The lazy part of my (quite a large part..) just gets a bottle of wine for some distant cousin every year. Without getting into the whys and wherefores of present buying has anyone got any good ideas for someone I don't really know for about a tenner rather than a bottle of plonk again?!

Any better generic Christmas presents than a bottle of wine?

Chocolate:
[ethical suggestion]
Or send them a charity Xmas card with a 'standard' blurb in the bottom saying you're not doing presents this year, but donating 50% of what you may have spent to charity
[/ethical suggestion][unethical suggestion]
either do it for real or dont (will they know the difference)
[/unethical suggestion]EDIT: just realised my suggestion does kind of assume the gift giving is by post

This is why I don't do Christmas, because of this obligation to buy presents for people you hardly know and frankly don't give a stuff about. However, acknowledging that lots of people are in that situation, may I suggest one of those sponsor a dog/donkey/duck/child things. Your obligation is fulfilled, their expectation is met and, somewhere, a donkey gets a pat on the head. Everyone's a winner!

Nice socks, maybe merino ones. Nothing festive and silly, just good quality socks.

What about the obligation to buy for in-laws you pathologically hate for fear of upsetting your brother?
