And I honestly thought I wouldn't be able to pull it off.
Does anyone happen to know of any other options available to me that don't require parental consent, but also aren't just about someone handing me cash in an envelope? What about things like life insurance policies, or maybe a housing savings account, or... something else?

The other day, I received an invitation to be a godmother at a christening, which got me thinking about the perfect gift. It occurred to me that opening a youth savings account for the little one would be a wonderful gesture. Now, I am wondering if it is actually possible to set one up without the parents knowing first, just so it can be a complete surprise. Does anyone have recommendations on which major US bank would be the best choice for this kind of thing?
