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, KYCentre 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 Fundthe brainchild of Charles Vahlkamp , Hazelrigg professor emeritus of Frenchtheir 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 backwhether 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.

We think exchanging gifts is a fun part of the holiday season, but we didn't want to max out our credit cards and fill up the landfills with more plastic junk. We asked "What is the most creatively inexpensive or eco-friendly gift you have ever given or received?" Here are a few of the replies: l. Give your child(ren) a box of items that can be assembled into a homemade playhouse or tree house: scrap wood, cardboard, small hammer, non-toxic paint, rope, pulleys, shingles, canvas, anything that you can find in your garage or basement that might be put to good use for that long-awaited play house. Include a certificate promising that you will help them build the house. 2. Consider a box of dress-up clothes, assembled from old Dad and Mom clothing and from local thrift stores. Silk nightgowns, wild shoes, silly ties, an old but fancy dress, hats, - all of these packed in a pretty box can provide hours of fun and creative play. 3. Store-bought gifts are not all bad! Consider giving gifts that bring out your child's creativity, while not generating junk, packaging, and more plastic. Why not a kid's cookbook with healthy, yummy recipes; a craft kit with organic yarn or fabric; some durable tools for building things; sheet music for your young musicians; a magnifying glass for studying bugs, plants, and rocks; a set of seashells; a stamp book for learning about other countries; several kids of modeling clay or homemade playdough; or gardening tools, seeds, and a plot of soil for your child's indoor gardening area. -- Submitted by the Center for a New American Dream's own Executive Director, Betsy Taylor, Takoma Park, MD I don't have a gift idea, but would like to say that it's fun and easy to make beautiful decorations at home with things you can find in your own backyard if you have one. Instead of buying greens trucked in from New England or Oregon, I simply go out back, trim a few juniper, arborvitae and winterberry (Ilex verticillata) branches and make wreathes and table and mantle decorations on my own dried up grapevines. After December, I throw all these in the compost. The junipers and winterberries are native here (Southwest Ohio) and provide cover and food for local wildlife as well as holiday decorations. I use the same forms, vases and ribbons every year, save money and get to play Martha Stewart minus the gold spray paint. This type of decorating is what our ancestors did, and local historic districts that decorate for the holidays can be a great source of ideas. As long as no one rips plants out of the wild, it seems the most sustainable way to go, as well as being a lot classier and creative than the plastic and/or generic alternatives. (Even though plastic decorations often last for years, they all make it to the landfill at some point.) It's fun for kids to do too--a relaxing family activity. -- Jenny Willis, Cincinnati, OH When my sister's children were very young and my money was very tight, I wrote stories with the kids as the main characters. I had once sent for a personalized story for another niece, and was very disappointed when it arrived. I had provide all of the information that was requested on the order form and the result was a story that read like dictionary entries - all the information was there, but it lacked cohesiveness. I began with a story about a duck who arrived in their town looking for an elf with tonsillitis who was needed back at the North Pole for reindeer trials. My niece was preparing to have her tonsils removed and my sister is a nurse who works for a pediatrician (obviously just where an elf with a sore throat would go). After writing the story, I drew pictures and put the whole thing together. My niece is a senior in college and still has the very first book that I made for her. It doesn't take a degree in English or an artistic gift to do this - it only takes a little bit of creativity and the love for a child. -- C.A. O'Flaherty, Braintree, MA How about some greenhouse gas offset credits?! -- Fran Morrill, New York, NY My mother knit a stocking for each of the three children, as they came along. Each was a solid color: Mine was red, then a green one for my younger brother, and a white one for the youngest. When the youngest one married a woman from Italy, my mother cleverly knit her a stocking in stripes of those colors to represent the Italian flag and her joining our family. My parents had always had fun doing the stockings even though we were grown up. Last year our father died, and we decided to modify our stocking tradition. Now my mother fills the stockings of the grandchildren, and my generation does a swap of clever stocking stuffers. We are usually heavy on office supplies, such as poster gum, pens, bookmarks, etc. We also put in photos, mottos, and small edible treats, incl. homemade ones. We save for this throughout the year, as we think of things. -- Name withheld Instead of simply giving your loved ones something, make them something. Or better yet, DO something challenging together: take a long bike ride and lunch, climb a mountain, or just go on a long walk. When people realize that it is