Why not? I think giving to family would count.
Hashem should help you find good friends this year so that next year you should have lots of friends to give to.

Can you give your neighbors? Someone lonely who would appreciate the gesture? A shul rebbetzin?

I think you can give to family members who don't live in your house.

You only have to give one person. Not two. Matanos levyonim has to be at least two "matanos."

I give a lonely widow next door.
Is there anyone in your life you talk to ever?
Can you drop one by the Rav's house?

I think you can give relatives who don't live with you- so not DH or your kids. But sisters, sisters in law, parents...

I don't have friends either. There is a single mother in my neighborhood, we saw each other when taking out kids to school and shared a smile or occasional hi. Last year send her MM and we are now friendly.

You don't have to give it to them face-to-face. You can leave it in front of their door if you're that shy. The preferred way is, in fact, to have someone else deliver the package--"mishloach" means "sending" not "giving." And they don't have to be your best friends; the point is to foster friendship, not just to express existing friendship. You can give to a Jewish neighbor you don't even know.
