gift for adoption party?

We asked our children what they wanted from mommy and daddy as a "family gift" for our dd's adoption and they chose a trampoline. When people called to ask what dd might like, we explained their request. We did NOT call guests soliciting donations; we told maybe 5-6 people and they told people....you know how that goes. Our daughter ended up with a few cards, some toys, a beautiful poem on a plaque (for mommy), and a locket. Many others donated $5-$10 for the trampoline fund. In the end they got the trampoline and with it ended up costing us very little. Our dd got a few gifts for her special day, and my son feel included as the trampoline was a "family" gift. We also had dd choose a special notebook for the party and had each of the guests write something, one page for each person. Some were simple and some brought tears to my eyes when I read them. It is a wonderful keepsake of the day.
