Monero Gift is a printable template for people that want to easily give Monero away as a present.

Here's the printable PDF: https://github.com/phloatingman/monero_gift/raw/main/Monero%20Gift.pdf

The source .ai file is available here if you want to make changes: https://github.com/phloatingman/monero_gift

Note: When you write down the seed phrase, make sure it's in all lower case. Cake Wallet only accepts lowercase words.

I usually use this printable in tandem with an Amazon Gift Card. For example, I would give $50 USD worth of XMR and $50 USD worth of Amazon Gift Card in the same envelope in case my gift receiver does not want anything to do with cryptocurrency. If the gift receiver does not transfer the funds to their own wallet within 1 year, the funds can be swept and regifted.

The concept may be lovely, but the fact is, many people nowadays have been Pavlov’ed to immediately ignore anything weird that says, "Congratulations! You got some money. Visit this URL and input something." As they say, the Cake is a lie…

Monero could be a wonderful gift to a friend of yours if they’re especially interested in privacy (in that case, you might want to talk to them privately, and perhaps recommend a better wallet). Otherwise, it may be kind of like casting pearls before swine…

Those are very generous gifts! You have lucky friends or relatives.
