Yeah, I have a niece who is 5 and I'm thinking of getting her a 1g Gold bar on birthdays and christmas, hopefully she will get the bug and realise the importance of this rather than being wasteful and buyinh needless things. Wish I had an uncle that would have given me a 1g gold bar every christmas lol

Do people give gold as gifts? I'm looking to start this early for family members, instead of them wasting money they can have something to start out their journey. 
To start off I have chosen to give 1g gold bars
Would be great to hear everyones thoughts on this and if they do a similar thing

All my girlfriends get pearl necklaces and they dont cost me penny and they can have unlimted amount of them. They can shove off if they want any gold and silver from me though - its all mine mwhahahahh!

another day and another cheeky lil purchase, a couple of 1g bars courtesy of @VeracityM will be giving these as gifts to family members. Start them early on the gold 😉

My girlfriend is from a culture that values gold, and while she is confused about me stacking coins, she is into gold jewelry, chains and bracelets mostly.
She is getting a budget for Christmas and Birthdays rather than the jewelry itself as she is convinced I don't know the first thing about real gold and she needs to get it herself 😅

Of course !  It might be a little foreign in the western culture.  But in other cultures like Indian and Chinese, it is common to give gold as gifts especially for weddings and special anniversaries. Not being snobbish but I think 1g of gold may not go down too well !  😊

When she's 16 and has 50k worth of gold she cant access she's going to hate you 😂

I love the idea of gifting gold. I much prefer gold or cash to gift cards for myself but do feel it's not the best gift for children (in my family anyway). The wife gets gold/silver in low premium jewellery/art form every now and then - I just think it's better than yet another pair of shoes or another bag plus it makes the shopping experience more fun for me 😁.
We recently recieved 1g of gold during an Indian festival which was a great gift to receive vs a pink bank note. I think gold and PMs works for adults. 
My son, 6, enjoys coins, but he leans to older coins, and I enjoy the history lesson with him. I worry too much about him loosing/damaging bits of gold.
Bits of PM that I 'claim' to have purchased for him mostly just sit in a box at the bank waiting to be sold one day. Which is no fun really and I'm pretty sure the returns are poor given the costs to store. 
Now when asked by friends what they should buy I lean to recommending cash right into the childrens JISA's that are held with Wealthify or HAPI. My wife hates the idea- vs having something to open on the special day.
But for me, I don't have to worry about storing PM's or excess toys and these services help aggressively grow investments over the long term which is much more beneficial for the kids in my opinion.
A wonderful touch, and the point I'm using to convince the MRS is that family/friends can leave video or notes along with the money. These messages are stored 'forever'. 
The kids can watch/read these messages when they come to buy their first car/home or go into higher education. I hope it keeps them grounded and reminds them of all the people supporting them whether they're still here or not. 
I wish my friends and family did this for thier kids vs asking for a plastic batman doll to add to the pile. 
So from my POV - thoughts are gold and PMs are great for adults (with a similar mindset as me) otherwise a good Whisky or Wine tends to work. Coins for kids, not had luck with bars (I'm abit boring and scared of arty bars). Otherwise investing for the long term is surely a winner, though potentially not helping with popularity points in the short term. 👍

The pandas are silver and gold. The silver is actually 30g rather than 1 oz and in gold they have 1g and 20th oz and up https://www.bullionbypost.co.uk/gold-coins/gold-panda-coin/

Great presents gold as gifts, so if any of you are feeling generous please bare in mind pooor old bully who only owns one sov, as he's still stacking silver. So feel free to donate a kilo bar or two - to me  during this festive spirit! 😜
Seasoned sausages greetings and  drunken new year!
Best the Bull 👍🐮🎺🎄
