What do you get someone for the big 100?

Same as you give a year old....diapers, lots of them.

The person in question may like diapers and a binky a little too much.

It's not for him - it's for his mother, who will surely feel snubbed if I don't come up with something for her little one. He's just an infant and a boy infant at that. He'll be more interested in the wrapping paper.

How about this as it shows that you are thinking about both of them. http://www.onestepahead.com/product/27217/1013/117.html

That would be great except she has two cupboards full of that stuff. I'm telling you, she buys that kid EVERYTHING! And she has all these yuppie friends who have $150 outfits they bought for their infants that still have the tags on them, that they then pass down to her.

QUIT FRIGGIN' BUYING STUFF, PAMELA!!! SAVE SOMETHING FOR THE REST OF US TO BUY!!!

Nephew. The savings bond is a good idea. Or maybe I could start a stock portfolio for him that reinvests the dividends, then he'd have a hunk o' cash by the time he graduates.

It's too bad that savings bonds are yielding pretty low (historically speaking) rates right now:

I Bond: 4.8%
EE Bond: 3.5%

The I Bond will always beat inflation but the new rules for the EE Bond make it a fixed rate...

Yeah, get him started with a stock portfolio....or even a simple dividend reinvestment plan for one company. Like GE, they have a dividend yield alone of 2.3%, over a decade it will surely beat any savings bond considering how much the stock price will (likely) continue to increase.

Just a thought
