Priceless Gifts that Keep on Giving

Gift giving season is quickly approaching folks! And I'm not talking about Christmas, either. The spring months ahead will be loaded with holidays and special events that will sneak up on you quickly if you don't prepare. Here are a few scenarios and gift ideas to "go with" to give you a jump on the upcoming gift giving marathon that many fail to plan for this time of year!

For the Graduate: Teach your teen about money and stocks with "I'm a Shareholder" by the folks at Giveashare.com. For only $13.95, the gift of financial literacy is both practical and fun. It is designed to grab kid's attention with full, vivid colors, stunning graphics, and engaging exercises, This book targets kids ages 8-25 but many adults would find it informative, too...I sure did! Pair this book with a REAL share of stock (experts say that Wallstreet is on sale right now!) and you have a gift that will be memorable, and potentially lucrative! Choose a share that any teen would love: Disney, Nintento, Nike, Starbucks...the choices are endless. Prices vary, so shop around for a stock option that is in your budget range!

For the Bride and Groom: Can't afford to buy something that's on the gift registry? Don't feel guilty! Just be sure to look at the registry and come up with a gift that will compliment their taste, style, and personality. Check out this personalized stamp that is both practical and fun for less than $50. Toss in some stationary and envelopes and you have a fabulous and classy gift that won't break the bank, but will also be used for many years to come!

For Mom and Dad: No one said that you can't combine gifts for Mother's Day and Father's Day. Just be sure to recognize them with a nice card or handwritten note on the "day of" and communicate to them that a joint gift is coming this year that they both can enjoy! Have parents that love to travel? How about this pair of passport wallets? Only $39.99! Toss in a few travel guides and travel sized toiletries and you have a pretty cool gift for under $50.

For Baby: Gift giving for new arrivals is so much fun, so get creative with it! I just love these BabyPack Pads by Buttoned Up...they are so cute and practical! From diapers to baby formula, antibiotic ointment to cotton swabs, or water bottles to kleenex, new parents will never the leave the house under prepared for any situation parenthood may bring.Only $6.99 each and would make a great complimentary gift to a diaper bag or stress reduction kit for the new mommy! Don't you just love these?
