Why must it be Bitcoin, there something called Utility, Usefulness and scale of Preference something might be useful but does not posses any utility to the person that you want to give. From the illustration you give you know her so well giving this bitcoin is it her pressing need or you want her to sell off the bitcoin to get whatsoever she needs or has a means of investment. Ponder on this
whats crazy with giving a gift ? i know its not christmas yet but you can also give gift for other occasions and in your case to give thanks ( thanks giving gift ? ) btc is money only in a digital form and 10 to 15 btc are big enough , no person on earth will ignore that . if im to ask , it was a big deal if i buy the coin cheap and ill gave them away today due to the present value btc have but maybe for you it was fine so go ahead .
Well paying back to the person who helped you alot to go through the hardest time wasn't an obligation but it all depends on you especially when that person are not waiting for a return of its good deed. But actually giving bitcoin as a gift is such a wonderful gift to her and a very valuable gift but make sure that the person that you are giving a bitcoin knows how to exchange it in fiat in case and also knows the uses of it. 
I have been thinking...
Would it be totally crazy, if I gave 10-15 bitcoins to a woman, who helped me in a really really big way when I was younger.
I mean, would she think I was crazy if I do it?
Would it be a positive thing? Or just weird?
The coins were not worth much when I got them, so from that perspective, it's not THAT big a deal, right?
I would gladly give them to her, but I fear it could have a negative effect to what little friendship we have
And she is married with kids, so while I will always like her, there is no hidden agenda on my part here.
The husband might be a bit shocked for a while, but trust me he won't care much as soon as he sees all those money (as long as her sweet little wife is very loyal to him).

For her to be not shocked, tell her that you bought it at a very low price that you don't mind giving it to her. As you said, she helped you a lot when you were young so tell it that you feel indebted because of that. I think you two are close or know each other for a long time so I don't think she will give it a deep meaning. If you still hesitating to give it that you think will affect your friendship, give it anonymously to her and see her reaction. If she feels scared that it is from a criminal then admit that it was you then tell her the reason.

That was my thought too, the only time that this will be weird is when you have an ulterior motive behind the gift, but otherwise, you can go ahead and gift it to her OP, if she really did help you a lot and you really want to gift her kindness. 
That's a lot of Bitcoin. With the Hugh price of Bitcoin now, I won't want to give out so much bitcoin because the price will be double of this in months.
Well, it still depends how this person is much close to you. Left for me, I won't be giving it out and that's cause I want to see how much my coin would be.
Well if you are not sincere in your gift giving then you might as well not give bitcoin as a gift, isn't that the point of gifting someone, it doesn't matter what will be its value today and tomorrow as long as it is a sincere thing for you to do. Well, it still depends how this person is much close to you. Left for me, I won't be giving it out and that's cause I want to see how much my coin would be.

If you think giving the bitcoins to the girl is something that can immensely help her, then might as well go for it. You mentioned you have no hidden agenda anyway. In any case, just give her a good heads up ss to what bitcoin is so she knows what she's dealing with. You don't want your precious gift that literally costs a couple of hundred thousand dollars now just because she doesn't know a thing about bitcoin.
He should really explain because that gift wont be appreciated if the girl doesnt even know on whats the thing she hard received.People would normally not get interesting if somethinghe/she doesnt know so giving out some gift should really be ending up on appreciation or a surprise but if she's blank with it then dont expect about being happy or appreciation.
Explain with the basics and she will understand and might you convinced her to deal with crypto which is a good thing.Its a matter of interest though because
there are really people who arent really interested no matter how well you do introduce or explain to them.
If you have that amount and that you are also willing to give it, that was your decision and surely it appreciated more than enough. Nobody is expecting to have that reward even from a multi-millionaire. She saves your life and that she deserves something from you (and I will be doing that also). If that he knows about Bitcoin and knows the value of it, this could make a big change to her living. That surely she can't afford to reject it, though.
That's a very large amount giving 10-15 BTC, if it is distributed to people in my country it can make 10 people retire from their jobs. I say seriously
it is a very large amount to give to someone else who is not your family. In fact, it's your right as the owner of Bitcoin to give it to whoever you want.
But giving to a woman who is married and has children is not a wise thing to do, because maybe her husband is jealous, because it assumes you
have a hidden agenda. Maybe it will have a negative impact on you and the woman, if you give Bitcoin to the woman, don't just give Bitcoin to her,
but if possible to your other friends too. So it will not cause prejudice against you.

