Teach Kids to Save Money Using SparkGift. Giving a Gift of Stock Just Became Easy!
It’s almost graduation time! Are you still looking for a gift to give the graduate in your life? Maybe you’re looking for a gift for someone else with a birthday or other special occasion coming up? That’s where SparkGift comes into play! SparkGift is a company that makes it easy to give a gift of stock and bonds to friends and family.
Today, many Americans just aren’t saving enough and SparkGift is trying to change that by turning everyday gifts into meaningful investments. The goal of SparkGift is to help make investing more accessible to the general public by letting people buy small investments as gifts. For example, you can give a gift of $20 of Google, Apple or GE stock.

How does SparkGift work?