not the remembrances and tokens of experiences that are great, but the experience itself that is great then "gift" ideas come filtering in. -- Ben Keep, North Haven, CT I have a great action. Get everyone to stop using Wrapping Paper and switch to cotton reusable bags (preferably cotton). Every year my mom makes bags for the gifts we give to others -- and the following year our friends and family use the bags to give their own gifts. We reuse the same bags in our own house year after year. This action would reduce the amount of wrapping thrown out by a billion or so tons (well you probably could find the real stats). My mom and I are thinking of starting an e-business to sell reusable organic holiday bags. Maybe by next year we will be online. -- Crystal Fortwangler This gift can be done for any occasion. I used it at Christmas for my wife. I thought of about 500 memories and wrote them down in 1-10 word snippets and then typed them up so they formed the words "I LOVE YOU" I arranged about 75 snippets of memories to form the capital letter I and then continued arranging memories to form L,O,V,E, and Y,O,U. When all the letters were arranged I printed out the banner and framed it with spare pieces of wood from around the house. Finally, I presented it to my wife on Christmas. -- Chris Klosterman, Toledo, OH Over the course of the next year, I will be "interviewing" my elderly parents on videotape about their childhood memories, how they met, what they can remember about their parents and grandparents. Then I'll videotape photographs and heirlooms of ancestors that have been passed down while my family members talk about the pictures and objects. I plan to do it for my in-laws as well as my own family. I hope to edit the tape over the summer and have copies made in time for Christmas next year. I'll give it to my siblings and to all of our children, who are very young. It will be a talking family tree for generations to come, all for just the cost of my time. And it will be a pleasure for me to make this gift as I will learn about my family history, as well. -- Martha, Saratoga Springs, NY The most enjoyed gift that I gave was bedtime stories. When I had to move 2000 miles away from my 7 granddaughters, whom I have spent a lot of time with, we missed each other terribly. So last year I sat down in front of the camcorder and read several of their favorite bedtime stories to them as if they were right in the room. These tapes have been passed back and forth between the households and now they want me to make more, so it will be down to the library for children's books and back in front of the camera. I feel almost like they are here as I read to them so I guess this is a gift for all of us. -- Shirley Marcy, Lethbridge, Alberta I love to send creative gifts. I am especially inspired by the internet. I create a website dedicated to my loved ones and include their special songs, and pictures that I have made and a list of their accomplishments. Some of the ones I have done are for birthdays, valentines day, Christmas, and spring. It's a very good way to show appreciation, love and to create a virtual brag "book" that highlights the persons talents, accomplishments that go unnoticed, especially to people that are far away. I love doing this! -- Wren Rose, Las Vegas, NV My children love to sing. And they are good too. They have been singing in our choir. We decided that for their grandparents ( who don't need a thing) we would have them record a tape of them singing some old familiar songs. The kids perform and the grandparents can enjoy it again and again. They also painted pottery for them. We had a fun day's activity and the kids made a gift to hang on the wall that is useful too -- a switch plate!! Music and art on a budget! Finally my son is learning Russian. His father studied Russian too. For Dad my son is making a calendar in Russian. They'll both be proud and Dad can use it! -- Name withheld Last year I gave my closest friends "prosperity bundles," borrowing from both Native American and New Age traditions. I collected interestingly-shaped twigs, bark, and wood and broke them into pieces about 15" long, then stacked and tied them into a fist-sized bundle with various wrappings: for some I selected gold cord, for others a beautiful variegated knitting wool, for others leftover ribbon of various kinds, or just plain twine. On my walks I also kept an eye out for other wonderful nature objects: interesting bits of shells or seed pods, feathers, etc. I put this all together and also used shells I had collected previously from the beach. Each bundle was a unique work of art, tailored to that person's personality. I had many compliments on this gift, which cost almost nothing to produce. (except my time, of course!) -- Maril Crabtree, Kansas City, MO Thank you for your wonderful web site! Here are a few of my gift ideas: this year I am painting some empty wine bottles (with special non-toxic paint that won't wash off), filling them with olive oil and topping them with an oil pour spout that can be found in gourmet cooking shops for less than $1. for people who use olive oil in their cooking, this is a gift they can use (and refill) all year. I am also going through lots of pictures I've accumulated over the past 10 years, and putting together a photo album for my parents (they either have everything they want, or can buy what they need, and I know having current pictures of