Abstract: A system and method for gift certificates of securities, other financial instruments, commodities, or other assets are disclosed. In the case of stock, a purchaser enters gift certificate parameters including company name and denomination, as well as payment information. These parameters, together with the market price of the stock, determine the number of shares (which may be a non-integer number) that are being gifted. A provider generates an identifier, part or all of which may be incorporated into a physical or electronic gift certificate for delivery to a recipient who may claim the stock. A database maintains records of the gift certificates that have been purchased and claimed.
