Every holiday season, parents across Florida search for the perfect gift — something their kids will love, something that will (hopefully) last. But as any parent knows, toys break, trends fade, and even the coolest gadgets lose their shine.
So this year, what if you gave your child something sure to grow with them? Something that sparks opportunity, not just excitement?
That’s exactly what a Florida 529 Plan can do, and why more families just like yours are adding it to their holiday wish lists.
A Gift That Grows Over Time
When you open or contribute to a Florida 529 Plan, you’re doing more than saving for college — you’re planting a seed of opportunity for their future. Even small contributions can add up over time, especially when you start early.
Think of it as the gift that keeps on giving, long after the wrapping paper’s gone.
Every dollar invested in a 529 Plan grows tax-free when used for qualified education expenses — whether that’s college, trade school, or other career training. And unlike a toy they’ll outgrow, your child will carry this gift for life.
Save Together, Grow Together
Here’s another reason it’s such a smart gift: it’s easy for friends and family to join in.
Grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends and more can all contribute directly to your child’s Florida 529 Plan, creating a tradition of giving that truly matters.
Instead of another stuffed animal or video game, they can give something meaningful: a little piece of your child’s future story.
Why Parents Are Shifting from “Stuff” to Savings
Across Florida, more parents are rethinking what it means to give. They’re choosing experiences, education, and financial security over “more stuff.”
And when you think about it, it makes sense — the holidays are about joy, connection, and hope for what’s ahead. A Florida 529 Plan fits perfectly into that giving spirit.
Because when you give the gift of education, you’re not just saving money, you’re also saying I believe in you.
Save for Their Story
At Florida Prepaid, we believe every child’s story deserves a strong beginning — and parents deserve flexible, affordable ways to make that happen.
With a Florida 529 Plan, you have options. Choose a Prepaid 529 Plan to lock in future tuition costs at today’s plan prices, or an Investment 529 Plan to contribute what you can, when you can — both designed to help you give your child a head start toward their dreams.
So this holiday season, skip the toy aisle and start something that lasts.
Give your child — and yourself — the smartest gift of all: a head start on their future.
