I'm better at baking than shopping. I put them in cake boxes and tie them with a tartan ribbon. Nobody has ever complained so must be acceptable.

I bought some mini (peppermint) Reed diffusers from Oxfam this year for token gifts.

A mini Christmassy food hamper maybe - dates (Medjool are my favourite, so much nicer than the ones squished together in a cardboard packet with a plastic prong thing), a Panettone, bottle of wine/ginger soft drink?

Or, a nice selection of cheeses?
