Not age appropriate but something they can save for the future. When they become all lady like. Guess you better not send M with me to the concert. I wouldn't want to corrupt her into being a lifelong tomboy ;)

(I was pretty techno-punk back then, so she thought that would be something I'd want). I was really kind of disappointed, as was she- the skirt cost triple what the vacuum would have.

My FIL once gave me as a gift (early in Susan and my relationship), a hand-painted ceramic figure of an owl with a graduation cap and gown. It obviously had been around a while and had a chip in it. He kept a straight face, so I felt it prudent to act pleased with my gift.

I did get even with him a few years later (I am lucky to have a cool FIL).

I once received a coconut and a thing of pirate band-aids.

...oh wait, that was on purpose ;)

"Sugar tongs".
Sounds like a term of endearment.

"Come here, Sugar Tongs. Give me a hug."
:D

I am of the opinion that it's always better to solve things from the inside out. The box thing is a very outside in solution, it may help you feel better on a superficial level, but you still aren't addressing the real problem, which is your hangup about not feeling "good enough" with xmas. JMO.
