Financial gifts can bring smiles on Valentine’s Day
On every Valentine’s Day, Amer-
icans spend millions of dollars on candy and flowers. Tese are fine gifts, but after the chocolates are eaten and the roses have wilted, Valentine’s Day will just be a pleas- ant, though transient, memory. But if you want to give a present that can benefit your valentine for years to come, why not give a financial gift? Here are a few creative ideas for
doing just that: • Give shares of stock. Like ev-
eryone else, your valentine enjoys products or services produced by certain companies. So why not give her or him shares of stock in those businesses? Your valentine will en- joy being an owner, and may well use this newfound stock owner- ship to develop a greater interest in investing — and all of us need to invest if we are going to achieve our financial goals. (Keep in mind that, if you are giving away shares of your own stock, to take note of your original purchase price; this information will be needed for tax purposes should your gift recipient ever sell the shares.) • Contribute to an IRA.

your valentine contribute to a tra- ditional or Roth IRA? If so, he or she is making a wise move, because an IRA is one of the best tax-advan- taged ways to save for retirement. Consequently, you’ll be doing your valentine a great service by helping him or her fund an IRA. (While you can’t directly invest in someone else’s IRA, you can write that per- son a check for the same purpose.) For the 2010 tax year, the IRA
contribution limit is $5,000, or $6,000 for investors 50 or older. And contributions for 2010 can be made right up until the 2011 tax- filing deadline, which is April 15. • Make a charitable gift in your
valentine’s name. Your valentine may well support certain charitable, educational or civic groups. By mak- ing a contribution to one or more of these groups, and designating the gift in your valentine’s name, you will be doing a good thing for your

valentine, for the charity — and for yourself, too, because your gift may earn you some tax benefits. If you simply give cash, you can write off part of the value of your gift if it’s made to a tax-qualified charitable organization. And if you give an appreciated asset, such as stock, you also may be able to avoid paying capital gains taxes, because when the stock is sold, it will be the char- ity, not you, taking the gain. • Make a debt payment. You
might want to volunteer to pay your valentine’s car payment, or credit card payment, for a month, and then encouraging your valen- tine to put the savings to work in an investment. Te more debts any of us have, the less we have to invest for our future.
• Check your beneficiary desig-
nations. If your valentine also hap- pens to be your spouse, you’ll be doing him or her a favor by making sure the beneficiary designations are correct on your insurance policies and investment accounts. Trough all the events of life — marriage, remarriage, new children — these designations can sometimes get outdated, so you’ll want to keep them current. By following any or all of these
suggestions, you can help make sure your loved one will feel the glow of this year’s Valentine’s Day far into the future.