I believe giving a woman that kind of bitcoin is not a bad idea as far as she really worth it I believe she will definitely appreciate and I believe she will never forget you. But hope the really knows the value of bitcoin if she those not know it I don't really think she will value it if she won't value it is better you just sell the bitcoin and then give her cash I believe everybody will definitely appreciate cash everybody knows the value of cash compare to bitcoin somepeople don't really know about bitcoin must especially females.
There are people who say that they do not like the world of gambling, but they understand it in the literal sense, because in many cases some bet and do not know it, you are trying to do something that has an intrinsic random result.
It will be very difficult to show goodwill in your cause, unless she (or anyone) understands it, because they understand that your intention is based on the results of the good Samaritan that this person was.
Although sometimes a simple "thank you for helping me" is enough ... And don't forget to bring the seed.

Obviously crazy but with two ways. Like you will be the craziest person she has ever meet. And you will made a craziest thing she ever saw in her entire life. And she never forget your this crazyness. And you will be the lovely craziest person she had. But this craziness is not creat a awkward moment this creat a historical lovely moment. Just think someone you gave like a luxurious house and a lamborgini car. Then how it won't be craziness? How it won't be a craziest thing ever she had seen in her entire life. Buddy made this historical craziest thing. All the best.
If you really want to give someone some bitcoin then give him. Why you feel hesitate to give it to her. Just give her and tell the truth why you give it to her. I think she and her family members will be glad to get it.
I believe you're not crazy to want to give that huge amount of money out as gift. It shows how grateful you are for what she did for you. The problem might be a wrong perception of your intention towards the giving. Since she's married, you might also have issues with the husband who might see the gesture as something else.
Now to the most important part. Even if the two problems listed above were by chance solved, you'd still be face with the problem of explaining to her what bitcoin is. Trust me, she wouldn't really value it if she doesn't know what it is. You'd also have to teach her how to use it and how to sell in case she needs to sell some and all.

This will easily be put into a bad light IMO if you haven't discussed it thoroughly with her and her partner. Most likely the partner will get jealous since you just instantly give his wife almost a million dollars because of your gratitude. I mean, they would gladly accept it, no doubt, but it may form a rift between the two considering that that's how male ego works most of the time.
Perhaps you can discuss everything up to the taxation and all the legal bounds of gifting such a huge sum to make it seem more formal and not really weird for them.

That is too much I think but it is still up to you and if you are so much rich than 10-15, BTC for you is just a piece of money then go for it, there is no wrong for giving gratitude to a person who is there at your worst. I am sure that her reaction will be good and she won't treat it as a negative one, you have both experiences together so there is no bad with giving a gift to her. Just also make sure that she also knows about bitcoin so things will go softly. Nowadays we need to be practical, money as a gift is not that person and I don't think that it will look offensive especially if the who will receive it is one of your friends.
There is no wrong in showing appreciation to the one who helps you in a big way or a serious matter, even though it happened a long ago. It is a bit crazy because 10-15 BTC is a huge amount of money and I think he would be really happy when she has received that kind of gift from a friend, I don't think that she might get offended by that gift because you are both friends. I am just curious how rich you are to the point that you can give 10-15 BTC in a person.
Just ask yourself first if you would be happy as well if you make it if there is no hesitation on you then give it to her, it would be good if you will wait for some good timing, just like a birthday, Christmas or new year.
