Another thought on charitable donations

Piggy-backing off of Lumberjim's thread (didn't want to derail), what is your opinion about giving to an organization in someone else's name as a gift?
I gave to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital last year in my brother's name as a Christmas gift for him. He reacted positively but I'm hesitant about doing it again this year. Don't want to seem like a copout in place of getting him something thoughtful ya know.

/edit: I had never done this before, not sure if I want to do it again hence the poll.