my siblings and I will be meaningful to them). I am also making fleece hats for people. The fleece is relatively inexpensive, - I made some that past couple of years, and people tell me they constantly get compliments on them - their designs are more unusual than the ones you find in stores, and I can make about 4-5 of them for the price of one store-bought hat!!! -- C.R., Rhode Island Thanks for the booklet "Simplify the holidays". I don't have any trouble with my holiday spending as I make a lot of my children's, grandchildren's and great grandchildren's presents. Either knit, sew, woodwork or cooking. The thing that stood out most to me on your booklet was the lack of religious suggestions. Such as: give a bible. Take an elderly to the Christmas plays at church. Such as the hanging of the greens or choir cantatas. Take children to Sunday school give religious oriented books, story books and the like rather than power ranger stuff that really has no value. There are some very good bible games too. Introduce a young child to the local library. They have a nice story time. Garden books to a back yard gardener or a plant he or she doesn't have. Someone who can't see well bring them tapes of books for the local library everyother week. There are some real good ones out now. Well that is my ideas. -- Jean Jenner, Hemphill, TX Every year I try to give at least one thing that recycles something. Last year I baked very rich and sinful chocolate brownies. I then put them in beautiful tins that used to hold fancy chocolates my mother had received many Christmases ago, and were now gathering dust in her closet. My friends loved the brownies and the tins! I used waxed paper to keep the brownies from messing up the inside of the tin, but you could use something recycled, as long as it was clean and would not transfer bad flavors to the food. The tin can be used over and over again; I hope my friend gives it to someone else this year. -- Rachel Ward Get Sculptey clay and thumbtacks. Make some attractive push pins for your friend at the office. -- Juliet Famadico, Newark, California Last Christmas I made "healing baskets" for all the special people in my life...my mother, daughter-in-law, stepson, brother, friends, etc. Each was a basket I had received over the years so it was reused. Into each basket went homemade jams, preserves, jelly, each jar decorated with a little piece of scrap fabric and ribbon, handmade beeswax candles, recycled writing paper, and pens. I called them Healing Baskets because everything that was inside them was made by myself when I was recovering from a nervous breakdown. Each basket was wrapped with a large linen square that could be used as a small tablecloth or table runner. Everything was used and appreciated and it helped me feel better as well. -- Andrea Brennan Plaus, Brantford, Ontario, Canada I got this from a fellow county employee, Ronnie Wilcox, in Boulder County, CO: Last year I did something different (and sort of creative) that I have never done before. During the school year my son brought home several pieces of artwork...not extremely professional, but nicely done pieces in watercolor. I had them matted and framed and sent to his grandmother and father who are out-of-state. ...as your tips said "a special gift matched to the person". -- Anne Kaufmann, Boulder County, CO This year I plan to give friends and family an early "ungift", a Gift Exemption Voucher from Adbusters, a Guide to Compassionate Living from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and a Vegetarian Starter Kit from The Physicians' Committee for Responsible Medicine. Another idea is to make a baking mix, put it in a pretty bag and attach the instructions with a string or ribbon. -- Maura McCormick Columbia,MD A very close friend of mine made me a cassette tape of music complete with a set of handwritten liner notes explaining why he had chosen the song, why it was important to him, or why it made him think of me. I have blue eyes and there were a number of songs that mention blue eyes. The music was great but the personal liner notes really made the present very special to me. It was a present that made me feel close to him and also appreciated. -- Karleen, Salt Lake City, UT The best gifts I ever gave my family for Christmas came the year I gave away my own possessions. I'm doing this again this year because my husband and I are building a house and haven't got a penny to spare. If anyone else out there is like me, they've got a lot of seldom or never used stuff that is in good condition. I am simply going to go through my stuff with my Christmas list and find a nice thing for each person. The one time I did this before, I found that the more special the thing had been to me, the more it meant to the person receiving it. In my family, people didn't care that the present was something I already had: they understood that was all I had to give. If other people do care about that sort of thing, just don't let on the secret. -- Cassandra, Vermont my favorite Christmas gift as a child was what we called a "sock monkey". it was a monkey made from men's brown and white work socks with a red toe. The socks were inexpensive and my mom made each of us one. We loved them to pieces and have nothing left! this year I am giving "y2k romance packages". the basket is contructed of 1/2 - 1" branches cut from my trees. I cut them to 10 " lengths, microwave them for 1 minute (to