Need advice on giving an investment gift?

[La Jolla Renter]

I have a lot of friends popping out kids lately and want to give them some sort of $250 investment as a gift.

I am looking for something that is meaningful, prudent, beats the market etc.

Anyone have the perfect solution?

I’m going to go contrarian here. Why not buy like 10 shares of citibank or some other cheaply priced bank stock? I mean, the entire sector is in the trenches, and not all the banks will fail. Who knows, maybe you pick the one that recovers. For fun, each new kid, buy a different bank. A few of the kids will end up happy, and a few will endup with worthless shares. It also teaches kids that life isn’t fair 🙂

They may have already opened 529 accounts for their kids, you can always contribute to that. We like the idea of gold too (our baby is 2 months), I’d like to get her a gold coin every year. But that’s more than you’d like to spend.

Maybe we’re in another baby boom, lots of brand new babies in our neighborhood and our circle of friends.
