Any Disney fans here? Disney is about to stop issuing paper stock certs. Last chance to buy is the 16th of October.
OneShare sells just one share. I got one as a fun xmas pressie.

Oh no! These make such great gifts! I can't tell you how many I've bought when someone has a new baby.
ETA: When I started in the brokerage business in the '90s we would have clients call and buy one share as a gift all the time, and I would have to tell them that the price of the share was (and I'm totally making up numbers here) $25... but the commission on that one share of $25 stock was about thirty eight bucks.
