1
Get them a session with a financial advisor. This would be a great gift, especially with the current financial situation that we are all in. They can help save you money on taxes and get your 2009 investing plan nailed down.

2
You can pre-pay someone's tax preparation bill. The national average is between $115 and $150. Find out who they do their taxes with and contact that person and pay them without knowing. Imagine their glee in a few months when they find out!

3
Get them a subscription to a good financial publication or web site. The Wall Street Journal immediately comes to mind. Action Alerts Plus from The Street is another good one. The Financial Times is also good.

Buy them a couple shares of a stock. You could go with conventional picks like Deere (ticker: DE), Disney, (DIS), or Wal-Mart (WMT). Or perhaps an index fund like the S&P 500. This is the gift that truly keeps on giving (hopefully)!
