Ditransitivity

For my all-verb language, I'm trying to figure out what to do with
ditransitives like "give".  Basically, I see two options: either do
away with ditransitives, or add verbal indirect-object marking and a
dative case.

Does anyone know if there is a way to get rid of ditransitives?  Id you
don't want to have indirect objects, how can you deal with concepts
like "give"?