kill any little critters), then construct a square basket by tying the branches together with twine. I then fill this with shredded paper, pine cones gathered from our trees, and a book of matches. I top it off with 2 mugs (left over from the many we receive every Christmas) and 2 packages of hot cocoa mix. This gift is completely consumable except the mugs and gives a much deserved opportunity to relax. I have also given sketches to friends of their houses with a few Victorian touches like a garden path running to the front door instead of a driveway. a wonderful keepsake and very inexpensive but for the film to photograph the house. -- Jan Hopkins, Farmington, UT The best gift I ever gave was to my then 6 year old daughter. I bought an old camel back trunk at an auction for around $15.00 (a real steal!). Then I lined it with some red "velvet like" material. I then went through my closet, my mothers closet, my grandmothers closet and found my old formals, gaudy jewelry, purses, hats, high heel shoes, anything that would work for "dress up". The only other thing I spent money on was a tea set. I put all of it into the trunk and gave it to her from Santa. She still plays dress up with all of her friends (I even put some boys clothes in for her male cousins.) I even add to it for birthdays and each year at Christmas to keep it fun and new. -- Kristie, Ashland, MO My grandmother doesn't need much and she loves gifts that are homemade. We grow our own herbs and my grandmother loves our garden. For several years now we have given her herbs for Christmas. We give her enough to last the year and we make our own labels to paste on the baggies or small jars. She loves the herbs and uses them all year. Christmas is just about the time she needs more. This year we are giving several relatives our herbs. Also in past years we have made flavored vinegars with our herbs. Again we put them in a nice jar and paste on a label we have made. The best vinegar we ever made was with our cayenne peppers. Flavored vinegar is easy to make. Just place the herbs (or chilis) in a decorative jar, add the vinegar and seal with wax. -- Michele Clark, Albuquerque, NM When my parents, brother, sisters and significant others gather to exchange gifts, there are 7 or eight people to give to. This can be very stressful and expensive! This year, my husband and I are creating a holiday pictionary game that will involve winning prizes. Prizes will be in plain brown bags, and include small consumable gifts like a nice bar of soap, locally made candy, local beer . . . When it's your turn to choose a prize bag, you have the option of stealing someone else's already opened gift. This is like white elephant games that some folks do around the holidays. I expect that it will be fun and entertaining. All the gifts are available cheaply from our local Co-op grocery store, and they don't include cluttering STUFF. Idea # 2: Perhaps we'll try this next year with my husband's family, but this year we're making homemade biscotti and giving it along with bags of organic, shade-grown coffee. Biscotti recipes can be found on the internet, and since they're dry cookies, they have a long shelf life. -- JoAnne Peters Minneapolis, MN After a poll of friends about their children's favorite and most lasting toys, I've decided to buy my son a piece of *rope* this year. It was unanimously the most-enjoyed and creatively-used toy brought up. -- Tabitha M. Felix, Orlando, FL My friends are always amazed at how I always have gifts for every one and how I seem to have just the right gift. It's something I sorta learned from my mother who shops throughout the year when ever she saw something on sale. She always had a whole closet of gifts even for the unexpected birthday. Me, I have used her idea of shopping all year only I do it at Garage sales. It is a fun outing every Sat. Morning.... beats sleeping in. I get to feel like I'm recycling. I get to take my time (all year) to find just the right gift. I save $$$$ on gifts but also on my own personal needs. I get everything from laundry soap to Nike shirts. In our culture we have soooo much that we can never use it all. I buy every thing that I give as a gift new and I pay $1 where it would cost $20 in the store. X-mas arrives and I am stress free while everyone else is shopping I am baking and sewing. Have a thankful end of the year as we prepare for the new millennium where we may all be tested to share like we have never been tested before. -- Dhira DiBiase Waimanalo, HI For several years my husband & I were going through money problems, you know no money, anyhow we tried to find ways to spend as little as possible on Christmas. So one year I made these flannel bags (12 by 4 inches) filled with dried corn inside The idea being that you heat them up in a microwave for a couple of minutes and use them to soothe sore muscles or to keep your feet warm at night. I tell you that this was several years ago and I still have people asking me if and when I am going to make more bags every year. Or for birthdays, I also had a friend who used the bag for her infant granddaughter to keep the baby warm from going to the car from the house. Not much money and it's a gift that is reusable. Once the corn is burnt or doesn't heat as well { it may take several years I am still working on one from 5 years ago} you can compost the corn. -- Joyce Brown, Thorsby, Alberta, Canada We wrap presents in 1:50,000 