I know it's a bit early to be thinking about Christmas, but this way if you think that family and friends would be interested in doing this or something like it, it gives everyone time to pass it on. I think it's super cool.
For all of the adults this Christmas we are buying an animal in their name. The animal/animals you buy go to families that depend on them for their survival. Heifer International. If you're like me and don't know what to get the adults in your family for Christmas this is perfect. We don't need more stuff, and most of the time we don't know what everyone wants anyway. It's not any fun to give a gift and wonder if the person will like it or use it. The girls will pick out what animal/animals they want to buy and send a card to each adult that tells them what animal they chose for each of them. No trying to guess what to get everyone, no wrapping paper and no waiting in line at the post office involved.
Everyone gets the perfect gift.
You guys have a great day.
There are several other organizations that do this and all of them are great. Last Christmas Christine bought her teacher a gift in his name for a child that included a book bag, shoes, and school supplies. He thought it was the coolest thing. He said that he and his wife were going to do this next year for the adults in their family. Here is a website that has many other organizations to choose from.

Heifer.org is an organization that supplies animals and training to families in need. You purchase the animal / animals of your choice and the families receive the necessary training to raise them on their own.
Your gift recipients will love hearing about how the gift you have made in their honor is helping families around the world. You can print a card from their site to send to each person or you can e-mail a card to them.
