Hi, just wondered people's opinions , my mother in law recently send a message to the wife saying she had arranged £50 premium bonds for our daughter and set up. We would get email. Its really bothered me as I dont want people interfering in my daughters future finances , and annoyed she set her something up without discussing. Am I being silly or do I have a point as its really bothered me

Premium Bonds are a traditional gift to a baby or child. At worst they are a savings account with no interest - at best they can win significant sums of money for the child.

Yes, you are being silly. Premium Bonds are a traditional gift for a child. There is no tax liability and no way it could affect her financial future in anything other than a good way.

I was gifted a small amount in premium bonds as a baby. In early adulthood, 2 days before my wedding and 3 days after someone wrote off my car, I won £10,000. It was a wonderful, unexpected gift at the start of my married life and brought memories of the long passed but much loved great-aunt who gifted the initial bonds and would have loved to be at the wedding. It also bought me a new car! I was so very grateful and would have hated for my parents to have begrudged it.

What a lovely story ❤️

OP - you're being ridiculous. My DH's uncle has set up premium bonds accounts for both our kids and only told us after the fact (I think he applied and DH was sent some forms to to complete to confirm he/we were ok with it) and the only thing I thought was 'what a nice gesture'.

Bastards. I'm really sorry, OP. Are you OK?
