Magazine subscriptions! I know they sound hokey, but I've found they make GREAT gifts, especially if you get a magazine tailored to someone's interests. My dad really loves Consumer Reports magazine.
Crafts! There are all kinds of holiday crafts that don't look hokey and make great gifts. Go to the dollar store and buy some cheap frosted-glass ornaments, then go to the craft store and get some Mod Podge. You can decoupage the balls with all kinds of materials, you can use the Mod Podge to swirl designs in the frost. Or you can get etching solution, clear glass ornaments, and do the reverse.
I'll post some pictures next week of some cool decoupage-style ornaments I've made in the past after I snap some pictures of them around the Thanksgiving holiday. I've made a number covered in all sorts of material. It's kind of fun.
