People aren't as incapable as we sometimes seem to assume. If they can handle a WLAN password or any password on a piece of paper why not 12 words.
You could also use BIP85 and be the backup in case they fuck it up.

I educated a lot of people on the self custody wallet aspect, trust me.
Some dont get it that quick.
I mean a 1 minute app setup and receiving the first sats within seconds.
And then can instantly spent it again.
Wasn't my intention to sound like you are not educating on self custody. Just saying I prefer a solid onchain wallet setup for that case, it's unbeatable imo.
But the important part is, they get some sats for xmas and not some fiat crap nobody needs.
