Tough call. I would just as soon the family didnt buy me gifts. One year I sent a list of charities I want donations sent to. Kinda works kinda didnt.

Gift cards can be lame but one for a rub and sauce place, a local BBQ shop you frequent, for the smoker brand you have.

Grill Grates for your gasser.

I am not a huge Christmas fan, which goes over like noro virus around here. I'll be following.

Spend the money on a trip... somewhere you both want to go but haven't. Know any needy families that could use a little help... sometimes brightening someone's day is way more meaningful that any object.

I like this idea. Might use it myself for "our" Christmas gift.

I can vouch for the good it does your soul.
My time volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House was incredible.
Sharing a blessing from this forum with a now departed friend, made both our families Christmas so much better.
Giving an old but very serviceable car to a family without one, truly special.
Handing out hot food to homeless, their gratitude was heartwarming.

I have been trying to eliminate Xmas gifts in our house for a few years. We need/want, we just buy it.

This is what the wife and I do, we do it for anything we would buy each other a gift for, We're at a point in our lives if we want something we get it...within reason.

Me and the wife contact our local PD, they set us up with a family in need, buy some small gifts for all, cook a full meal that will feed most for a week, its all no contact between us and them, the officer picks up and delivers. The thank you notes these families get to us via the PD are hart warming to say the least.
