This is our solution for giftees who already have plenty of stuff. Consumables, such as foods or show tickets, means there won't be any lingering clutter.
I hadn't thought of it that way but this describes the majority of my gifts- Christmas and otherwise. Every year I give DS and DDIL a Costco Executive Club membership. I've mentioned the Sugar Plum Fairy Ball; I also take the 2 older kids on "outings" including taking the 5-year old to Chicago a couple of times this year. When I travel on my own I try to bring them local foods (plantain chips from Mexico, macadamia nuts from Hawaii). Very little impacts on landfills.
