How to give Bitcoin wallets as a gift

1

I want to give Bitcoin as a gift to someone that has as little experience with them as I do.

Most importantly, I want to create a wallet (preferably offline, so I can just handover a USB stick with numbers stored on it, but online is also okay if it's with a trusted site) for them without involving their passport picture, email address etc.

I am happy to provide documents/setup 2FA myself as long as that data is not connected to the final wallet

I'm not talking about amounts that would raise any governments suspicion or reporting limits.

I prefer Bitcoin, but if the fact that I'd only purchase fractional coins makes things more difficult, I'm happy with liquid alternatives.

Sounds like you are looking for something like Open Dime -- much more secure than a USB stick, but no backups possible.

  1. Create a new bitcoin wallet offline with a website like this one https://walletgenerator.net/
  2. Transfer the amount you want to give to your friend to this new wallet
  3. Write the private key on a paper and give it to him then explain that since you have created his wallet he is not the real owner and tell him to do step 1 and 2 by himself if he want to really own his coins
