		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>If you are looking for a unique inspirational gift, Fields of Israel Ltd. makes that search infinitely easier with the debut of its online gift store <a href="http://www.Biblical-Gifts.com" title="test" target="_blank">www.Biblical-Gifts.com</a>.   Fields of Israel has earned an international reputation as an exporter of dried flowers, fruits and natural products for use in design and decoration, over the last 20 years.  Until now, these products were not available for retail purchase outside of Israel.   After the opening of the Fields of Israel visitors' and training center in 2001, many requests were made by both Israeli and overseas visitors to set up an online store allowing everyone, not just those fortunate to live in the Holy Land, to buy both the uniquely spiritual products available in the visitors' center as well as a range of gifts hand-selected from amongst the best craftsmen and artists in the Holyland."After hearing time after time how delighted friends and relatives overseas were with our products that they had received as gifts, and after declining requests each week from visitors to our wholesale website who were interested in making retail purchases, we decided that we had to bring our products to a larger audience" says Zvi Livne, owner and General Manager of Fields of Israel Ltd. </P><P>  "The products we offer have been chosen carefully to meet the needs of all our customers," says Janice Kaye, the General Manager of Biblical-Gifts.com.

Biblical-Gifts.com offers a wide range of exclusive hand-crafted products, made out of flowers & fruits grown in the land of the Bible, plus a selection of the best Christian gifts and souvenirs available in the Holy Land.. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>Ask first time parents-to-be what baby shower gifts they would like to receive. Watch their response -- you'll quite likely see a look of real confusion on their faces! Or maybe they'll come up with a stock answer like "diapers" or something similar.Exactly what a new arrival needs is not obvious to someone who's never had a baby before. And many times, guests are in no better position either, when it comes to deciding on baby shower gifts. Of course, there's a lot more to baby showers than just gifts. But helping parents to stock up for the new arrival is an important part of these celebrations. </P><P>That's why the following list of top five baby shower gifts can be quite useful. Top gift #1: MonitorsMonitors are excellent anxiety-busters, especially for first-time parents. That's why they hold the No.1 position on this list. Once they can listen to the baby from anywhere in the house, parents find their confidence levels zooming. The latest monitors are very sensitive and can pick up the slightest sound from baby, even her breathing. </P><P>If your budget allows for it, take it one step further and buy a video monitor. That'll really ease anxiety. However, they are much more expensive, so perhaps this can be a joint baby shower gift from two or more guests. Top Gift #2: Playtime mate for babyBabies love to play. Anything that helps them play and be active not only keeps them engaged, but also stimulates all round development. </P><P>One of the best products for them is an activity gym or playpen. This is a soft cloth mat surrounded by a baby-friendly structure of bars and arches with many different toys suspended from various points. Baby gets to play in a safe environment. Basic activity gyms are excellent baby shower gifts. There are also more advanced ones that include noisemakers and a variety of toys. </P><P>The suspended objects have different colors and textures to help develop baby's cognitive abilities. There are also excellent portable gyms and playpens available to help parents move around with baby. These are lightweight and designed to be easy to carry around. Top Gift #3: Baby slingMost babies love being carried around in a sling. It's the next best thing to being cuddled in mom's arms. </P><P>Many parents have had the experience where babies get restless and cry while they use other types of carriers, but immediately calm down when put into a sling. Baby slings are believed to foster a closer parent-child bond. Whether that's true or not, slings do have another great advantage -- they leave your hands free to do other things. That's definitely a big plus and is a reason why this baby shower gift is highly appreciated. Top Gift #4: The baby travel packMoving around with baby can be a chore -- you have to pack a seemingly endless array of baby stuff even for short outings. </P><P>One way to ease this problem is to have one or more baby travel packs handy. What's a travel pack? Essentially, a diaper bag filled with baby necessities. It can include disposable diapers, a small toy or two, bib, complete change of clothes for baby, safety pins, and other supplies. It's a great advantage if the parents receive more than one travel pack. Then one pack can always be kept ready whenever they want to go. </P><P>No need to mess around with picking up and stuffing items into a diaper bag at the last minute. Top gift #5: Car seatLots of parents say that a well-designed car seat is a wonderfully useful baby shower gift to receive. In fact, it's useful from the moment they leave hospital with the baby. There are infant car seats available as well as infant-toddler convertible seats. The former can be used only till the baby is up to 22 pounds or so (typically). </P><P>While the latter can usually be used till the first birthday. Want more special gifts for showers? Check out this page for more information: <a href="http://www.baby-showers-advisor.com/diaper-cakes.html" target=new>http://www.baby-showers-advisor.com/diaper-cakes.html</a>Make sure these top five baby shower gifts are part of the event you're hosting. The guest of honor will end up thanking you long after the party gets over!. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>How many times has your anniversary come around and you quickly rush out to buy something, anything from a myriad of anniversary gifts and perfumes available. Everyone has probably been there, waiting until the last minute and then feeling a little guilty because the gift didn't quite say what you wanted it to say. Historically anniversary gifts and perfumes have consisted of things like cotton for the 2nd anniversary and ivory for the fourteenth. Who wants to give or receive those kind of gifts these days?Modern anniversary gifts and perfumes.Here's a suggestion if you're really not sure what to give your spouse. Why not try perfume for her or cologne for him. </P><P>Admit it, every once in a while you've smelled a certain fragrance on someone else that made you stop and really take notice, right? Sure everyone has. Why not go ahead and buy that special fragrance and give it as anniversary gifts and perfumes? It would make the perfect, personal gift that your spouse would enjoy and appreciate every time they put it on; and you would too.. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>HOUSTON, TX  May 17, 2004 -? Forgoing the traditional graduation gifts of pen sets, watches and the like, today's parents and families are looking to technology and the Internet for their graduation gifts.  Gifts like iPods, camera cell phones, DVD players, and online subscription services such as the Questia online library lead the way for this 2004 graduation season.Recognizing the consumer habits of their technology savvy offspring, parents are giving graduation gifts that appeal to appetites and lifestyles that are used to instant messaging, email, portable music devices, and online research.  In fact, 94% of youth ages 12-17 who have Internet access say they use the Internet for school research (Pew Internet & American Life Project).Parents who want a more academically oriented graduation gift are choosing to give a subscription to Questia, the world's largest online library.  A $19.95 monthly, $44.95 quarterly or $119.95 annual subscription provides 24/7 access to more than 440,000 books, journal, magazine, and newspaper articles, 5,000 research paper topics, and a research toolkit that includes a tool that auto-creates citations and bibliographies.  These parents know that a graduation gift of a Questia subscription will not only provide their graduates with a high quality, online library but will also equip them with the tools to do better research, both faster and easier from the safety and convenience of a dorm room or home.Questia subscribers can perform their own search of the more than 49,500 books and 392,000 articles or they can access over 5,000 research paper topics on the Questia website. </P><P> Each of the 5,000 research paper topics provides premier books and articles on the given topic with featured content hand-selected by academic librarians.  The complete list of research paper topics is easily accessible through an alphabetized listing or through the Questia search feature.  The Questia toolkit provides tools that save time and are convenient and easy to use.  For example, one tool allows a subscriber to automatically create properly formatted citations and bibliographies, another tool highlights text in a book, and another tool, the How to Write a Research Paper guide, provides research paper writing tips.Graduation gifts like pen sets seem as quaint and antiquated as typewriters and videocassette players.  Today's parents recognize the technology sophisticates they have raised and are giving graduation gifts that continue to reflect this trend.About QuestiaFounded in 1998, Questia Media, Inc., launched its revolutionary online library in January 2001, with powerful search and writing tools created specifically to help students do better research and write better papers. </P><P>Questia provides unlimited access to the full content of an extensive collection of books and journal articles, as well as a wide range of tools, including highlighter, markup, automatic footnotes and bibliography builder.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>The tradition of hosting a bridal shower for the bride to be grew out of a desire of the friends and family of the bride to get to know each other better, strengthen the bonds between new friends and offer moral support and assistance with marriage planning for the new brie. The idea of offering bridal shower gifts did not actually surface until some time in the late 19th century. Prior to this time, traditionally, a young woman would come into a marriage with a dowry intended to help a new family set up their home.Legend has it that the very first bridal shower originated in Holland when a young Dutch girl fell in love with a poor miller and the two had no money to set up her home. The girl's father refused to support her marriage to the poor miller, despite the fact that he had spent a lifetime helping those needier than he. Because the bride had no dowry due to her angry father, friends of the bride and groom joined together to shower the couple with gifts to help them set up their new home. </P><P>Thus, the bridal shower was born. In contemporary times a majority of brides do not come into a marriage with a dowry, and bridal shower gifts are almost a necessity, offering a new couple the opportunity to acquire the materials needed to set up their home. Most couples register for specific items including towels, linens, pots and pans and other household accessories.Typically bridal showers are thrown by friends, co-workers or members of the bride or groom's family. Not uncommonly, the maid or matron of honor hosts the bridal shower for the bride to be. This is not an exclusive privilege however, as it is not uncommon for a family member or close friend to also hold the shower.The purpose of a wedding shower should be to help the bride