scale National Topographic Series Maps or backcountry hiking areas that are popular. Everybody loves maps and they make useful, reusable wrapping! Love the site - very helpful for our low-impact Xmas. -- Chris Hamilton, BC Parks, Cariboo District Last year my wife gave me one of the most touching and I think BEST Christmas presents I have ever received. On word cards on a metal ring she had written and drawn, in a colorful way, a set of gift certificates: "Good for a Massage", "Good for One Home Cooked Meal", "I will wash the Dishes - One Meal", "Good for a Walk in the Hills", "Good for One Camping Trip", "Good for One Day of Skiing", and "Good for a Hug". And best of all - they are reusable! -- Per Kielland-Lund, Madison, WI My only sister and I live across the country from one another. A few years ago, I bought a new calendar and in it I wrote family holidays and personal messages. I included some "memories" such as "remember when we were young and we would celebrate our own 'Christmas in July'?". Now, my sister makes a calendar for me, too! It is a wonderful way to think about each other every day and even though it takes time to put together, it costs very little. --Debra Myers, Midland, VA Story boards are great gifts too. My father was a high school basketball star from Vt. He always told us about how he played in the Boston Garden at the New England High School Basketball Championships, so when my husband was spending some time at the Boston Public Library he researched the Boston Globe to see if there were any articles written at the time. Sure enough he found some. I then called the VT State Library who for $7 sent me a few articles from a local paper. From that we made a story board of the event. It brought tears to his eyes and ahs from one of his old high school classmates. -- Kathy Corson, Exeter, NH This takes a little planning and a bit of research, but try this for holiday or birthday presents for your friends and relatives who admire flower gardens: Give a gift certificate for your perennials that are getting crowded and need dividing. You can dig the bulbs or tubers in the fall (daylilies, daffodils, lily of the valley, shasta daisies, some herbs, etc.,) if thats whats best to get the plants off to a good start in spring-they can overwinter planted in pots and kept lightly watered in the dark corner of a cold garage or basement (or root cellar, if youve got one). Or, if its best to dig the plants up in the spring (say, unwanted sprouts of shrubs like Rose of Sharon [althea]), give the person a gift certificate. (So that you dont forget, make sure you mark your calendar for the next spring at a time thats good for transplanting.) Put the plants or bulbs into pots youve saved from gifts or from your previously purchased plants (dont you have a stash in your basement or garage?!) or pots that youve scrounged up at yard/garage sales for pennies. Wrap the pots in some foil (can be recycled in communities that collect it), add a bow if youd like, and youre all set. For extra credit, help your friend plant your gift, or enclose planting directions. Doesnt cost much of anything, doesnt pollute, and shares the beauty. -- Rosa, from The Bay State A gift that I've given my grandparents who are in a nursing home is a box of already stamped and addressed homemade postcards for all of their relatives. So when "cousin Joe" had a birthday my grandmother could simply find the card and send it. My grandparents didn't need anything more in their life and their handwriting was too shaky to read, so this gift made them feel like they could still send cards to their family. Recognizing other family member's birthdays is very important to my grandmother and it gives her a sense of independence. -- Name withheld For my mom for her birthday I gave her a collection of quotes about mothers that I collected from library books. I also had a list of some of the many reasons why I love her. She was so touched that she cried. To give her that gift was the most rewarding feeling I have ever felt from giving. I also made rosewater from soaking rose petals in water for about a month. Rosewater has a great many uses, including a refreshing face wash. --Kate Gould, OR Last year for Xmas, we made small pillows ( 5" x 5" ) out of scrap fabric and filled them with soothing herbs; lavender, rose, etc. Buying the herbs in bulk at the health food store cost only pennies. Our friends loved these gifts and we spent only a small amount of $$ and our time in making them. --Valerie Rowe, Sarasota, FL I once gave a friend a homemade coupon for her anniversary--for an evening's babysitting for her five sons, so she could have an evening out with her hubby. My cost??? About four hours of fun, reading to and playing with some great kids! She told me later it was her favorite gift. -- Jeanette, Huntington Beach, CA Last year I gave "Environmental Activist Starter Kits" as Christmas presents. The "kits" that I put together consisted of membership to non-profit organizations that send newsletters, such as Predator Project and Environmental Defense Fund, just to name two, along with recycled paper tablets and refillable Parker pens to be used for writing letters to newspapers and politicians. I tried to match the recipients with an organization that they may have some interest in. They seemed to be a hit, but quite honestly, I don't think that anyone wrote any letters to the editor or senators. But I