What is a good gift for a baby's first Christmas - I am looking for something more like bonds?
something that will increase in value

What is out there -

Any other valuable ideas would be great

If you are in the U.S., you can buy a U.S. savings bond at any bank. We did that for my husband's nephew when he was born.

In order to put it in the baby's name - you will need to know his social security number. At least that was true when we did it - the kid is like 16 now! lol

If you're in the US you can go to a bank and buy EE bonds which can be saved and used for their education. A $50 bond will mature at $100.

For the kids in our family we usually get a very small gift and bond because they get WAY too many gifts.

Bonds are definitely the way to go...try the EE series. Depending on how much you actually want to spend, you could also try buying education credits...there are many programs out there. Normally, that is for a larger amount of money. You may even want to buy a little bit of stock at this point in time. The stock could sit long enough, it will definitely increase in value. Try a bank of some sort.....

A U.S. PROOF coin minted the year the child was born (this will have a sentimental value as well as a monetary value).
Coins such as:

American Eagle Silver Proof coin.
American Buffalo Gold Proof coin.



A U.S. Series I Savings Bond.

A CD (ensure that the bank is FDIC insured).

Common or preferred stock in a good, stable company.

That's a good idea...an education savings bond. Another idea is buying stock in a company children like such as Disney or Mattel. Many or these stocks look cute and can be framed and hung on a wall.

u dont say where ur from

but in the UK we have premium bonds which dont increase in value but u do have a chance of winning money each month and is easy to keep saving each year....


~ Mystic Dreams ~
HAHA. I'm called Lorna too :)

But yes, we do have premium bonds in the UK, where you can win money. Or you could save money for them, which will mature when they leave for university for example, to help them along the way. My Grandad did that for me.

I would get CD's for your baby.

CD Basics

CD’s pay you interest on your money very much like a savings account, but your earnings are typically higher with a CD. Go ahead and compare for yourself: you should find that CD’s pay a higher APY than a savings account.

Why Do CD’s Pay More Than Savings?

When you buy a CD, your bank is doing you a favor by paying you higher interest. Why would they do you any favors? They expect that you will return the favor by keeping your money in the CD for a specified period of time. This gives them some certainty and ability to use your money for other purposes (such as lending it to other customers or investing it).

How do CD’s Work?

Getting a CD is easy. Simply tell your bank or credit union that you’d like to buy a CD. They’ll most likely have a simple form with some disclosures. Then, they move the money into the CD for you. You don’t need an actual certificate – usually you’ll just see a distinct category for the deposit on your statements.

CD’s pay interest at some point. You can choose to reinvest that interest, or spend it. I suggest reinvesting if you’re really trying to make the money grow. Once you start earning interest on your interest (compounding) your account grows faster.

When your CD matures you usually have a window (10-15 days in many cases) of time to decide what to do next. Usually, your bank will automatically reinvest into a new CD if you don’t give them alternate instructions. Make sure you know the policy, and that you give proper instructions if you don’t want the money rolled into a new CD.

savings bonds are a great idea. babies won't remember this anyway and when they are older they get way to many toys that they don't play with them. I have found with my kid he is less overwelmed and plays better with less. so thumbs up on the bond idea. also maybe a savings account that gets interest. you could add to it for other special occasions and holidays and birthdays.
