How to Buy a Baby Shower Gift - eHow.com Clear Instructions on How To Do (just about) Everything Web eHow.com Home Holidays & Traditions Center Special Events How to Buy a Baby Shower Gift Baby shower gifts can be simple or elegant, traditional or creative and personal. Select with creativity and care - the possibilities are endless. Steps: 1. Check the registry. These days, many moms-to-be register for baby items they know they will need. 2. Use your experience as a parent (or ask someone you know who has kids): What could you not live without during the first year? 3. Investigate the needs of the new parents. Do they need a front carrier, a baby backpack or a stylish diaper bag? 4. Go in with a group to purchase baby furniture or strollers. Send these the minute you know a baby is expected, or tell the parents you plan to buy them. 5. Monogram a silver baby mug, baby silverware or a silver picture frame. 6. Buy child-sized jewelry: a nametag bracelet or bangle; a heart necklace for a girl; or an ID bracelet, tie bar or cufflinks for a boy. 7. Choose clothes in size 3 months or larger. A baby usually has a first outfit and will quickly outgrow newborn sizes. Include gift receipts if possible. 8. Start the baby's library with a classic hardbound book. Put a nameplate in the front cover for a personal touch. 9. Evaluate your spending limits. If you don't want to spend more than $50, opt for an outfit, a special blanket or a baby grooming kit, complete with clippers, diaper ointments and shampoo. 10. Stay away from equipment that's on sale, unless you know the parents want a particular item. There might be a reason it is on sale. 11. Give the baby a savings bond as a big gesture. Tips: When the sex of the baby is unknown, opt for gender-neutral colors such as yellow, white and green. Crib quilts are personal, so ask if there is a planned pattern, or make one for a unique gift. Forgo the thoughtful, yet unnecessary gift for Mom. Although it's a nice gesture, she will probably be embarrassed by the attention - after all, the shower is for the baby. Tips from eHow Users: Don't take a chance on the sex! by Anthony N. Even parents who think they know their babies sex from an ultrasound can't be 100% sure. So, don't presume and buy pink frilly dresses or overalls with trains. Rate this tip: Help the parents with diaper changes... by Annette S. Diapers are a necessity that parents will appreciate from the time their little bundle comes home from the hospital til the child is ready to begin potty training. Ask guests to bring a bag of diapers (newborn and older because babies grow rapidly). The parents will be appreciate this gesture because diapers can get expensive and they are used in bulk Warning: be aware of mom's allergies that may be evident with baby. Ask mom whether To be on the safe side, buy hypoallergenic, alcohol, perfume & dye free diapers and wipes.

But, it can be a little confusing, with so many options and so many terms. Use the information below to give you a better idea of what form your gift might take to best reflect your intentions. Use these links to skip directly to the section you want to see, or scroll down the page to read about all of these options. Annual Funds Endowed Funds Current Use Gifts Deferred Gifts Annual Funds Annual funds are current-use financial resources used to support priority programs not covered through state funding. Many donors choose to designate their annual gifts to the College's Fund for Excellence. The Dean of the College annually determines the priorities for this fund. In recent years it has supported our minority student recruitment efforts, enriched student leadership programs, and enhanced technology training for student and faculty. Annual fund dollars can also be designated to the William Chandler Bagley Scholars Program. Entirely funded through private gifts, this program enables us to provide merit-based scholarships and fellowships to some of our most talented students. During 2002-2003 academic year, 37 students directly benefited from this program. Wherever you designate your annual fund gift, you can be assured that your donation is going directly to support the research, teaching and service missions of the College of Education. With no minimum gift, this is a great way to begin your investing in the College of Education. Endowed Funds Endowed funds are gifts large enough to generate yearly income. The principal remains intact through investment and only the interest is used. Endowed funds are attractive because they guarantee that financial resources will be available for years to come. Generally, endowed funds are named in recognition of the donor or donors. The size of the donation to establish a permanently endowed fund is determined by the purpose of the gift (i.e. scholarship, professorship, etc...) as well as by current financial market considerations. To learn more about creating an endowed fund you can visit the University of Illinois Foundation web site or contact one of the College gift officers. Current Use Gifts Current use gifts can be put to use by the College immediately upon receipt from the donor. Examples might include a newly endowed scholarship, a one-time gift to purchase new computers for one of our departments, or a donation to one of our Annual Funds. When you hear the words current use, it basically means a gift that can be put into immediate action. Deferred Gifts Deferred gifts are ones that are designed to be put to use at a future time. While these gift agreements may be made at any time, the execution schedule of the donation is the result of careful planning that integrates the donor's charitable gift into his or her overall financial, tax, and estate planning objectives in order to maximize the benefits for both the donor and the College. Examples of deferred gifts might include an estate bequest. Maintained by Chris Harris 244-8335 last updated 11/15/2004 feedback form

In the first method, a donor makes an outright gift of property, transferring ownership to an institution like Skidmore, and receives a charitable income tax deduction equal to the property's appraised current market value. If the property has appreciated in value, the donor will not incur capital gains tax liability on the increased value. If the property is transferred by will, there may be an estate tax deduction. Skidmore generally sells donated property, and donors often advise the College about how moneys might be applied after the property sale. In the second method, a donor may transfer ownership of property to Skidmore, but retain the right to live in/on the property for life. There is an immediate charitable income tax deduction for a portion of the value of the property. The third option is with a charitable remainder trust . A donor can transfer property to a trust, whereby the trustee sells the property and reinvests the proceeds to provide lifetime income to the donor. When the trust ends, either after the donor's death or after a predetermined number of years, the trust assets become available to Skidmore. Capital gains tax is avoided, and the donor is entitled to an immediate charitable income tax deduction. Finally, there is a "bargain sale" arrangement. In this scenario, the donor sells property, or a part of property, to the College for less than the appraised fair market value. The difference is considered to be a charitable gift, qualifying for a charitable income tax deduction and a portion of capital gains tax avoidance. To learn more call or email the Office of Gift Planning. Bring Legacy to Life! Philanthropy • Legacy • Security The Office of Gift Planning urges donors to consult their legal and other professional advisors when considering charitable gift giving. Our staff is always pleased to work directly with donors and their advisors during the process. Creative Thought Matters.
