Press releaseA GIFT THEY WON'T OUTGROW17 November 2003NS&I's GIFT PACK IS NOW AVAILABLE WITH PRESENT IDEAS FOR CHILDREN National Savings and Investments' (NS&I) Gift Packs are launched today giving details of three savings products which are ideal presents for children that they won't outgrow. These are Children's Bonus Bonds, Index-linked Savings Certificates and Premium Bonds. Children will be more grateful for the financial help towards a new car, university fees or a home deposit in the future than a DVD or video game they may discard almost as soon as it is received. With all three of our gifts, the interest, bonuses or prizes are tax-free1 while offering the 100% security that only NS&I can promise, and with the exception of Premium Bonds, purchasers don't have to be related to a child in order to invest on their behalf. Sarah Williams, customer offer manager, National Savings and Investments: "It is often difficult to choose a gift for a child, especially as the latest trend never lasts long. Many people may not realise they can buy these financial gifts for children which can contribute towards their future. By investing with National Savings and Investments now you could help them buy their first car, pay for university fees or a deposit on their first home." How To Get A Gift Pack Gift Packs are available from 17 November by calling 0845 964 5000 any time, visiting our website at www.nsandi.com or collecting a pack from main Post Office® branches around the UK.
