My family was doing the money shuffle as well. This year when people asked me what I wanted (to which the normal response is a dressed-up version of "I don't know; I buy what I need when I need it."), I pointed them at Child's Play, and asked them to pick a hospital and buy something.
I don't know that it'll actually catch on in my family, but I think it has a better chance of working than suggesting we stop buying gifts altogether.
I figure that now that the kids are all grown, none of the families particularly want anything, but everyone still feels obligated to give. People will insist on buying something, because otherwise "it won't feel like Christmas". So we might as well direct the giving at people who can really appreciate it, instead of swapping gift cards.

"If you throw a New Year's Party, the worst thing that you can do would be to throw the kind of party where your guests wake up today, and call you to say they had a nice time. Now you'll be be expected to throw another party next year.
What you should do is throw the kind of party where your guest wake up several days from now and call their lawyers to find out if they've been indicted for anything. You want your guests to be so anxious to avoid a recurrence of your party that they immediately start planning parties of their own, a year in advance, just to prevent you from having another one ...
If your party is successful, the police will knock on your door, unless your party is very successful in which case they will lob tear gas through your living room window. As host, your job is to make sure that they don't arrest anybody. Or if they're dead set on arresting someone, your job is to make sure it isn't you..."
