No custodial account. No paperwork. No catch.
Everything that makes buying stock for a kid a hassle — gone.
Opening a custodial account (the old way)
- ✗Open and fund a brand-new brokerage account first
- ✗Identity paperwork and account minimums upfront
- ✗Ongoing fees can quietly drain a small gift
- ✗Locked to one brokerage until the child turns 18 or 21
- ✗Too much friction for a $50 birthday gift

Pick their stock
Choose Apple, Tesla, Nvidia, the S&P 500 ETF, or any company from our catalog. No financial expertise needed.
Set an amount
From $20 up. Add a personal note the child (or their parent) will see when the gift is opened.
Send by email, text, or QR
Deliver instantly, or print a QR code to tuck into a birthday card. Send it to the child or straight to a parent.
They cash out when ready
A parent or guardian creates a free account, verifies once, and transfers the cash value to any supported bank or brokerage. No rush — 2 years to redeem.
For the recipient
Here's what they experience
Worried it'll be confusing for them? It isn't. No account required to receive — just a few taps.
A personal notification arrives
They get an email, text, or QR code with your name and a message from you — it feels like a gift, not a link.
They claim in under 2 minutes
Free account via Google, Apple, or email. No brokerage account, no paperwork, no app to download.
They cash out whenever they're ready
The value tracks live with the stock price. They choose when to redeem — to any brokerage or bank, on their own timeline.
What their dashboard looks like
For every kid in your life
Newborns & babies
Start a market-linked gift the day they're born — no account to open, no minimum to meet. A baby-shower gift no one else is giving.
Your own kids
Skip the custodial-account setup and give your child a gift linked to a company they recognize. You manage it on their behalf.
Nieces & nephews
Give a gift that still means something at their next birthday — without needing any of their account details.
Godchildren & milestones
Birthdays, graduations, first communions, turning 18 — any milestone is a moment for a gift that can grow.
What if the stock drops?
The cash value is based on the live price at the moment they choose to redeem — not when you send it. They control the timing and can wait for a recovery.
Give a gift that can grow with them
Gift a kid a market-linked share of Apple or the S&P 500 — no custodial account, no brokerage account, no paperwork.
