If a gift is appropriate for the occasion, e.g., celebration of a milestone event, another great option is a donation to a beloved charity in their name.

YES ! I wouldn't have minded that, either (though it's a bit tired these days, as everyone on Facebook has a 'birthday' fundraiser for every single birthday, not just milestones). One of my favorite charities I support is "God's Love We Deliver" (became aware of them via Joan Rivers and the work she did for them). It would've been nice if they did donate to them.
