Perhaps one of the coolest gifts to remember a special cruise with is ownership in the Carnival Corporation and its ships. Yes, you can give an actual registered single share of Carnival Corporation stock to your loved one. The shares have the owner's name and address listed, a unique certificate number and are signed by company officers. Frame and mat it in a the color of your choice, and if you want, a little custom plaque can be added below the certificate.
Carnival Corporation Stock is the gift that keeps on giving. As a registered shareholder, your Ford enthusiast will get Annual Company Reports and dividend checks quarterly (when dividends are declared). Shareholders, even of one share, can vote on company business by mail, online or even attend the annual general meeting where company executives report to the shareholders.
Also as a registered shareholder of the company the way is open to join the dividend reinvestment and stock purchase program so that additional shares can be acquired with reduced or no brokerage commissions. There are a few ways to get Carnival Corporation stock, but OneShare sells Carnival Corporation single shares for the market value of the actual share, a transfer fee, and the frame, plaque and shipping cost.
