For friends, I tend to give edible things (because I love to eat, so I assume others do too). I either bake something myself, or I find some nice treats to give. Always much appreciated and a personal gift and much nicer than getting something that you don't really need and don't know where to put. This year, I've given all my friends home made gingerbread cookies. Last year I made truffles. Also in the past year, I've given gift certificates to a few friends for a massage. One for a friend who came to help me in the field for a week. After lots of hard hiking in mountains, a good massage was much appreciated.
I suggest finding out what people like. For that chocaholic, give some nice truffles or some special chocolate. For that carnivore, give a selection of cured meats. For that cheese fanatic, give a selection of local cheeses. Or find a nice bottle of wine and a nice cheese to go with it.
