Giving stock as a gift

[Sr. Mints]

I received a silver maple leaf (and sometimes the odd novelty silver ounce) from my grandma on birthdays and sometimes Christmas for years, and I now have 40-something.

Maybe consider going the precious metal route?

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.

How about a piece of celluloid from an actual movie? Then when he's watching Fox and the Hound or something he can proudly show off the piece that he owns.

At least a B share, which is what I'm considering for myself (a few baby berkies).
