A friend’s son just had a kid. When I say the son had a kid, I mean the son’s wife had a kid 
Its the first grandchild so as you might expect, there is going to be a big party over the weekend.
HB suggested we buy gold coins as a gift. They sell these gold coins that you can buy, which are more or less pure gold so it acts as an investment. Maybe one day when the kid grows up, he can sell them and use the money. After all its gold. Gold never depreciates! Wish someone had given me gold coins when I was a baby
