Two ideas I've used so far:
A sudoku puzzle book and a nice mechanical pencil
A can of Tim Hortons coffee (for non-canadians, Tim's is like Starbuck's poor cousin)

Gift cards are ok, but I'm looking for little clever ideas. Example, my brother Richard is getting a personalized mug that says "****".

$10 is the budget I have set for all of the members in my family (except husband & kids) It's nothing to do with being cheap, between my husband and I there are several siblings & their families, 2 sets of parents/step parents (both of our parents are divorced & remarried) granparents and nieces, nephews and great-nieces we buy for. It gets expensive!
I tailor my gifts to fit the recipient and have given this year:
a scrapbook album
book about Feng Shui
Indian cuisine cookbook
italian charms
picture frames
earrings
gift baskets I made up of lotion, candle, bubble bath, spray, a pouf to wash with and some soap- (all bought at the dollar store and looks great)
sweaters & pullovers
coffee and mug set
gourmet mustards for one mustard crazy relative
stir-fry accessory set
like new woodworking books
a special ornament
a woodburning pen
toys & outfits on sale for the kids.
Your ideas are good. Just really try to think about the person and what they like. I would much rather get a $10 gift that was something I enjoyed than a $100 present I didn't care about.
Good luck on finding the perfect thing.

A nice picture frame from a department store. They're quite often on sale this time of year for $10.
Also, you can go to stores websites and look at this weeks circular and see what $20 products they have for $10.

Both of those are good.
I think some CD's go for $10.
Or lottery tickets.
A nice bottle of lotion for a woman or bath gel.
Golf balls, probably only a three pack, and some tees.
A tee shirt with a funny saying on it
Stationery
A plant
A photo album
Picture frame
stuffed animal
flashlight
I could go on and on and on. I work retail and I see lots of junk!

The inexperienced woodworker and the very experienced person will be able to do these projects without any difficulty https://tr.im/A5Gtg
Each and every one of the thousands woodworking plans and projects which are available are so well written so that even if you've never tried Woodworking before, or if you have 2 left hands, you would find woodworking a breeze

I know the perfect solution if you are just starting with woodworking and also if you have already experience with it. I reccomend to give a look to this website ( woodworkingplans.kyma.info ) You can find a lot of woodworking plans and you will be able to manage the projects with a CAD/DWG software. It allows you to modify the projects and to alter the arragements. If you are a beginner this is the easiest way to start, it's the best approach to woodworking; and if you already have experience you will find a lot of ideas and inspirations to improve your abilities with woodwork. I'm sure that you will love it!

Buy a $10 movie voucher. Everyone loves to go see a movie over the Christmas holidays!

Gift card or potpourri warmer. I don't know if you have a Dollar General but they have potpourri warmers for $5. That way you get to spend the other $5 on yourself.
