Stock Certificate Gift

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.

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.

Bring Happiness and Joy to a Childs Life with the Disney Stock Certificate at www.UniqueGiftStocks.com

i want to buy one share of Disney stock certificate for the baby shower. But the baby is not born yet. do I have to register the stock with the baby's name on it?

Very good and generous idea,

You have several options

1- You really should by the stock in the name of the baby's mother or father as custodian for the baby (But you need the baby's name AND social security number

2-You could go to your broker and buy the stock in your account. When you get the baby's name and soc.sec #, you can give instructions to have the stock registered in the name of the baby's mother or father as custodian for the baby
You could check with your broker, some of them do have gift certificates, that may fit. Since you bought the stock from them they could do this just by registering it as "the parents of the new baby"

3-Contact the transer agent for Disney,
Let them know what you want to do, they maybe able to hold the stock in the custodian's name until you get all the details
AND you should sign up for a DRIP, this means a that all dividends are re-invested into partial shares which will be held at the transfer agent

Regardless how you do it, as long as you bought the stock, you could make up you're own certificate (many programs do this and the templates may be on-line) and delivery it at the time of the shower.

Hope I've been of some help

Price: $8.29 $8.29

Security watermarked paper
Consecutive numbering
1-part certificate book with stub

Oneshare.com wants a $39 transfer fee. I don't need a frame just the certificate.

The $39 transfer fee is pretty reasonable, including the frame! Most brokerage firms charge between $25 and $50 to issue a stock certificate. And of course you have to first pay a commission on the purchase of $7 to $20.

I want to make a fake stock certificate for a gag gift- any ideas
But how can I make one? Where do I go to print one??

As long as you don't use the name of a bona fide company, you should be okay. Google the name of the fake company you want to use to see if, in fact there is a real company out there.

In addition, you should have a disclaimer on the "certificate" that it is not a security instrument, has no value, is not associated with any business entity, it is a parody and not to be taken seriously.

I received a stock certificate a few years ago as a gift, however I don't know how to sell it.

To sell a stock certificate you must have some form of documentation to a stock broker to sell your stock of a company(s) and they will send you a check or transfer to your bank account.

Here is a link that I found it to be useful:
