You could give the gift of kindness to folks you don't even know:

honeybees
a goat
and maybe even a share in a water buffalo.

Heifer International: www.heifer.org

I do this every year, for those who don't want more stuff, which is
most
of my friends.
We don't give gifts to anyone outside the immediate family, but my kids
and grandkids always get a heifer project "gift" in addition to their
other gifts. We figure it's good for them to learn that Christmas isn't
only about their toys, etc. The last few years, we've given them the
catalog and let them pick out their own gifts. I have also given them
honeybees for Valentine's Day and rabbits and chicks for Easter --
occasions when I don't give other gifts.

Yes, that's what I mean. But the grandkids don't get the actual bees (or
rabbits or chicks). The critters go to someone, usually in a third world
country, where they are used to produce income for needy families.
