I don't have any good ideas. Here are my bad ideas:

1) fund a vacation for your daughter. Have one family buy the plane tix, another do the hotel, another do the travel expenses at destination. If you get creative, your daughter could fund a nice vacation.

2) invest the money in something which has a piece of paper (like a bond). So the paper is the material thing.

3) get a new electronic something or other she will need as she approaches college age (think computer+printer+ other).
