I had an uncle that would donate to an organization in our name every year for Christmas, and the org he chose happened to be one that I didn't support due to several of its aims clashing with my religious beliefs. I was like, "Dude, just don't put my name on it and don't get me a present. Really."
My family LOVES receiving Christmas ornaments and they are some of the more sentimental gifts that we exchange over the holidays, so I think that's a great idea.
