This holiday season, skip the wrapping paper and give a gift that lasts a lifetime, the smarter kind of gift.

An Invest529 gift contribution helps the child you love save for their future education, whether that means college, trade school or an apprenticeship. From December 1–7, 2025, your thoughtful gesture comes with a little something extra.

When you give a digital gift of $25 or more, you’ll receive a free Tuition Monster Mini Plush, an adorable reminder that smart savings can start with small steps and that saving for education doesn’t have to be scary. Only the first 2,000 eligible digital gift purchases will receive a Mini Plush. Limit 5 per household, while supplies last. Terms and conditions apply.

Two Easy Ways to Give

Giving a digital gift has never been easier.

  1. Send a digital gift card: Choose your amount, add a personal message and deliver your gift instantly online. Perfect for last-minute shoppers and long-distance family members.
  2. Contribute through a custom gift ID: If your recipient already has an Invest529 account, use their gift ID to make a secure contribution directly to their account. It’s a meaningful, practical gift that grows with them.

No wrapping, no shipping. Just a gift that can help fund future opportunities.

Why It’s the Smarter Kind of Gift

A contribution to an Invest529 account goes far beyond the moment. It grows tax-advantaged and can be used for qualified education expenses like tuition, books and certain training programs.

It’s simple, flexible and meaningful. You’re not just giving money, you’re giving confidence, opportunity and a head start toward their dreams. Related: Want to make the most of giving the gift of education? Register to attend Giving the Gift of Education With Invest529
