Young adults or teenagers can be very hard to buy for. If you are contemplating what kind of gift to buy your teen for their birthday, graduation, or any holiday, this will interest you. Instead of giving a traditional gift like clothes or gift cards, many parents are deciding to give their teen an investment gift.
There is a new company called Spark Gift that makes investment gift giving possible. Spark Gift was created on the belief that one financial gift can spark a lifetime of saving and investing. Spark Gift makes it easy to give stocks and index funds as gifts. The process is simple. All you need to gift is the parent’s email address and anyone can send an investment gift for the benefit of a child.
For teens, investment gifts can really act as teaching tools. For example, instead of giving your teen a $50 iTunes gift card, you could give them $50 of Apple stock. The process of receiving an investment gift can spark incredibly valuable discussions about saving and investing at an early age.
Here’s a great reason to look into Spark Gift this week!
