Spark Gift makes giving stock certificate gifts easy and online

Disclosure:  This post is sponsored by Spark Gift.

You know how for some people you just don’t know what to get them? Honestly I am dreading shopping for Mother’s Day because I know my mom and mother-in-law are sick of the same old flowers, chocolates and slippers.  Then the next big event is my son’s birthday which means I will have friends and family asking what to get him, because you know he needs another plastic toy that he’ll break in a day. Don’t get me wrong there are so many amazing gifts out there but it can be overwhelming or maybe you just don’t want to add to the clutter.

Well Spark Gift is a website that has an amazing product offered. Spark Gift allows you to purchase shares of stocks and index funds! For example, you can buy $20 Disney stock, Apple, or Google stock. You choose the stock or fund and pay, they create a gift certificate with your choice of stock or fund ready to be delivered! It’s a gift that can last a lifetime as well as a tool to teach someone about investing.  I am thinking this is perfect for all those upcoming graduation parties we are going to be invited to!

Since so many people don’t have a savings or investment account, especially young people, stocks and funds can seem like a foreign language. In my family, my husband handles our retirement investments – I am better at everyday budgeting and saving but he is all about investing.

What’s the catch?

Spark Gift charges just $2.95 gifting service fees for up to $100 and a 4% fee for gifts above $100. Your purchase of stocks and funds can be as little as $20!

The possibilities are endless!

Whether you need a gift for mom, holidays, weddings, birthdays, graduations or anything else, Spark Gift is truly a unique gift idea and something that the person is not going to want to take back!

How cool would it be to say to someone “Hey I bought you some Google or Walt Disney” shares?” It’s a gamble, yes, as any stock is. But it can grow exponentially as well and encourage future investing. I know for me, now that my husband is investing our money, I find myself checking the stocks and reading up on various companies, whereas before it was all foreign to me.

So next time your walking down the aisle of another store looking for the perfect gift or browsing website after website, think about the person’s face if you were to hand them a stock certificate for their favorite company?
