Instead of buying gifts for Repub family members, donate in their name
to a liberal website like DU. This will not only piss them off, but it will help fund some of the great work places like DU and Buzzflash are doing. Give your relatives a little card that says,

IN YOUR HONOR, A DONATION WAS MADE TO A WEBSITE THAT ACTUALLY TELLS THE TRUTH AND STANDS FOR AMERICAN VALUES.

or something like that...

Hey, my repub family members don't deserve anything but a good, swift kick in their collective ignorant asses.

Perhaps then my Republican relatives will start making donations to Free Republic in my name.

4. ACLU is a good one to donate to, we need them
They send out thank you notes and other stuff, thus making sure they are frequently reminded of the gift in their name.
