What to get a destructive child for Christmas?

I have no clue what to get my 5yo daughter for Christmas or what to tell my family when they ask... she will destroy anything you put in front of her, and I mean anything. We ended up taking away a lot of her toys and are down to just a few dolls, stuffed animals, books and puzzles, and crayons/markers under supervision. We made her donate some of her things and she occasionally gets one of her old toys back for good behavior but the cycle never ends. The last time she was given a nice gift, it was a Leapfrog tablet and she shattered it to the point where it will no longer turn on within about 2 months of having it. She also tore apart a gorgeous dollhouse my MIL gave her within hours. You get the idea.

We have contemplated opting out of toys this year and taking a trip to a big zoo or a theme park (we live in Florida) but aren’t sure yet. Does anyone have any advice on something that can withstand her or any alternatives to toys?
