How about edible treats?
Speaking for myself - about the only things I need right now are sewing machine needles. I can't even think of anything to suggest for myself if someone asked. I'm trying to cut down on my clutter - and - for me - a lot of those things are in the category of clutter. (Sorry - don't mean to sound like a rain on your parade person - but after 50 years of accumulating - it is now time for me to start paring down on "stuff." Or at least, not accumulate much more!)

Here are a couple of cloth bowls I made and a tin someone made for me. The cloth bowls were made using scraps, cut at 1.25 inches wide and adding more scrap strips as I used them up. Wrap the scraps around fabric clothesline cording and zigzag the wrapped cords together, when you want to make a round edge to make sides, just hold up the bottom piece you have already zigzagged together - perpendicular to your sewing machine - so your fabric wrapped cord will go under the sewing foot and the curve will automatically happen as you sew along to make this curve.

One of my go to food gifts is Snowflake Truffles. They're really easy to make and I usually put them in little boxes or treat bags to give as gifts. You can find the recipe here.....
