I have a friend, who is widowed, who wraps up her unfinished projects and opens them at Christmastime. It seems to give her renewed energy for finishing them.
Love your quick finish and donation. It's always a great feeling to clean house and finally finish those "forgotten" gems.

Have never done it with quilting UFOs. But certainly have done "From Me to Me" presents.
The best one though was when I was having family for Christmas day one year. I wrapped up one present for myself. Big enough but not huge with the best of wrapping paper, bows and ribbons to be impressive enough to make sure it would garner their full attention!! No one said a peep about it to me ... but I knew there was chatter as to who it was from and what it was about!! Meanwhile, I was giggling to myself!!
