5 Reasons Why Gold Bars And Gold Coins Are Ideal Gifting Options
There are many people, occasions and events
in our lives when we want to gift something precious. And the
first choice that comes to mind at such times is jewelry
especially gold jewelry. But unless you know the person
really well, and are completely aware of their likes and
dislikes, their tastes and preferences in jewelry, there is
a possibility of your choice disappointing the
recipient.
My cousin's daughter got married in the US
last year. I attended the wedding, as she was my cousin's only
child, and my family needed to be represented. I knew my
cousin's taste in jewelry, but I had no idea what would
appeal to this once-removed niece of mine! I gifted her a gold
bar. And she recently sent me a picture of a pair of bangles
she had converted it into!
So why take a chance? It's best tobuy gold barsand gift it to them. Or, if you're looking
for something lighter and smaller, you canbuy gold
coins.
Here are 5 reasons why gold bars and gold
coins are ideal gifts…
1. No risk of wrong
choice.
The first reason, and perhaps a very
important one, is what I've already mentioned earlier. You
don't have to lose sleep over whether the person you are so
lovingly buying the gift for will like it. By gifting a gold
bar or gold coin, you give your loved one the freedom to
choose the jewelry they want to be made. They might even decide to
just keep it aside for a time when they may need to convert it
into liquid cash. Gold bars ARE considered good investment
options!!
2. No "use-by"
date.
Some may argue that a gift card also
satisfies the 'no risk of wrong choice' reason. I disagree.
They are not quite the same. Gift cards have a use-by date. I
am aware of instances where gift cards have been forgotten or
misplaced, only to resurface one fine day long after the
expiration date! I've also found that gold coins and gold bars
are put away more safely than gift cards. Somehow, they are
more valued. So, for a well looked-after gift that has no
expiry or use-by date, what better choice than gold bars and
gold coins?
3. Choice of several
denominations.
You can get these coins and gifts in
several denominations/weights. This makes it easy to select a
gold bar or gold coin to suit your budget and pocket. From a
modest 1gm coin to the heavy London Good Delivery 12.5 kg bar,
you are spoilt for choice!!
4. Choice of embossments to suit
individual and event/occasion.
Ah! This is an area you might have to give
some thought to. There are so many embossments available to
suit religion, occasion, preference… Goddess Lakshmi, Goddess
Saraswathi, Lord Ganesha, Krishna with Radha, Baby Krishna,
Mecca, The Holy Cross, Queen Victoria… the list can go on.
There's a gold coin or bar to suit every occasion. New home,
birthday, puja, festival, engagement, wedding, new business,
arrival of a baby – just choose an appropriate coin or bar,
and you are set and sorted.
5. Ease of
obtaining.
It is very easy to buy gold bars or coins.
They are available in most jewellery outlets. You can even get
them online. With more and more people opting for
buyinggold jewellery
online, getting
gold bars and coins online is a convenient option.
Take Vaibhav Jewellers. Their coins and
bars are MMTC-PAMP certified. So quality is assured, and so is
resale. With their 25 years of legacy and expertise, they
would be your go-to destination for gold coin or bar needs.
They have 12 brick-and-mortar stores across Andhra and
Telangana, and a very user-friendly website if you'd rather
buytemple
jewellery. Their
services and policies are completely customer-oriented. You'd
be delighted with your buying experience.
And just take a look at what else they
offer…
>Lifetime
exchange.
>Free 15 day
return policy.
>State of art
Live Video Shopping.
>Free transit
insurance on International Shipments.
This week we share our first impressions of the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder, and discuss whether its driving dynamics and redesigned interior give it an edge in the competitive midsized three-row SUV segment. Fuel prices are going up nationwide, so we share some tips on how to maximize your car's fuel economy. Other topics include whether switching between premium and regular fuel may damage a car's engine, should Tesla disabling advanced safety features in some of its vehicles keep drivers from purchasing a Model 3 or Model Y, how to properly charge an electric vehicle to optimize its battery life, and we feature responses we received from our audience about their favorite cars they wish they still owned.

This week we discuss our test results of the 2021 Nissan Rogue, share a surprising issue our testing uncovered, and why Nissan might finally be ready to compete with rivals like Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Subaru Forester, and Mazda CX-5. Ford recently announced its fully electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck, and we talk about its capabilities, characteristics, and why it could signal a profound change in the truck market and culture. We also answer questions about how to deal with a car's fluctuating reliability score, the best way to care for foggy, yellowing headlight lenses, if a used Lexus LS is a smart choice for teen drivers, and share our favorite cars we've ever owned.

Scammers are following the headlines about economic impact payments. Know how to spot and avoid the scams to keep your money and information to yourself. Learn more at https://ftc.gov/coronavirus.
**********************************
Transcript:
Hi, I’m Becca Kelly Slaughter, Acting Chair of the Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency.
You’ve probably heard the great news that the American Rescue Plan is now law. That means lots of people will soon be getting desperately-needed economic impact payments—some folks call them stimulus payments—of up to fourteen hundred dollars.
Many of you have been here before, so you know these funds will come through direct deposit, check, or debit card.
But we here at the FTC would like to remind you that scammers follow the headlines, too. So here are a few sure ways to spot a scammer trying to take your money or personal information.
First, know that nobody in the government will ask you to pay anything up front to get your economic impact payment. There’s no way to get your payment faster, and there’s no form to fill out. That’s simply a scam.
Second, the government will not call, email, text, or message you on social media to ask for your Social Security, bank account, or credit card number. Anyone who does is a scammer.
Third, anyone who tells you to pay by money transfer, gift card, or cryptocurrency is a scammer. No matter WHY they say you need to pay.
If you spot these scams, tell the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Every report helps us try to stop scammers.
And let me say a word to would-be scammers: the FTC will use all of its enforcement authority to come after bad actors who try to take advantage of people anxiously awaiting relief.
To learn more about avoiding pandemic-related scams, visit FTC.gov/coronavirus. And help us spread the word. Share these tips and this video through your network. Thanks for helping us protect people from scams.
**********************************
The Federal Trade Commission deals with issues that touch the economic life of every American. It is the only federal agency with both consumer protection and competition jurisdiction in broad sectors of the economy. The FTC pursues vigorous and effective law enforcement; advances consumers' interests by sharing its expertise with federal and state legislatures and U.S. and international government agencies; develops policy and research tools through hearings, workshops, and conferences; and creates practical and plain-language educational programs for consumers and businesses in a global marketplace with constantly changing technologies.
