Gifts for extra guests on Christmas day

Ds and I always go to my Mum's for Christmas. There are often a few extra guests and this year my sister's pil will be there aswell as 2 of mum's friends (married couple).

My sisters and I have gone shares on presents for Mum's friends and I have got wine and home-made gingerbread for sister's pil.

We always have table presents to open at lunchtime. I usually do a photo-type gift of ds (last year was a coaster with ds' photo on it). I'm stuck for ideas for the pil because I don't think they'd want a calendar with my ds' face on it!!

Any suggestions? Has to be very cheap and easily obtained!

I got some nice china mugs in a tin from John Lewis for our 'whoever we forgot' presents

Food gifts are also good - if no-one needs an extra, you can scoff the lot! FiLs normally like toffee

JL mugs in a tin sound nice but there isn't one near me.

I might have a little look in town on Tues when I drag ds in to get my hair cut!!

I've already made the mil some gingerbread. Would it look a bit crap if I gave her 2 homemade food gifts? Also, my baking skills only (just about) stretch to gingerbread!!!

I have asked my sister for a photo of the il's dogs so I can print off a calendar like the others are having but will have their dogs on it instead of ds.

I always buy soem extras boxes of biscuits and selection boxes 'just incase'.
Easily scoffed by me if not required.
