Give something away.
I am in a virtual book club. For Christmas last year, I gave the kids a book set by Priscilla Shirer called "The Prince Warriors". 
One of the main characters is Evan and he's in the 4th grade - as Evan was last Christmas. I was talking with the kids and told them I wanted to read it with them. Then Nic & Ben said, "we just started that series! We'd do a book club, too!" Then Mom wanted in on it. We planned to do a WhatsApp video weekly.
When I came home, I was telling Carie about it and she said, "Chloe and I just started that series, too!" And they are in our book club, too!
We're in the middle of book two now. It's SOOO fun.
In the story, the kids are going to a fantasy land and are given "armor" (like from the Bible) and one of them is a seed. It's described as red, about the size of a skittle, and solid. I was in Missoula and one of my coworkers has a 3D printer. He was showing some fidget toys that had the exact red I wanted. I asked if he could make me some "seeds". He gave them to me the next day! I gave each one of my book club a seed. And we talk each week about where our seed is.
I needed a thing to carry mine in and I found a cute set of tin boxes. I'm going to give those to the gals. I need to figure out something for Evan.
It's so special to have a physical reminder, especially for the kids, that God is our shield. And we just have to have faith like a seed (technically a mustard seed, but in the book they make it more emphasized for the story).
