I got handmade ornaments from my niece and nephew. Ummm, hello people, I don't have the room to store a ton of ornaments I have a 1 bedroom. AND they're not even Christmasy. They're flowered shrinky dinks, with a ribbon on top.
I would have rather spent the afternoon helping them make ornaments for other people, instead of getting one. The other gift my sister to her secret santa was a donation to Katrina relief.
Don't get me wrong, I donated money myself, but I think giving a donation as a "gift" is cheesy - unless someone asked for it. It reminds me of the episode of Seinfeld where George made donations to the "human fund".
