Need help on themed baskets!

So I was going to make my friends some themed baskets/goodie bags for xmas based on what they want to be once we all leave university next year!

So one is a writer (mostly script and loves films), the other an actress (whos mad on Disney) and the third a music lover (who could possible be the next girlfriend of Hugh Heffner!! - minus the blonde hair!)

Im really struggling for ideas for each person tho so I thought Id pass it on to you rather crafty people! Im looking at spending no more than £25 on each one too. Thanks!

    I'll get my thinking hat on but for the film lover I believe that you can buy clapper boards on ebay - perhaps you could write a message on this and add into that hamper

    Writer: notebook, nice pen, clapperboard, good coffee, a couple of DVDs (for scriptwriting I'd recommend Adaptation and Sideways, or if comedy's more the person's style then that film where Emma Thompson's writing the guy's life) and a lighter to burn rejection letters.

    The music lover ... I always buy my musical friend sheet music or music-lined exercise books. Packs of guitar strings?

    Make one with film trivia - one piece of trivia for every day of the year, and one with Disney trivia.
