Wow dats a toughie. I feel going too big isnt going to cut it. Maybe make a personalised card or something nd finish it off with a nice handwritten note? You can put together a small gift hamper wid Christmas candles, chocolates nd an advent calendar, perhaps. For someone who has everything, maybe less is more. Hope dis helps

If you click the link in my post, it leads to the UNICEF catalogue.
Their "inspired gifts" gives you choices of donating on behalf of the gift recipient. With options such as providing clean water, medicines and school materials, for children in some of the world's most war ravaged and famine stricken nations, that get the chance to actually save a child's life.
They also have a wonderful selection of 100% ethically produced, often hand crafted traditional crafts, which provide opportunities for these people to earn a living, rather than just depending on charitable aid.
In case you missed it, here's another chance to take a look:
In my next post, I linked to the catalogue from a charity which I find, many family and friends really love.
It's called "The Brooke" and you may have seen their appeals from time to time on TV. By equipping people with skills such as saddlery, nutrition, tools for a farrier and access to vetinery care, the lives of working horses and donkeys, will be longer and happier.
These people depend on their working animals to make a living, so in improving their care, dependence on external assistance is avoided.
Here's an example for you to see:
Both of these fantastic charities, not only offer the opportunity to be a real life life saver, they'll send a card (detailing the nature of the gift with thanks from those being helped)too.
Now isn't that more like the genuine Christmas spirit of peace and goodwill to all men?
