What would you put in a brunch themed gift basket?

Thank you thank you! For the bigger prize basket, I put in double caramel pancake mix, Duff's chocolate dessert mix, instant grit bowls, kashi cereals,strawberry jam, spiced peach butter, bottles of sparkling water, mini-nutellas, decorative cereal bowls, girl scout cookie breakfast bars, biscotti, chocolate pretzel breakfast bars and I will add in some homemade chocolate crumb cake muffins. I have run out of room!

The door prize features moose munch caramel popcorn, coffee flavored candy bar, a glass bottle of coke, an assortment of protein bars, french tea and mini nutella.

I wouldn't treat the high school students any different than adults for the gift basket (other than omitting alcohol). I would include bacon, some really good preserves, a container of pancake/waffle mix, maybe a quick bread mix, real maple syrup.

I agree with the miniature/sampler suggestions. Whenever I'm making a food related gift basket I grab some of the "gourmet sampler" items from World Market (if you have one near you). The travel size hot sauces or hot sauce samplers are always a huge hit.

Some new tastes, some familiar, some local & some from away.
High quality butter or cream cheese, smoked salmon or good deli meat, cashew or almond butter, honey flavored by a specific flower or locale, loaf pan with a quick bread made in it and recipe so they can repeat it, a couple good cotton hand towels or large square napkins, small pepper and salt grinders or containers of, e.g., tellicherry pepper and sea salt, local fruit juice or fruit, local fresh vegetable, a jar of capers packed in salt or a local pickle.

Precut mini bagels & individual cream cheese, peanut butter & jelly containers.

Starbucks gift card!

maple syrup, cinnamon-sugar, a loaf of bread, coffee, fresh eggs & bacon! Print out some recipes and make a little booklet. Have fun at your event!

Some really good jam and premixed (dry ingredients) for scones and directions on how to finish. Then include any of the wet ingredients feasible. Include 2 pretty plates (vintage?) and a beautiful butter knife, along with some pretty napkins.
