U.S. Savings Bonds can be used as a gift for any occasion--birthdays, weddings,
graduations, births, or special holidays. The list of things to celebrate with
bonds is endless. Bonds come in several
denominations, so you'll always find the gift
that fits your needs!
If you're buying a savings bond for a gift and you don't have the Social Security Number of the person you're buying the bond for, simply use your number. Even though your number will be printed on the bond, you'll incur no tax liability. Social Security Number is used for tracking purposes only, such as in cases where the savings bond is lost, stolen, or destroyed. Plan ahead--if you allow three weeks for your gift bond to be delivered to you, you'll have it in time to give to the person yourself. However, even if you wait until the last minute, just ask your bank to send the bond directly to the person. Then ask your bank for a gift certificate to include in a card or to give in person. The person you're buying for actually remembers you twice--once when given the certificate and later when the bond comes in the mail from the Federal Reserve Bank!
You can also buy bonds directly from our web site through Savings Bonds Direct. It's fast, easy, and convenient! Bonds are normally delivered within two weeks. If you're running short on time, print out our gift certificate. See also:
