When I was a kid, I had a pretty good regular Microscope, and use to look at everything I could with it. Bugs, Dirt, Plankton in the local beach water.

Popcorn Bucket GiftAttachment:

I would get a Movie or Movie Rental Coupons, Candy, Hot chocolate packs and other stuff for a family movie at home night out and put it in a Bucket, then wrap it in clear plastic.
I have been doing this for years, and when I looked up a picture for Popcorn Bucket, I found this link, doing the same thing.

Jelly BeansIt has been a few years since I did this, but, I sometimes get some kind of resealable Jars(Like Canning Jars with the clamp top.) or Tupperware.
I then put together a candy Mix of my favorites. My personal Mix was Banana and Orange Cream Jelly Beans. A Local Candy Store woud order them for me in 5 pound bags and I could pack the containers myself. Wrap and add a bow, and Ta-Daa! It was enough to make several gift sets.

The last 2 are more for casual gifts.
Post your ideas.
