Take Stock of This Year’s Gift List and Give a Piece of a Favorite Company

A gift unlike any other–not just another product to be forgotten –
but a real share of stock that lasts for years!

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (November 1, 2006) — This year, savvy holiday shoppers can give the gift of ownership in a favorite company — the perfect way to commemorate baby’s first Christmas; support a loved one’s addiction to all things Disney, Harley, Starbucks or Hershey; or to give a status gift that tops all others. At OneShare, shoppers can purchase an official, beautifully framed real share of stock in one of 130 public companies. A share of stock is a special gift that builds relationships and will last a lifetime. There is a share of stock that will suit everyone on the holiday gift list — from Apple groupies, Harley-Davidson aficionados, and Tiffany & Co. blue box lovers to tech heads, travel bugs, music maniacs, and movie fans.

Gift givers can purchase an official share of stock for $39, plus the price of the stock as listed on the stock exchange, in less than ten minutes at www.oneshare.com. Frames range from a complimentary hard matte paper frame to wood or brushed metal frames priced from $34–$75. In addition, gift givers can further personalize the real share of stock with a special engraved personalized message. The official certificates are beautiful works of art, often engraved with symbols of the company’s services, products, characters and history. Best of all, gift givers can select an official share of stock to match the recipient’s passions, without worrying about sizes, colors, batteries, fading or going out-of-style.

Additionally, each share of stock now comes with an illustrated OneShare Owner’s Manual, which covers everything from voting rights and investor relations. OneShare’s “My First Stock” collection of real stock certificates is a memorable gift to mark baby’s (and new parents’) first Christmas. For example, one framed share of DreamWorks, colorfully emblazoned with Shrek’s lovable face, can be personalized with a plaque that reads: “All your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them.”

Grandparents who want to buy gifts for their favorite tweens that won’t become passé can select from OneShare’s “Certified Shareholder” collection that includes a framed share of Microsoft with a personalized message that reads: “Windows of opportunity are everywhere.” A gift of a real stock certificate from Disney, Starbucks, McDonald’s, Build-A-Bear and Caterpillar is also a wonderful way to begin a child’s financial education, and it can inspire grandparent and grandchild to track the company together.

Parents and grandparents can also pair stocks with Stock Matters: An Introduction to Stocks and Ownership — a fun, new illustrated book by OneShare author Byron Beach that will excite kids about being owners, thinking like shareholders, and seeing the world just a little bit differently.

Looking for the ultra-exquisite gift that no one else will ever give? One real share of Tiffany & Co. — featuring a beautiful rendering of Atlas holding up the world, etched on the company’s trademark blue stock certificate and framed in solid silver — says volumes about the giver and recipient without a word being spoken.

OneShare’s “In America We Trust” collection of real stock certificates includes America’s favorite companies such as Callaway Golf with a personalized message dedicated to Dad: “To my Dad, who taught me life is like golf — always follow through,” and Harley Davidson with a patriotic personalized message that reads: “Made in America, we trust where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly.”

The “Break in Case of Emergency” collection is perfect for ‘suds’ lovers. A framed real share of Boston Beer can be personalized with a plaque that reads: “May you always have a share of beer and a beer to share.” Anheuser Busch-aficionados will enjoy a real stock certificate engraved with: “Invest in what you know.”

Until OneShare pioneered the service of selling real, individual stock certificates, it was complicated, costly and nearly impossible. Now anyone can purchase one share of stock in 130 of America’s public companies without dealing with brokerages, setting up an account, making an advance cash deposit or worrying about stock registration. OneShare handles all of this in one easy step and for one price. OneShare gives recipients the chance to enjoy all the benefits of owning a stock: shareholder privileges, dividends, annual reports, plus occasional shareholder perks — discounts, gifts and exclusive shareholder promotions.

OneShare offers shares of stock from such companies as: Saks Fifth Avenue, Polo Ralph Lauren, Coach, McDonald’s, Coca Cola, Starbucks, Lay-Z-Boy, Krispy Kreme, Budweiser, Sony, Las Vegas Sands, Quicksilver, Playboy, Target, Pfizer, Apple, eBay, Yahoo!, Boeing, and more.

To give a unique gift of ownership that will last a lifetime, please visit www.oneshare.com or call 888/777-6919.
