Gifting & Rewards Programs
The gift that never gets outgrown, broken or forgotten.
So many gifts end up being played with for a day and then forgotten. The Ugift program makes it easy for friends and family to give a gift that can make a lasting difference in your loved one's life. A contribution of as little as $25 can significantly lessen their debt load in the future. (Bonus: It gives you an easy to answer to all those, “What should I get her?” questions.)
Sure, a kid may not think the gift of education is the coolest thing to unwrap today. But they’ll think you’re super awesome when they unwrap their future achievements without as much debt!

A gift contribution to a 529 plan is a great idea for any occasion, particularly for birthdays, holidays, baby showers and graduations. With gift contributions going into a plan from a few different people a few times a year, education savings can really add up significantly.
