Who needs a judgmental Santa deciding whether you've been naughty or nice when you have generous celebrities making a list and checking it twice? Seems a few stars are getting into the holiday spirit a little early by giving -- and in some cases, getting -- gifts.

Let's start on the benevolent end of the spectrum with Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, who made good on their promise to donate items from their recent "Wizard of Oz"-themed baby shower to the Los Angeles Free Clinic.

Joel Madden and Nicole Richie launch the Richie Madden Children's Foundation in Los Angeles on Dec. 3.

On Monday, the stork-preparing pair surprised 100 new and expectant underprivileged moms with more than $200,000 worth of baby swag, including essentials such as cribs, monitors, strollers, blankets, bottles, diaper bags, car seats, baby carriers, books, toys and more (much of the loot was donated by sponsors).

"Everything they got, we got, so everything that will be in their nursery will be in our nursery," the glowingly swollen starlet told the press (via People). "The looks on their faces were priceless. Some of them didn't even believe us [when they saw the gifts]. They thought we were joking."

According to the Good Charlotte front man, their newly formed Richie-Madden Children's Foundation is a way to make sure their ankle-biter, who's due to arrive in January, feels connected to and responsible for the community.

Besides, he says, "Sometimes people don't want to believe that me and Nicole are just a young couple having a baby and we're really excited. We don't really get to share our lives with people. It's nice to connect with people on a real level."

Not connecting on a real level?

David Beckham, whom the London Daily Mirror says forked over some serious cash to guarantee wife Victoria and her fellow Spice Girls sparkled on the first night of their recently launched world tour.

The soccer star reportedly presented spouse Posh, along with Scary, Sporty, Ginger and Baby, with $100,000 worth of diamond bracelets before they hit the stage in Vancouver, Canada, on Sunday.

"He knows I'm really nervous about him seeing me back onstage, so he bought us all these bracelets for good luck," Mrs. Beckham said before the show. "It's like the old days. David spent a lot of time around the girls when we first got together -- it's as though he married all of us. He's the original Spice Boy."

The bracelets must have been charmed, because reviews for their reunion have been surprisingly strong, with the Vancouver Sun enthusing, "It was about great entertainment. And the girls delivered the spice."

Eva Longoria also got this cute little Bambi award for free. She later had to break the news its mother was killed by a hunter. Then she treated it to Louboutins.

And finally, we end on an avaricious note with Eva Longoria's whirlwind weekend in Manhattan. The New York Daily News reports the "Desperate Housewives" star descended on the Big Apple with seven girlfriends for a swag grab of "goods and services" valued at more than $100,000.

On their schedule were stops at swanky salons and shops, including Coach, Henri Bendel and Saks, which reportedly gave Eva a $1,500 pair of Christian Louboutin boots (an insider says she generously sprung for deluxe footwear for her friends). Along the way, says the paper, they collected freebies ranging from sunglasses to chocolates to jewelry.
