One of My Favorite Gifts

One of my favorite gifts to give is a framed stock certificate. One year I bought a couple each month and then gave them to all of the family for Christmas. Another year I gave them to each of my friends for their birthdays. Cameron has a framed stock Build A Bear on her wall that I bought from Frame A Stock. With Valentine’s Day coming up, I’m thinking of buying both the girls Disney stocks. It seems like it has been a long time since we went to Disney, and the girls really miss it. This seems like a great way to bring the girls a touch of Disney.

Frame A Stock is a site that allows you to buy one share of stock in a select group of stocks such as Disney, McDonald’s, Build A Bear, and DreamWorks.  The stock certificate comes framed so that it can be proudly displayed.  Because it’s a true ownership in the company, owners receive dividend checks, annual reports, and any other perks that come along with stock ownership.  The benefits are the same for the owners of this one stock as the ones that own several shares.

I love the idea of giving individual framed stocks. It makes for such an interesting idea, and I’ve never given one that wasn’t truly appreciated.  It’s so fun to watch someone’s eyes light up when receive their own personal stock that is handpicked – a favorite store of theirs.  If you’re looking for a unique gift for someone special in your life, consider an individual stock.  If you have any questions, let me know..I’d be glad to tell you more about my experiences.
