For my younger daughter, we started requesting restaurant gift cards to be donated. We gave them to the local Ronald McDonald house because she had a friend who was away from home, undergoing treatment at a special hospital in Minnesota. Her friend's parents had stayed in the Ronald McDonald house local to that hospital. I'll admit that the circumstances were quite special but it seemed like a relief from the burden of all those toys we would have had instead.
