Every year for Christmas my family draws names and gives gifts, but these gifts are different than most, because the only requirement in choosing the gift is that it can't cost any money. We have found that removing buying from gift giving increases the thoughtfulness behind the gifts. We exchange gifts on Christmas Eve, and always record the giving since many are one-time experiences.
Here are some of the things we have given over the years made by the giver and always featuring the recipient:
Funny songs
Poems
Story books
ABC book
Games such as "Who wants to be a Millionaire" with trivia questions about the recipient
Drawn Portraits
Coupons
Stories about when they were young
Photo Collages
