In ten years, I'll have $50. In ten years, I'll have a job and $50 won't matter that much....
 
Yes, you can go to a bank and buy one. Make sure you have the social security number of the minor you're buying it for.

BTW, you may want to look into TIPS (Treasury Inflation Protected Strips, also known as "I-bonds") instead of regular savings bonds.
