after stacking #bitcoin since Feb 2021, I'm thinking more and more that this will be the Christmas I finally gift my immediate family some #bitcoin for the very first time...
God help me 😱
paper-wallets the way to go?

River is probably best, unless you are gifting them fat stacks lol
I would just theoretically set aside the amount that you want to gift them in your own wallet (write down the amount of btc and hand that paper to them)
When they're ready to self-custody, you send it to them. Too many cases where it will simply get lost otherwise, so you'll feel bad and so will they.
I love this idea; I wanted to gift them a paer-wallet so they have their private keys, without needing a hardware wallet...but everytime I think about it I get hung-up on the nightmare of them losing the paper-wallet; especially since I'm planning to gift them a non-insignificant amount...
their buy-in (putting in the work, buying a cold-storage wallet, etc.) will be enough reassurance for me
thanks again
Satscards from coinkite are like giftcards with keys in them
For gifting some sats, I have always liked lightsats.com
It allows them to experience Bitcoin via Lightning as their first touch-point to Bitcoin, which I think is important these days, and it also allows you to reclaim the sats yourself if they fail to claim them within the time-frame you set.
