What's a good amount for a Mother's Day stock gift?
Most Mother's Day gifts on Beestow land between $25 and $100 — roughly what a bouquet and brunch would cost. Gifts start at $20, and a small flat service fee is shown upfront before you pay.
Does my mom need a brokerage account to receive it?
No. She creates a free Beestow account in seconds to claim, then redeems the cash value to any major brokerage — Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard, E*TRADE, Merrill Edge and more — or straight to a regular bank account. No brokerage account is needed on either side.
My mom isn't interested in the stock market. Is this still a good gift?
Yes, because she never has to engage with it. She can redeem the cash value to her bank account and spend it on whatever she likes. The stock is the story the gift is wrapped in, not a job she now has.
Does she actually own the shares?
No. A Beestow gift is a prepaid gift whose value is linked to the stock's market performance. When she redeems, Beestow transfers the cash value to her brokerage or bank account — she receives cash, not securities.
Can I send it as a card instead of an email?
Yes. Instead of sending by email or text you can generate a printable QR code, so you can hand it over on the day or tuck it inside a card.
What if the stock drops before she redeems?
The value is based on the live price at the moment she chooses to redeem — not when you sent it. She controls the timing, so she can wait. Gifts never expire.