and groom acquire the items necessary to establish a first household, though this rule is not hard and fast. </P><P>Many brides who are re-marrying also enjoy all the benefits of a traditional shower thanks to a more relaxed atmosphere and expectation in modern times.Most brides to be register before their shower, though this isn't always the case. And while you can rest assured that if you purchase bridal shower gifts from a bridal registry your bride to be will be pleased, many ladies decide to acquire bridal shower gifts that are more personalized in nature. There are several couples who wed who don't necessarily need household items; in this instance it is always nice to "shower" the bride to be with pampering items including body scrubs, lotions and mini spa treatment items.Bridal showers are a fun way to celebrate the union of two people and provide the couple to be with keepsake and other cherished items that will not soon be forgotten.. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>GIFTS: GIVING TO THE BEGINNER GOLFERby A. HeathIt's golf season again! And you might be looking for a gift to give to someone who's just starting off in golf. So, here are some suggestions. These beginner golf gifts target those new golf souls... the ones who don't yet know what their in for, or the ones who are already hooked after just playing a few times. </P><P> Golf LessonsThe single best choice out of all gifts for the golf beginner is golf lessons. There's nothing that the beginning golfer can use more. It's even better than a set of clubs, because it will give him/her a chance to really decide if he/she likes the game and wants to stick with it. After all, golf can be extremely frustrating, but it's also highly addictive. Start them off right with a lesson and give them a good swing foundation. </P><P>Contact your local golf course or instruction facility to find out what options you have in your area.  Golf BooksIf you can't afford to buy golf lessons for the beginning golfer, at the very least, get him/her an instruction book or DVD. There are lot to choose from, many with the beginner in mind. Don't forget that along with frustrating and addictive, golf can also be intimidating, so help them to be better prepared for their experience. And even if you do decide on giving lessons, instruction books or DVDs are excellent complementary beginner golf gifts. </P><P>First Set of Golf ClubsA lot of new golfers start out by borrowing or renting their clubs when they play, so to help them along you may want to start him/her off with their own set of golf clubs. Don't go with anything extravagant or expensive with their first set. Clubs are usually a pretty personal choice, and it's probable that their first set won't be the one they stick with in the long term. This is even more important if you're buying the first set of clubs for a child, as they will most likely outgrow them by the next summer. If you do get a set of clubs, make sure you get a bag to go with it. </P><P>Driving Range MembershipIt's very common for a new golfer to want to just get out there and whack the ball! Actually, many experienced golfers want to do that. And while that may not be the best thing to do on the course, it's certainly fun to do at the driving range! You can give a membership to a local driving range. Other options include a gift certificate, ball tokens, or a 10 bucket pass. What the practice facility offers in the form of a membership or package deal will determine what options you have for these beginner golf gifts. Golf ShoesDepending on where he/she will be playing, the beginner golfer may need to wear golf shoesicon to get onto the course. </P><P>Check into this first, as many courses have rules in this regard. Consider buying a pair of either soft spiked shoes, or ones that can be converted to soft spikes, as this, too, is a requirement for some golf courses. If they don't need golf shoes right away, avoid choosing them as your beginner golf gift selection. We say this for a couple of reasons: 1) any type of shoe is hard to pick out as a gift, and the fit of a golf shoe is important for comfort, especially if you consider the amount of walking that a golfer does. 2) It's actually better for golfer's balance to practice without golf shoes, as the golfer cannot depend on the stability of the spikes to hold them in place. </P><P>An alternative to golf shoes as a beginner golf gift is the ever-present gift certificate, so they can pick out their own shoes. Golf Balls Like golf clubs, the type and brand of golf balls aren't important for the beginner. While you may want to consider compression when picking them out (the softer the hitter, the lower the compression), the type and construction of the golf ball will have very little bearing when he/she is first starting out. It would probably be a more appreciated gift if you were to personalize the balls with their name, nickname, or other custom logo, but that might make them all the more upset when the balls are lost (and they WILL be lost).Gloves and Accessories Don't forget the accessories! Gloves, tees, and ball markers are inexpensive items that will add a nice touch for beginner golf gifts. It's like giving a golf starter kit. </P><P>Get him/her a glove - it will make them feel more confident or credible when holding their clubs - like a "real" golfer! Remember, the right-handed golfer needs a left-hand glove (and vice-versa). And get them some tees (perhaps personalized) and a few ball markers. You don't want them to feel left out, do you?  Save the expensive and fancy golf gifts for another gift occasion. If the recipient of your gifts decides to give up golf, then the expensive or extravagant gifts would be a waste. If he/she sticks with the game, then the more elaborate golf gifts will be more appreciated down the road. </P><P>For now, focus on simple beginner golf gifts to get them started.. </P>]]></content:encoded>
