Brunch
This is a library gap! Photos could be of food and drinks, indoors or outdoors that are associated with brunch, or for example a table setting.
Maybe you live with multiple people/family and could ask other people to sit at a table, and then you shoot from above a photo of their hands in the shot (holding utensils, passing something. If you could get hands in the photo it really makes the scene more authentic.

Get creative with double exposures! You might like to try in-camera double or multiple exposures if your digital or film camera offers the function. alternatively you could use a program like Photoshop to create a subtle double exposure using your own images.
