Searching for a Unique Gift?
You Found It!

Acknowledge an upcoming milestone with something valueable, enduring, educational, and FUN!

A share of stock in such great companies as Harley-Davidson, Avon, Hasbro, etc. will make a preferable alternative to the sweater that may not fit or the board game that ends up at the bottom of a closet.

Your gift is to create a Direct Investment Plan (DRIP) account and fund it with the first share of the company stock.

And this unique gift is much more than just the share of stock. It's a way to build wealth for the future by investing regularly (even small amounts) without fees or commissions.

What Is a DRIP?

DRIP is an acronym for Direct Investment Plan. Hundreds of excellent companies allow individuals to set up accounts on the books and records of the company. That way they can cut out the middleman and invest directly into their own accounts.

After you setup the account, when the next birthday, graduation, or other milestone rolls around, you can contribute additional funds to it. Or, of course, you can fund the account on a regular basis.

The lucky recipient of your gift will be able to make subsequent investments even if the amount available for investment is as little as $10 or $25.

This gift gives your loved one a head start in terms of building wealth for his or her long term needs.
