How about a basket with things that recipes frequently call for (gourmet cooking ingredients), but one may not want to buy?
Extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt, peppercorns and a pepper grinder/mill,
Or special ingredients for Holiday baking - chocolate chips, coconut, nuts, cinnamon, recipe book -

Add the movie, Hocus Pocus, with Bette Midler! Halloween basket is a great idea. We do this at our church every fall and it is difficult to come up with a theme. I saw an idea where they used a small sled and filled it with snow related items such as hot chocolate (you could put a cider mix in your basket!), small fleece blanket, ice scraper, etc....

Go to a gift store andlook around, once you start looking, you'll see a few items.
Maybe some general greeting cards with a music note, or birds singcing.
I think you can make some kitchen napkins out of the music fabric too,
hope this helps.
