A few years, in my early 20's, we would do a Secret Santa type thing for some families we knew that were having a hard time. I seem to recall it being like a 12 Days of Christmas type thing. Like, the first day would be 1 box of oranges, second day would be 2 bags of cookies, 3rd day is 3 mugs with cocoa, etc tailored to the family.
We would drop off stuff on their door step, ring the doorbell and run for the bushes or the car around the corner.
Almost all the things we did were either homemade or fairly cheap. One year I won a raffle at work and got a decent toaster oven, so we dropped it off for them on the last day. It was really cool to go by a year or so later for dinner and seeing that sitting on their counter.
