Topic: Bitcoin as a Christmas gift? (Read 1273 times)
I was considering doing the same thing, probably with Casascius coins. I figure it'll get family and friends interested in Bitcoin and get them started at the same time, killing two birds with one stone! Maybe I should offer to buy them back off of them if they'd rather just have the fiat cash... I'd gladly take 'em back. 
A row of alpaca socks with the Bitcoin logo embroidery on them line up on a mantle would be impressive.
Last christmas I gave Cassacius coins as presents. The faces of my family when I tried to explain that the "code" behind the hologram was worth 3 dollars were entertaining. They surely thought I was crazy.
Can't wait for this years christmas when I tell them what last years coins are now worth.
Also I'm seriously considering buying all this years christmas presents for bitcoin (bitmit stuff, alpaca socks, etc.)

Give a physical bitcoin or print a paper wallet from bitaddress.org.
"This year I got you Bitcoins, a new kind of money you can spend on the internet. They also go up in value. These have gone up in value every year for the past four years, and I believe these will go up in value a lot over the next four. Put it in a safe place and let's find out. They will either be worth a lot, or absolutely nothing. If they end up worth nothing, you'll have a token that I'm a sucker for stuff like this."

I was thinking about giving Bitcoins out for Christmas to my family in a way that is as easy for them to spend or keep as possible.
What would be the best way?
