I completely agree with you! I think they make great gifts for babies or young children, or if purchased secretly for someone and not given to them until the bond has matured. They also seem like a great way to invest a little of your own money. However, given as an award when I was 16 years old, I probably won't even remember that cattle show when the bond actually matured!
