With artwork we get them to chose a piece to use as wrapping paper when giving gifts. They can then wrap a gift in their own creation. We also have a roating wall of art displays so it will go up for a while, then when it gets taken down it is photographed and the art can be used as wrapping etc.

We also do the pre-Christmas clean out and donation thing. Recently we also had a garage sale as DD1 wants a snow holiday this year and it's expensive so she started earning some money towards it by holding a garage sale.
