Snack Baskets for Teens/Tweens/Husband/8 mo Old

Didn't know who to ask this question to, so I'm just throwing it out there.
Every year for Christmas, one of the gifts we get our kids (my stepkids) is a basket filled with snack type treats that they can have for just themselves in addition to the normal stuff I buy for the whole house. I do this for my stepdaughter who is 11, stepson who is 16, my husband and myself, and this year my daughter who is 8 months will get one as well. Well I've recently started eating clean as well as trying to clean up our family's eating, i.e. cutting out processed foods, sugar, fast food, sodas, etc. and I'm driving myself crazy trying to think of foods that they will love, that are still in line with how we are now eating. I don't want them to feel like things are off limits, I am just trying to teach them that certain foods should be treated as once in awhile treats, rather than every day snacks.
So if anyone has any suggestions or tips on good tasting, healthy snacks that teens/tweens and a sugar loving husband would enjoy, I would love some help! Also, my 8 month old is starting to eat finger foods, so I am thinking of putting in her basket some homemade teething biscuits and fruit cups (packed in their own juices). Any mom's have some recipes or ideas on good finger foods for babies?
Thanks!!!
