Link for I-Bonds -

A Treasury Direct account is set up and then payment for the bonds is transferred from there.

These seem more attractive than TIPS bonds, which have a fluctuating principal amount.

Potential downsides of I-Bonds include the 10 K per person annual limit, and a lack of availability from brokerages. Also, the I-Bond has to be held for at least 12 months, and if the I-Bond is sold sooner than 5 years, you lose the last 3 month's interest.
