I Bonds isn't affected by purchases of Series EE Bonds. You can order I Bonds at most local financial institutions. You just fill out a simple purchase order, pay for the bond, and your I Bond will be mailed to you within three weeks. I Bonds are also available through employer-sponsored payroll savings plans. Check with your employer to see if I Bonds are available where you work.
Bonds are great gifts for all occasions.
An I Bond can be sent to you so you can present it personally or it can be sent directly to the person receiving the gift. When you buy the I Bond, ask for a free gift certificate. U.S. citizens, residents, and workers of any age with a valid U.S. social security number can own I Bonds. Upon the death of one co-owner, the other becomes the sole owner of the I Bond. The beneficiary automatically becomes the sole owner of the I Bond when the original owner dies.
