frugal Christmas gift ideas? (aussie.zone)

I have a few people to buy for this year and once again thinking how to do this frugally and sustainability (I get a bit sick when I see mountains of plastic crap in the shops). Any ideas?

Some things I have done in the past:

Little plant cuttings in jars (got some on the go again this year)
Op shops and second hand gifts - look for unusual things from the op shop. This works well for some but not unless they are a bit quirky themselves
Buying a bunch of treats/snacks and doing my own hampers up.
Baked goods - I always make a big batch of spice cookies and a couple of slices. I am crappy at packing them nicely tho, but I can cook.

I am not great at crafts but I will try anything!

I cook, by default. These are some great options I haven't done before. I'd love to make terrariums but I fear I would be too impatient!
