What's the last day I can send a Christmas gift?
Christmas Day itself. There's nothing to ship, so the claim link reaches their email or phone within seconds of you paying — you can send it from the kitchen on Christmas morning. There is no cutoff date to miss.
Can I put a stock gift under the tree?
Yes. Instead of sending by email or text, generate a printable QR code — wrap it, put it in a stocking, or slip it into a Christmas card. They scan it to claim.
What's a good amount for a Christmas stock gift?
Christmas gifts on Beestow commonly land between $25 and $100, and gift exchanges usually cap at $20 or $25. Gifts start at $20, with a small flat service fee shown upfront before you pay.
Is this a good Secret Santa or gift-exchange present?
It fits well, for two reasons: the $20 minimum matches where most exchange budgets sit, and it can't duplicate another gift in the pile. It also travels — no need to carry anything to the party.
Does the recipient need a brokerage account?
No, and neither do you. They create a free Beestow account in seconds to claim, then redeem the cash value to any major brokerage — Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard, E*TRADE, Merrill Edge and more — or straight to a bank account.
Does the recipient own the shares?
No. A Beestow gift is a prepaid gift whose value is linked to the stock's market performance. When they redeem, Beestow transfers the cash value to their brokerage or bank account — they receive cash, not securities.
What if the stock drops after Christmas?
The value is based on the live price at the moment they choose to redeem — not when you sent it. They control the timing, so they can hold and wait. Gifts never expire.
