Yes, we have an Alternative Gift Market at our church with lots of options. You can buy gifts of various price points. Some are for local shelters, others are for more global causes. That's a great way to go if you don't want to clutter up someone's home.

Something we've done for elderly family members is to give them tickets to a show. That has been a hit.

And I know it sounds hokey, but I still like the idea of homemade gift certificates.
