Q. I am considering a gift for the Doctor that delivered my child. What is the traditional gift for such an event?
I was thinking a 'silver dollar' or something similar.
Thanks.
Just some info:
The doctor is a Military Doctor, so he doesnt get 'phat paid' for doing a good job.
Also, he did such a wonderful job, I think he deserves a small gift...

A. I know that people will say you are paying enough either out of pocket or through insurance for the birth of your baby. However, I did feel compelled, when my daughter was born to get a small gift for the doctor. I just felt that all the nurses, assistants and the doctor in the practice were so amazing and made me feel so comfortable for my 9 months, I really wanted to give a more personal thank.you.
So about a month or so after my daughter was born I went and bought a few cookie tins with "Mrs. Fields" cookies in it. I stopped by the office one afternoon after lunch and dropped them off with a thank you note and picture. That way it was a thank you to the entire office for such excellence in care.
They were so appreciative. It was nice because it was something for the whole office to enjoy. And the money was nominal, I spent under $20. It made me feel good to give them that token of appreciation.

How should $40K in gift money for a first time home purchase be distibuted to avoid taxes?
Q. My in-laws are being gracious enough to gift $40K. How should the money be transffered so as to avoid having to pay taxes on it. We are a family of four, myself, wife, and two sons (ages 5-9). If the answer involves giving gifts to the kids, how does gift money get to hime builder?
A. You have no tax consequences from the gift although your in-laws might as gift taxes are assessed on the donor, not the recipient. The annual Gift Tax exclusion amount is currently $12,000 per recipient for each donor. To avoid the Gift Tax, they each can give you and your wife $20,000. Bingo, no Gift Tax.

A. Christmas is the time of year when many families spend more money than they have to create a holiday to remember for their children. With the economy in a downward spiral, saving where you can is important. Christmas is a time of giving, and this is a perfect chance to teach your children to give back.
Giving back
There are many families that are in worse economic shape than you are. Taking the family to a soup kitchen to volunteer during the holiday season will help make it memorable for everyone. It will also help your children appreciate what they have much more.
Thrift and consignment stores
Shopping at thrift stores you can find many items that can be the perfect gift for your child. Most items are gently used and look brand new. You may find the occasional new item that still has the tag on. Starting in these stores is the perfect way to find a multitude of gifts at a fraction of the cost.
Dollar stores
Looking at stores such as the Dollar Store or Five Below you can find some great gifts at a cheap price. Purchasing several of these types of gifts can help fill under the tree and stockings. This can help save money while still making Christmas look plentiful.
Pollyanna
If you have a large family buying many gifts can be daunting. A fantastic way to save money is to do a Pollyanna gift exchange. This is basically putting everyoneâs name in a hat and drawing a name of one person to purchase a gift. This will save an enormous amount of money. Instead of buying gifts for ten people you will only be buying for one person.
Cut your gift list
When economic times are good, giving to everyone can make one feel wonderful. Now may be the time to take a look at the list of people you normally give gifts to and decide who you can eliminate from gift giving. This will probably be the hardest part to do as you donât want to offend anyone. You can choose to give a nice Christmas card instead. In these times it is necessary.
The important thing to remember is Christmas is a time to enjoy your family and appreciate your loved ones. While it may be a challenge for children to understand making a memorable Christmas does not mean you have to spend a lot of money.
