Question by ATL 2006: Do you think a stock certificate for a christening gift is a good idea?
My husband and I are the godparents of our best friends’ baby boy. Should we go with something more religious? I don’t want to buy silver monogrammed rattles, cups or anything b/c I know he will receive tons of that kind of thing.

i think savings bonds are great ideas. for my best friends baby i got him a picture frame with a beautiful cross on it and a savings bond…his mother loved it.
What do you think? Answer below!
My son got 3 stocks ($ 100 worth) when he was born. Fifteen years later, these stocks are worth $ 600.00 (between splits and reinvestments of dividends). I think that stocks, bonds and even precious metals are a decent gift for a new born.
Depends which stock it is. A stock is good because it will teach the kid about value.
I recommend getting him a gold stock.
