Loved by Families
What parents say after giving
a gift that grows.
“We added KidStocks to our baby shower registry. Guests loved it — instead of another onesie, they gifted shares of Disney. So much more meaningful.”
“Grandma sends $25 in Apple stock every birthday now. The kids get excited checking their portfolios. Way better than a gift card that gets spent in a day.”
“Setting up the fund took literally 2 minutes. I shared the link and within a week, our baby had $400 in stocks from family. This is the future of gifting.”
“The gift page is beautiful — it feels like opening a real present, not a financial transaction. My sister-in-law was so impressed she set one up for her kids too.”
“No more plastic toys that end up in the closet. Every birthday and holiday, family gifts stocks now. My 6-year-old actually understands what owning a share means.”
“I wanted to leave something meaningful for my grandkids. KidStocks made it simple — I gift $50 in stocks every month. No app needed, just a beautiful link.”

Common Questions
Everything families want to know.
No. Gift senders never need the child's SSN. They simply choose a stock, write a message, and pay — all through a beautiful web page. Only the parent needs to provide identity information when creating the custodial account.
A custodial account is a legally protected investment account for a minor, managed by a parent or guardian. The assets belong to the child, but the parent controls them until the child reaches the age of majority in their state (typically 18-21). It's the standard, regulated way to invest on behalf of a child.
All securities are held in custody through Alpaca Securities LLC, a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA/SIPC. SIPC protects against the loss of cash and securities held at a failed SIPC-member firm, up to $500,000. All data is encrypted with 256-bit AES encryption.
Yes! You can share your personalized KidStocks gift link anywhere — add it to your Babylist registry, share it in baby shower invites, or text it to family. Guests can gift stocks in seconds without downloading an app.
Gift senders can choose from 50+ well-known companies kids and families love — Apple, Disney, Tesla, Nike, Google, Roblox, Amazon, and more. All gifts are fractional shares, so any amount works.
Creating an account is free. There are no monthly subscription fees. A small processing fee applies when a gift is sent (starting at $2.99). There are no trading commissions.