like to think that they also got a little hidden gift with the kits -- Awareness. Other gifts that I have given include cloth grocery and cotton net produce bags, energy efficient light bulbs, and monetary donations to the local homeless center in the name of my friends and family. --Donna, York, PA After my mother-in-law died, my father-in-law did not eat properly. He often just had a bowl of cereal for dinner or snacked on candy or Cheetos in late afternoon and then skipped dinner because he wasn't hungry. He really liked homemade soups, so for Christmas, we packed up containers of soups, wrapped each container in a plastic bag, labeled it, and froze them. On Christmas morning we put them in a box and wrapped it. He loved the gift. He had oodles of "stuff" [my sister-in-law gave him a red flannel shirt each year for Christmas and when he died we found 3 unworn in the gift boxes in his closet!]. The soup was the perfect gift according to Dad. It solved the dinner problem for him and was "consumed" rather than taking up more space in the closet. Didn't cost much either! -- Lisa Anderson, Des Plaines, IL I have two younger brothers, ages 7 and 9, and I gave them an "adoption" of two animals, one a baby elephant and a killer whale. They received photos of the animals through the UK-based organisation "Call of the Wild", and were delighted by the presents! --Philippe Leupin, Athens, Greece One year, my sister was very inspired and wanted to do something really neat. With her husband and daughters, she went through the Christmas list and thought of 2 neat things about each person--things that made them special, things that we all liked about that person, something about his or her special talent. etc. She wrote these things on two pieces of ribbon, and attached them to a little fuzzy pom-pom (1" diameter). Then she put all these "warm fuzzies" in a bag. At our Christmas gathering, someone would reach into the bag, read aloud what was written on the ribbons, and then we would, as a group, decide who best fit the description and give it to that person. I still have my "warm fuzzy". It hangs on my tree as a Christmas ornament so I get to read it every year and it reminds me of the love that was expressed by all that year. It was and is a great gift! --Name withheld This Christmas I plan on making all of the gifts I give to my wife and children. I won't tell you about all of them, but I will tell about one. My wife and I went on a date a couple of weeks ago and ended up in an import shop here in Madison which imports goods from Africa. I am an African History graduate student, so, of course, I was interested. We entered and saw a store full of high-priced exotic items from half a world away. The thing is, I was amazed at how simple many of the items where: the consumer here paid for transport and to subsidize the store-owner's trips to Africa rather than for the items themselves or the skill of the craftsman. My wife and I were particularly impressed by the simple, yet elegant beadwork on many of the items. My wife picked up one item and said "Wow, this looks pretty! Ohmigosh! That's it?" I went over to ascertain what could have elicited such a response (my wife is not very excitable, a rather well-tempered person). There was a beautiful (and rather expensive) bracelet made from nothing but safety pins, tiny plastic or glass beads, and some elastic. We left the store and when we got home I headed straight for my children's bedroom. There, I new, was a stash of thousands of those little tiny beads that my daughter had received as a Christmas present a year ago, yet which remained largely unused. We had bought her one set and a cousin bought her another even larger set, so we had been swamped by beads. Try as she might, my daughter just couldn't seem to use them all. Well, now I have a use for them. After spending $4 or so on some safety pins, I am now beading them up and using what we already have to make a present for my daughter. She has seen these bead bracelets before and loves them, but we simply could not afford them... until now. --Forrest Aguirre, Madison, WI Last year we made birdseed balls out of seed, suet and leftover ribbons (so they could hang outside). We gave them to my husband's grandmother, and my mother and stepfather, Very inexpensive, environmentally friendly, didn't clutter up their houses and something we were able to say we made ourselves. -- Pam Hayes-Bohanan, Bridgewater, MA topcat.bridgew.edu/~phayesboh I give classes on passive solar design to our future builders on Native American Reservations. --Name withheld Hand knitted hats! Fun to make, and I can knit while talking with friends, watching a movie, or listening to some favorite music. Picture frames made from the cardboard of old boxes and decorated with pictures from old magazines or natural objects like seeds, leaves and flowers. I pick things to decorate the frame that represent the person I'm giving the gift to, and then get a copy of a favorite picture and put it in there. Wrap in cloth and tie with string, or decorate and reuse a paper bag. I think one of the best gifts if you do buy something for someone is to get the friend something that will encourage a talent they have or further their education. Use Christmas as a motivating reason to explore a hobby that you've thought about (pottery, bookmaking, painting, knitting, sewing, photography) but haven't yet pursued. Share your creations as