What can I give my friends that's not just mince pies?

A few friends are dropping in for a glass of wine and a mince pie but I feel like I ought to give them a little bit more than that. What else would be nice? Pre-made party food feels a bit thoughtless but I haven't got loads of time - I'm making the mince pies though. They will have eaten beforehand.

Something savoury? Sausage roll? Cheese?

A grazing platter is perfect. Looks really impressive but you can buy everything premade. Keep it veggie or add meat if no vegetarians. 2/3 cheeses, grapes, apples, cherry tomatoes, crackers, pickles and chutney on the side. Some crisps and nuts can be added in.

Get some pre made puff pastry. Roll it out to baking tray size, add lots of pesto. Then chop up and chuck on anything likely looking in the fridge. Pepper, mushrooms, courgette, bit of ham, whatever. Add a bit of cheese if you like.
Bake it til the pastry looks done.
Slice up into bits for guests, make sure to stash some in the fridge for easy lunch tomorrow.

Cheese, cracker, chutney.
