Thats what I get for Christmas every year. My family and friends put 
their gift money to me together and it goes to Africa (usually Lesotho) 
to buy bees for poor families.

I do not like them wasting money on the usual Christmas odds and ends 
and feel a gift sent there in my name is far better than that.

Then of course there is always Bees for Development.

Have a long history of this sort of work.