gifts come holiday time. --Heather Smith, Asheville, NC Composting worms (red wigglers) --Tenaj DaCosta, Earth My brother once gave me a strange contraption which was basically a round wooden base with several 8" dowels protruding up- and outward from it. I had to ask him what it was. "Why, it's a baggie recycler," he said! --Tom Bombaci, Jr., Grants, NM A few years ago my husband and I lived in an older home that we were improving. This included a new bathroom on the interior of the house and a new fence for the backyard. When our friend's birthday came up, we made him a great cold-frame (like a mini greenhouse) completely out of reused materials! The cold frame had four sides made out of the lumber from the old fence, 1x4s and 2x4s of beautifully weathered cedar. The "lid" of the cold frame was made of one of the sliding glass door panels from the old, dilapidated shower enclosure. The glass had a nice pattern to it and was tempered. We used some more of the weathered cedar to build a frame for the glass panel, added some hinges and a handle, and there it was! He has used it for two years now to start his young, tender plants in the early spring. We were very proud! --Diane Broad, Corvallis, Oregon The best Christmas present I ever got, and the most ecologically friendly one, was when my parents sponsored a black panther in my name at the Lincoln Park Zoo. The money went to the care of the animal, and to educational efforts about endangered species. -- Rebecca, Madison, WI Last year my husband was interested in a particular book but never found the time to pick up a copy for himself. Without thinking I went to the bookstore and purchased it for him. When I got home and looked at the book more carefully I realized it was not the type of book one needs to own. It was a book that would be enjoyable to read once then pass on. I returned the book to the bookstore and called my local library and ordered the book. I wrapped it and gave it to him for Christmas. I renewed it for him a few times so he had plenty of time to read it. He was delighted to have the book (if briefly!) and we were both glad to avoid adding clutter to our house and unneeded expense to our budget! --Nancy Spicer, Cambridge, MA The last couple of years, I have sent a copy of the new telephone directory to a former resident of our city who has reason to keep in touch byphone, or needs the address of, many folks here in town. The gift has been received with appreciation. --Mark Lunde, Clive, IA I was on a very tight budget two Christmas's ago during a divorce. I had little for my child and I to live on, never mind Christmas Gifts and those for others. My Daughter then 11 years old, would go over to the park across the street from us after school and collect all the pinecones she could. We took shoe boxes and cut them into different shapes, painted them like baskets and used material to go inside like a bread liner, then we covered a handle with the same material, and hot glued pine cones inside with some multi colored mini lights, spread between the pine cones, (extra's we had from years of decorating) we added some red berries again found among our decorations, and then sprayed the whole thing with clear glaze and added a bow to the side of the basket. Add some cinnamon sticks at different places and wrap with saran wrap till its time to give them, they smell great and last forever, can be hung from a porch or used as a centerpiece. --Name withheld The most friendly and ecofriendly gift I ever received was a herbal wreath from a physical therapist/herbologist. Besides being aesthetically beautiful, it was created from all wild flowers/herbs and vines she had cultivated herself in a field. I have enjoyed the scents, eaten the herbs in prepared dishes, employed the healing properties in teas, and saved the seeds for my own garden. When I had disseminated the herbs, I composted the vines and greenery..and also learned to grow herbs myself. Not only did I become a committed herbal gardener, but have passed this down to my children...and they have conveyed this gift to several of their friends. What some might view as a pretty knick-knack has become a legacy of enjoying/utilizing the fruits of the earth in my circle of family and friends. --Name withheld The best frugal gift I got was an unintentional one from my then approx.6 year old son (his is now 18). Well it was Christmas shopping season. I did a lot of shopping with my friend, she had one daughter at the time my two sons were about 61/2 and 3. I am naturally thrifty, some would say cheap. I was amazed at the amount of stuff my friend bought, I began to think that maybe I hadn't bought enough for my kids. Well cheapness won out and I stuck to my usually shopping habits. Well on Christmas day after the kids had opened their presents the 6 year old said: "I think Santa emptied his bag here!" I tell you I was pleased. --Beth, Massachusetts The most creatively frugal and eco-friendly gift that I have given is honey that I harvest from my own colonies. It basically costs nothing to make. It supports the lives of insects, honey bees, who simply can no longer exist in their natural state. There are practically no wild honeybees living outside of man-made hives because pesticides and bee parasites (caused by global commerce in bees) have killed them off. Bees help agriculture yields through their propagation. Honey is a fine, nutritious food. --Bruce, Philadelphia, PA