The simplest way is to designate Skidmore College or another charitable interest as the primary beneficiary of the policy. This is something a donor might consider if the original purpose of the policy is no longer relevant. An example would be a policy that was purchased years ago to provide added security for children's education expenses in the event of the policyholder's untimely death. The donor retains ownership of the policy, retains the right to change beneficiaries again if desired, and has access to its cash value if needed. Another method is to make Skidmore both owner and beneficiary of the policy. Unlike the previous method, this would be an irrevocable arrangement, and as such would qualify the donor for immediate tax savings. The donor can make this arrangement whether a policy is fully paid up or whether there are still premium payments being made. Finally, life insurance can be used in connection with other planned gift vehicles such as a charitable remainder trust to replace assets for heirs. For example, if a donor makes a gift through a charitable remainder trust, he or she is likely to realize significant tax deductions. Those savings can offset the cost of purchasing and paying premiums on a policy to "replace the wealth" for an heir or heirs. 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.

I know this is SO I know this is SO unoriginal, but you can't miss with Brio train stuff with kids that age.

I guarantee it will be the envy of every child there, useful FOREVER, and enchant the birthday child. "Dare to be happy! ALways take a chance! But never put frogs in your underpants!" By Gazpacho at Fri, 09/16/2005 - 1:56am | login or register to post comments Not so original but my Not so original but my Jasper LOVED Lego when he hit 4. It can be hard to find sets that aren't based on movies or cartoons (grrrr) but they're out there. Magic School Bus anything. Space seems to be big with most kids. We have a zillion glow in the dark stars and planets that look like they do through a microscope in the boys' room. Throw in a cheap black light and you're a hit. And beading kits with some super-excellent beads. They love it and will probably make you something beautiful. Jazz is into sea theme beads right now but he always goes back to wood or colourful glass and clay. Games are big- Kerplunk and Snakes and Ladders get used alot because the little brother can play but Jasper's favourite is chess. Any help? By rudi at Thu, 09/15/2005 - 3:35am | login or register to post comments I think the beading kit I think the beading kit idea sounds awesome. He's a crafty little guy. Thank you so much. BTW...love his name. I never thought about "Jazz" as a nickname, but my friend started calling my Jasper that last week. That's so hot. *giggle By Jaspersmama at Thu, 09/15/2005 - 3:45am | login or register to post comments Hmm... Lets see. Books (this is one of my favorite book publisher Barefoot Books ), puzzles, model airplanes (age appropriate of course) Frisbees (They make some really cool ones nowadays) Oh and hpmerry's specialty, a hand made super hero cape! ---- When I Die, I Want To Sail Off On A Friendship ---- By redmomma at Thu, 09/15/2005 - 3:22am | login or register to post comments Hey Mama, I checked out the Hey Mama, I checked out the Barefoot Books site.

Housewarming Gift A housewarming

How to Select a Housewarming Gift - eHow.com Clear Instructions on How To Do (just about) Everything Web eHow.com Home Personal Care & Style Center Etiquette How to Select a Housewarming Gift A housewarming party is traditional when someone moves into a new home. Guests generally bring a thoughtful gift to the new homeowners and get a chance to eat, drink and informally tour the new house. Steps: 1. Consider the circumstances of the new homeowners. If they are well established, they probably don't need basics like small kitchen appliances or towels. If they are just starting out, however, these might be appreciated. 2. Bring a gift basket filled with gourmet foods, wine and/or useful items for the house or garden. 3. Consider outdoor needs. A new address plaque, a planter, a personalized doormat or a charming garden bench can all be welcome gifts. For use inside the home, bring a houseplant or indoor herb garden. 4. Give a local travel guide or a subscription to a local magazine or newspaper if the newcomers are from out of the city or state. It's a great way to get them acquainted with the new neighborhood. Maps are also a good idea. 5. Consider a book on interior design, landscaping or architectural styles. A cookbook can also be a great gift. 6. Give a gift certificate for a meal at a local restaurant, or tickets for a local sporting event or concert. A gift certificate for the local home improvement store will also be appreciated. 7. Make sure anything you buy can be exchanged or returned by the homeowners if they decide not to keep it. Tips: Don't feel like you have to spend a lot of money. A basket of homemade cookies or a bottle of wine both make a great gift. Sometimes an offer of help is much appreciated. Give a coupon for a meal to be brought in, help in the yard or a couple of hours of free babysitting. Warnings: If you don't know the new homeowners well, avoid choosing art, interior accents or things such as towels that may not fit in with the decor. Tips from eHow Users: Gift tip by eHow Friend I have found that if the homeowners have children - no matter what the age - it's always nice to remember the children (if you're bringing a gift). It doesn't need to be very much, perhaps stickers, or a plaque or picture for their new room. Rate this tip: Registered or not Find out if they are registered for their housewarming. I have seen more and more people registering at home specialty stores. That way you can get something that they really want, or at least get an idea of the color scheme they are working with.

Romantic Language: GIFTS For some valentine men, the language of gifts speaks of love and caring. Putting extra thought into a gift and making it personal & special communicates "I love you" to him.

Give him satin boxer shorts, available in red or black, monogrammed with first initials within two interlocking hearts! Silk Boxer Shorts-Red 4. Romantic Language: QUALITY TIME For this romantic valentine guy, your gifts should include time you will spend together. This will speak "I love you" to him more than the fanciest package. Present your valentine gift during a romantic dinner for two. Plan a romantic get-away weekend. Or stay home & have a picnic in front of the fireplace! 5. Romantic Language: ACTS OF SERVICE For this valentine man, think of all the little things you could do to make his life a little easier. If you do, he will feel loved!
