I think the cost of one share and the related printing/acquisiton costs will make the actual share of little value. For instance, my broker charges nearly $100 to process and import a certificate. So you're going to have costs to both print and recieve a cert, as well as 'cash it in'.

I like the idea (and may copy it some day), but not as a "value for the future" but as a "holy shart I am 5 and own some of Disney I am gonig to tell all my friends my uncle bought me part of Disney" angle.

In short:

Purely financial Gift: RESP contribution

Awesome Uncle Gift: Framed share of Disney. Tell the parent's it's worth $$, but tell the kid HE FUNKING OWNS DISNEY.
