Weekly Savings Tip - A Gift They Will "Appreciate"

If you are looking for a financially sound gift this holiday season, consider giving a gift that will keep on giving and be worth more in the future. Here are some financially responsible ideas that can help others start saving for their future.

U.S. Savings Bonds or I-Bonds have a high rate of return and often cannot be touched for a period of years, allowing their value to grow with time.

For something more memorable, consider giving U.S. mint proof coin sets. They can also grow slightly in value and because their finish is brighter than normal coins, they make great presents!

An investment in stocks can also make a great gift. There is no guarantee that stocks will grow in value and some may even lose value, but there are some that have very minimal risk. Consider purchasing stock in what the recipient might like (e.g. stock in a toy company for small children).
