Here are some things I've done or plan to do in case they fit your situation:
DSIL likes to cook, so I bought a pre-made apron and appliqued a character (male) flipping a pancake with a black dog (they have a black dog) trying to get the pancake. I've made aprons for both DDs, also.
I've made the simple coasters in holiday fabrics that recipients seem to enjoy (and DH loves them).
This year I'm making tortilla cozies which I've posted a picture of and link to instructions. May give them with recipes/indgredients, etc. for Mexican food (basket-style).
I recently posted a tutorial for using fabric to make greeting cards . . . I'm thinking of giving a set of greeting cards as a gift.
I've knit scarves, afghans, cowls, socks, etc. as gifts.
Shopping bags or any other kind of bag seems to be popular right now.
Casserole cozies to take to potlucks would also be nice.
This year, I think I'll can some tomatoes for DD.
Luggage tags.
DD makes some really cute slippers. I'll post a picture . . .
Fleece hats, scarves.
Fabric-trimmed dish towels with matching potholders
Christmas tree skirt
Advent calendars

That's al for now, I think . . . Looking forward to seeing other ideas.
