Who is it for? When you give any gift, the best thing to do is to consider who it is for and their likes and dislikes--it makes it much more personal. Please come back and tell us who it is for! We can help you much better then. :-)
What are their hobbies? What do they like to do in their spare time?
For example: I gave my secret pal (who was a very good friend) a basket for her 25th Wedding Anniversary. I put in chocolate hugs and kisses, strawberries and grapes with chocolate and dipping sauce, a bottle of wine and two crystal wine glasses. It was beautiful and they said it was the most romantic and best Anniversary gift they'd ever received. :-)
At this time of year, something simple like Christmas cookies and candy probably wouldn't go wrong--especially if you give it early and they like to entertain. Then add a small personalized gift for each of them--according to their favorite hobby or pass time. (Ask your fiance he would know more.) If he can't figure anything out, for the ladies, go with candles and/or body lotion/spray in a quiet--non offensive scent like vanilla. For the guys, go with a pen, favorite snack, tie, CD, etc..
I love jalady's idea of a photo frame--but include a nice happy picture of you and your fiance. ;-)
It is sweet of you to be so thoughtful! :-)

Here are some ideas:
A Christamas CD or DVD.
A Mug with Hot Cocoa Mix in it
Candy (Candy Canes, Hershey Kisses, ect)
A Stuffed Animal ( Maybe in a Christmas outfit. :)
Some ornaments
A Christmas scented candle ( At Yankee Candles, they have different Christmas Smells.)
Maybe a gift card to someplace? Like Christmas Tree or a resturaunt?
Well, hope this helps!!!

Depends on who its for. Mom sister friend? Go with some things they like and do a theme. For ex. If your mom loves candles then go with some different types of candles. Meaning different shes and sizes or different candle holders. Make sure though all scents go together nicely. You don't want the basket to knock someone out with a bad mixture of scents. Maybe also throw in a gift card to a candle store. same with Lotions for someone else or bath beads..

That really depends on who its for...
For a couple you can make a basket with a mixture of male and female gifts shown below..
female:soaps/bubble bath/lotions etc
gardeners: small garden tools/packets of seeds..placed in a pretty flower pot
Men: tools, subscription for Men's magazine, or a men's magazine,handkerchief, men's cologne
teenage girl: hair clips, manicure set, compact mirror, movie pass
Then there are always homemade Christmas cookies, slice of Christmas cake or pudding, or mini Christmas cake...Gym pass, book certificate or other gift certificate.
A small photo frame with a photo is always a nice touch!

I made a Christmas gift basket for my mother this year. I enclosed 2 coffee mugs...4 individual packs of hot chocolate, 4 individual packs of mini marshmellows, a box of christmas cookies, some Christmas mints & a small box of chocolates....I shrink wrapped it and placed a huge bow on it...It looked super cute and I know she will love it.

it depends whos it for.
a girl you might want to put lotions and candles, makeup, bath stuff....stuff she can enjoy and make her feel special....
a boy you would probably put sports related stuff like their favorite football teams merchandise or differnent candies....
but just a regular christmas one you could do like oranments and hot chocalate, candy, small toys, different things....just have fun with it
((all of this can be really cheap just go to dollar tree and you can find basiclly all of it))
hope it helped.
