i would back up the wallet with the amount you want to give, in a nice usb, and gift to him/her by explaining how him/her need to retrieve those money

We are missing a point here! It's not just about giving someone 1 btc for example, it's what will this person do with it.

You need to teach them the basics about operating a wallet, securing it and sending transactions, then you can gift them as you wish!

I think that will be paper wallets with some information and introduction about bitcoin.

Physical coin seems to be a good gift..
But if it has to be less expensive.. just a paperwallet..

Depending on the realtionship to the person you are gifting it to.. once they want to import their private key.. you could just help them.

If your friend is interested to know bitcoin than tell him if he wants a wallet and make it for him.
Of just buy a gift card from amazon so he can buy something for him self. Well for me I just going to give my family some satoshi to start there bitcoin adventure.

Giving bitcoin is pretty easy and can be done in many ways. But if your recipient don't have bitcoin wallet yet this can be a challenge. There is couple ways to do it tho:

- You could always buy hardware wallet (Trezor for example) and load it with bitcoin.
- You could buy physical bitcoin coin, it looks cool and can be redeemed later. It will be probably worth more in the future too.
- There are bitcoin gift cards availble
- You could give them USB stick with bitcoin wallet on it, etc.

You should try:

1. Brainwallet, make sure it's salted
2. Paperwallet, make sure you add some decorations on the piece of paper!

Hope this helps

I do think that the best way you can gift someone through the bitcoin is either buying something using the coins. I am very sure that the gift you can buy using the coins is always of high quality owing to the fact that bitcoins are highly valued. You can also decide to give someone the real btc as a way to start his or her trading in the world of digital currency. It may seem to be abnormal but the best gift you can give someone during this season.

I once told my friends that they gave me their bitcoin address, I will send them 0.01 bitcoin each, nobody responded.

if you wanted to gift btc as a gift , i think what other replied about hardware wallet or pendrive wallet is very good, or else you can purchase a nice gift purchased from btc and present it and tell the importance and uses of bitcoins , so that they will also get interested after knowing that they can buy online iteams with bitcoins as payment option.

I read about that yesterday and thought of sending some to my relatives for Christmas.

Either a paperwallet, or make a note on How to make a wallet and then send it to them. Or make some sort of a "gift card" with a blockchain wallet and password on it. And put the ammount of BTC you want to give as a gift on that wallet.

You can create a wallet for the person you're gifting and print out the paper wallet for them. You could tell them to just hold it until next year and look up how much it will be worth it. It will be a nice surprise.

The easiest way for you to give bitcoin to your friends is make a online wallet for them and give them the userid and password. It's not an elegant way to give bitcoin away. It's easy and fast, your friends get to use them almost instantly. Ask them to send some btc to another address of yours and you will send them more free bitcoin. It worked for me and my friends, far better than on paper wallets. Those who are not interested in bitcoins tend to leave paper wallets in the envelope and stuff it in a drawer, lost forever.

[sishendaoye]

Well if your friend don't know bitcoin is just tell him what is bitcoin and let him kae his own wallet so you can be partners in bitcoin world. I think that will be the nice gift to him maybe gift him 0.2 bitcoins, because now the price is going up with that he can make profit.

I think when you buy bitcoin through ATM, you will get a paper wallet with the key printed. So giving other people paper wallet is a good idea.

[eternalgloom]

I would give a paper wallet or simply put a wallet on a usb drive.
That's how I've given bitcoins to people who were still new to all of this.

I gave 3 persons last year such a card.
Since it is real money people eventually are forced to use it and with that they know more about bitcoin hopefully.
