Present ideas for good friends

We exchange a joint gift with a couple who are our closest friends. They live close by and we see them frequently (-ish in between, kids, work, parents etc.). We usually get a joint present but am really stuck for ideas this year. We've done food hampers, delivery meal kits, nice wines, etc. Does anyone have a good idea?

Biscuit Baron

Musical and wrapped box, containing christmas biscuits from around the world, a magazine about them and taste test card! It's not a subscription, you can just order the one-off christmas box.

Boxes!

Cheese making kit on offer ATM on Amazon for £23.99 instead of £29.99

If they also have youngish kids, maybe the most appreciated gift might simply be a firm booked-in date of having the children stay with you for an entire weekend (giving the parents the sheer luxury of peace and quiet, long lie-ins, choosing what they do and when to do so, an evening out and uninterrupted getting ready for that, no babysitter cost...etc. etc.!)

If no kids (or self-sufficient teens):

A double National Art Pass card for 800+ UK galleries/exhibitions/museums?

Depends on your budget, though, as £82.50!

Much more affordable are these really unusual handmade chocolates? They're more like miniature works of art and very indulgent.

Thank you! Some great ideas.

I love the Art Pass idea, but not a great selection of venues for us in the North West as most are already free, so the only benefit is special exhibitions and I'm not sure it's worth it. I am, however, keeping that for BIL and his art teacher partner as they live in London and have the time to make good use of it - thanks you @KaftanKate !
