Babies are consumers, just like the rest of us. They go through diapers, shampoo , wipes , clothing,booties, toys , and dozens ofother items with abandon. And that makes it a challenge for mom and dad to keeptheir little consumers supplied with all they need. That's why, long ago, someone invented baby showers--and now they're an indispensable tradition. Your sister has her first baby, so you throw a shower because she needs everything ! After outfitting her newborn son, you find out she's having another baby. This one's a girl. Sis needs everything again! There's intense debate about whether baby showers are necessary or appropriate for baby number two, baby number three, and any subsequent children. But when you ask the moms, the response is nearly always the same--showers are appreciated for all babies. In some cases, a baby shower is actually a necessity. Perhaps it's been 10 years since the last addition to the family or maybe there have been so many babies (and so many hand-me-downs) that the revolving collection of baby clothes has just plain worn out. Whatever the circumstances, moms (and dads) like the attention and they want each child to be welcomed as special and unique. Following are some baby gift ideas that lean toward the practical. Nursery Necessities Think useful, not cutesy. Crib sheets , bumper pads , night-lights , and lamps are alwaysappreciated. If you know the room décor, matching pictures and cloth wall hangings are alsoappropriate. Try crib or car-seat toys or soothing lullaby CDs to help babydrift off to sleep. Breastfeeding moms will also appreciate breastfeeding accessories and a nursing pillow . Good, Clean Fun Make a splash with a sweet and practical bath time gift. From the basics to fun extras, you can really put together a fun bath "kit" with a little creativity. Start with skin and hair care products --shampoo, soap, baby oil, lotion, washcloths , and baby powder . Baby willalso appreciate a water-friendly toy ortwo, because after all, bathtime is fun time! Also consider a bath seat to hold babyup in the water, a soft robe or hooded towel, and (why not?) the bathtub itself. Keepsakes--For the Baby withEverything Sometimes parents don't really need a shower. They've already been to the baby store and stocked up on everything imaginable. But you still want to honor the new little one. Photograph albums and baby books withpockets for keepsakes--such as that first lock of hair or the first tooth forthe tooth fairy--might fit the bill. A picture frame isalways a welcome gift, especially since parents will be snapping photos nonstopfor some time to come. Other ideas for the baby with everything are a porcelaincereal bowl or silver-plated keepsake box . Go, Baby, Go Not to be forgotten is the durable goods section (or shall we say, "semidurable," since baby items tend to get heavy use): strollers , car seats , and infant carriers and baby slings . Nearly all mothers will give you a thumbs up if you present a baby swing , which isperfect for soothing and occupying baby while mom is doing something else. Some baby shower hostesses take the practical route and furnish mom with a brand-new--and fully stocked-- diaper bag . Abattle-ready diaper bag comes pre-equipped with baby wipes , diapers, changing pad ,pacifiers, small soft toys ,lotions and powders, and sealable disposal bags for used diapers. Just for Mom Pregnancy is tough on mom, so she'll appreciate a little pampering. Your gift might be to cook dinner in the first week after the new baby arrives home. Or you might give a gift certificate for free baby-sitting, to be redeemed when mom and dad are ready for a night out. Hiring a cleaning service so that the new parents can spend more time with the little one is another nice gesture. Mom might also like personal items such as nightgowns for the hospital, skin care products, and certificates for a manicure or pedicure. And she certainly would appreciate a sampler of vitamins, especially if she'll be nursing her newborn. Baby Registry Finally, shopping from a Babiesrus.com/Amazon.com Baby Registry makes it easy to give your favorite parents-to-be exactly what they want. Youcan search for their registry by name, state, or code. If youlive far away or won't be able to make it to the shower, you can even have thegift wrapped and shipped!

College Gift
Centre College: Gift helps Voltaire scholars polish their understanding of French language, culture Gift helps Voltaire scholars polish their understanding of French language, culture RELEASED: July 28, 2005 DANVILLE, KY—Centre College 2005 graduates Kim Bauser and Patrick Malarky couldn't wait to get back to France after their year abroad in Strasbourg. Thanks to the Voltaire Scholars Travel Fund—the brainchild of Charles Vahlkamp , Hazelrigg professor emeritus of French—their return trips were made a lot easier. "The fund covers travel expenses for a Centre student to return to France. It's a study opportunity that's more intensively language-based than our Strasbourg program," says Vahlkamp, who made a generous contribution to the fund in addition to conceiving it. "Patrick and I both received Voltaire scholarships this past year so that we would be financially able to travel to Strasbourg and work with Dr. [Ken] Keffer [Stodghill Professor of Modern Languages] for a month helping him prepare for his spring semester abroad," says Bauser. "We had originally planned to work as teaching assistants at the linguistic center in Besançon, but when that fell through Dr. Keffer generously offered to let us help him instead. With Dr. Keffer insisting that Patrick and I speak only French for the term, my skill and comfort with the language definitely improved. And, getting to return to a city that I'd already grown to love during my semester abroad my sophomore year reminded me why I had loved it and encouraged me to want to go back—whether for fun or even to work for a year or two. This trip also provided me with time and inspiration as I worked on my French seminar project, a series of short stories (in French of course) about my adventures abroad." Vahlkamp adds, "In recent years, several students who had spent a term in Centre's Strasbourg program were able to return to France for a winter term in Besançon, where we've established a link with a language institute there." The first student who went to Besançon was Whitney Camack. She went on to earn an M.A. in French civilization and literature at the University of Cincinnati, where she is now an adjunct instructor of French. She also teaches at Xavier University. "The impact on our students, observable upon return, has been spectacular," says Vahlkamp about the follow-up trips. "The fact of being on their own and of speaking French almost exclusively allowed for considerable linguistic progress and, more important, a substantial gain in self-confidence." A noted Voltaire scholar, Vahlkamp wrote his dissertation on Voltaire and published scholarly articles in Studies on Voltaire. Vahlkamp notes that Strasbourg has a Voltaire connection as well. The writer and philosopher spent one of his many periods of exile in the Alsace region, where Strasbourg is located. "We're humbled in the French program at Centre to have an emeritus colleague, Charles Vahlkamp, whose enlightenment knows no boundaries of space and time," says Keffer. "Charles is convinced that when our best students become Voltaire Scholars they might one day become scholars of Voltaire!" Richard Trollinger, vice president for college relations, notes that through programs such as the Voltaire Scholars, Centre, where 75 percent of students study abroad, has become a national leader in international study. "What Centre does through its study abroad program to prepare students for life in a global society is truly remarkable," he says. "The Voltaire Scholars Travel Fund has added value to the study abroad program for students majoring in French and who wish to take their study of French language, literature and culture to a new level." Students who would like to take advantage of this opportunity should contact Keffer at 859-238-5233 or keffer@centre.edu . Anyone interested in making a donation to support the Voltaire Scholars should contact Trollinger at 859-238-5209 or trllngr@centre.edu . - end - Founded in 1819, Centre College is ranked among the U.S. News top 50 national liberal arts colleges. Centre alumni, known for their nation-leading loyalty in annual financial support, include two U.S. vice presidents and two Supreme Court justices.
