Today a colleague told (reminded me) that this year she told her kids to give a shalach manot to someone who doesn't expect it ( from you, or possibly from anyone else) - a nursing home resident, someone who's Jewish but isn't religious, a less popular neighbor... And not just give loads and loads to popular friends and family.
Just a thought. Happy Purim!
Well I just had a fucked up weekend abroad

Great suggestion! Nice to see emphasis placed on the true kavannah behind the mitzvah.
In one shul I used to attend, they used to make a point of asking people to give to the congregants they didn't know. It made things very warm and everyone felt special, both the giver and receiver.
Freilichen Purim!
Well, I gave one to my m-in-law :-D