I have a friend who understands my reluctance to consume anything unnecessarily. But Sharon also knows that I like small gifts especially if they are handmade since I am an artist as well as an environmental activist and like to support others. The last several years, Sharon has given me handmade soaps and handmade candles. Both "disappear", neither have been packaged nor wrapped with anything other than string or yarn and they were handmade in Minnesota near where we both live. Thoughtful, useful and without serious impact on the environment while supporting our local underground economy. I think they are really thoughtful and I have enjoyed using them. -- Sheila Bayle-Lissick, Minneapolis, MI My cousin Adrienne has started a GREAT trend. Whenever she gives a gift, she uses old clothes or scarves rather than wrapping paper. She goes to a second hand store and picks out the most outrageous prints on dresses, pants, etc. and then cuts them up to fit the size of the gift. This is eco-friendly in three ways -- the clothes probably would have been thrown out (ugly clothes make great wrapping paper), she avoids using wrapping paper herself and then encourages her recipients to use them to wrap future gifts. Imagine how much wrapping paper would be saved if we all did this! -- Karlynn, Cambridge, MA I used to purchase all my gifts from the Peace Institute or the Physicians for Social Responsibility (they were located in the same building in Portland, OR). As far as I know neither group has a store anymore. They always had reasonably priced, nice cards, calendars, t-shirts and ornaments, which at least I knew was benefiting great causes. There seem to be a few good diversity-type stores which have reasonable gifts from all over the world. I don't know if other than promoting diversity, if they are benefiting any socially responsible groups. --Name withheld This is not my idea but I ran across it on the Internet and thought it was so cute: Anyone who owns a personal computer has probably received dozens of those AOL promotional disks and CD's (you know, the ones where you can 100 free hours for trying their service). One very clever woman made Christmas ornaments from the CD's and a really neat desk clock from the diskettes. The web address is: www.neosoft.com/nikki/ --Ellen Stoune My good friend's son recently graduated from culinary school. For Christmas he and his son gave us a complete gourmet dinner prepared in OUR home. They treated us like king & Queen for an evening! -- Jim Prado, Connecticut I like to give gifts of aid to third world countries in the name of a friend or relative. I think these are currently offered by Alternative Gift Markets, Inc., the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) and Church World Services. To me this is truly special gift that will be remembered, and truly honors the person in whose name it's given. You really realize that you have a special relationship with someone who will understand and appreciate this type of gift. Along these lines are gifts that save rainforest; I think Nature Conservancy (Adopt an Acre Program)and the National Arbor Day Foundation have programs that do this. Also, a gift membership to an environmental organization is nice. --Name Withheld The most creatively frugal gift Ive ever was from my very creative and frugal adult daughter, who bought a large wooden cooking spoon and attached a little scroll to it which listed "101 uses for a wooden spoon." It has hung on my wall for several years as a reminder of what an original thinker she is! Total cost: about $3. She also one year gave a used book to each family member that captured who that person was. On the inside cover of each book she wrote a tribute, detailing why she thought that book was the "essence" of the person. All of us in the family still treasure those books. Total cost: about $1-2 per book. -- Maril Naples, Florida Last year a good friend was turning 65 just before the holidays. I knew she would say she has everything so a group of friends and I did something a little different. We did random acts of kindness to honor her on her special day. This included planting trees in Israel, sponsoring an up and coming actor at a local theater, and donating books to a day-care just to name a few ideas. Each person wrote what they did in a letter and all the notes were gathered in a beautiful velvet covered box and presented to her. Many of the acts of kindness carried well beyond her birthday and we called it the gift that keeps on giving! -- Linda Bradbeer, Toronto, Canada Last year I went on a Spring Break hiking trip in the Escalante, in Utah. I had never been there before and was amazed by the desert flora I saw there. A friend of mine at college, however, was from there and was planning on moving to California after graduation. I decided to make him a piece of Utah he could bring along. I filled a Nalgene bottle (a water bottle for hikers) with small pine cones, juniper twigs, pebbles, berries, and these funny little paper seed balls that grow on bushes there. Back at school, I bent a thin green branch into a circle and suspended the natural objects from it with invisible thread. It was a lovely mobile. This could be done with objects from any ecosystem. -- Susannah Stevens " 58% of Americans say they would be willing to give up one day of pay per week in exchange for one day off per week to spend more time with family and friends.
