You can tell him/her to download any wallet (ex: mycelium ) on his/her smartphone and send whatever transaction you want. By this way s/he will have his firat experience with bitcoin
I was looking at the collectibles and I wanted to buy a Unobtanium "Physical Wallet" as a gift to a friend. It's a nice gift for those who just started with Bitcoins and less expensive as well.
im using coinbase for my wallet but if i wanted to gift some for christmas to someone who does not have a wallet, how would i go about it?
The best way i see for giving away bitcoin for xmass is as either in loaded casascius physical bitcoin or as a loaded hardware wallet like trezor.
Either way you should hurry up if u're planing on doing that, due to delivery time.
If you're looking for a cheaper alternatives, you could set up a wallet on thumb drive or as a paper wallet, even tho i would definitely suggest
one of the first option i mentioned; it has way more class to it.
cheers
Print out a Paper Wallet (With QR Code on it) and send some Bitcoin to it.
You can create an Online Wallet at:
https://blockchain.info/de/wallet
There is an option to print it after creating it. You need to write down the Password and the Login-ID to get access to the Wallet via the Website. This is the easiest Option since the Person with the new Bitcoins has an online Wallet which he/she can use instantly.
Alternative you can find Paperwallets on:
https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/
It's a open Source Project so you don't have to be afraid that your bitcoins will be stolen creating a wallet there. If you want to make sure you can download the website and create the paper Wallets offline. But importing the Wallet can be difficult for a total new Person. So I would suggest the play with Blockchain.info Wallets for the beginning.
