A good guide for anyone who wants to give BTC as a gift, the paper is cheap, and the process is not too complicated. Although I personally have never used Jaxx wallet, I remember they have some problems in the past as mjglqw mentioned. But I don't think that's a reason to avoid using it for smaller amounts of few mBTC.

Only problem I see is in fact that mobile wallets should not be used for long-term storage, due to various security risks who have recently posted on this forum as well. Apple with its smartphone operating system as well as Android shows too many security flaws, and repairing them takes too long or is not possible at all.

So I would add another step, which is to introduce new owners to secure storage options such as cold wallets or hardware wallets. It would be an ideal gift if we can give BTC on a hardware wallet, but I guess the price is still a limiting factor for that.

Best learning curve here, best solution but giving fancy paper wallet is good idea for gift. Its quire two separate things.
If you giving someone BTC gift he should have basic knowledge already how to use it, if not, you need to train him anyway after such gift because otherwise this gift have no sense at all.
I use other site to paper wallets, guide is very narrowed to solutions like how to import to one site and how to create to 2 sites. Could be expanded here.

If the receiver uses an Android phone, I would recommend either the Bitcoin Wallet for Android, or Electrum Wallet for Android, both of which can be found on the Google Play Store.

They allow you to control your own private keys or seed word list, they both support segregated witness, and both are "light" wallets, the Bitcoin one uses SPV or Simple Payment Verification.

Additionally, you can use the same seed for your mobile device as well as on a desktop or laptop, if you use Electrum.

That's exactly what I do and also wrote in the tutorial: "to give the recipient the possibility to get access to his/her Bitcoin on the spot."
I just was giving out some this weekend and the recipient was supposed to import the Paper Wallet right away. Besides, I explained everything.


Jaxx is perhaps a little more beginner friendly in handling.
Here the full amount of the paper wallet is sweeped automatically during import.
Some wallets only import the private key, so there is no transaction taking place and you would have access via both wallets.

I don't know how Mycelium actually handles it.



thanks


The footnote of the security precautions you have linked explains my intentions here very nicely.  


I am of course aware that using a device that has never been connected to a network before is more secure.
For my purposes here it is enough to use the offline version and disconnect from the internet.

After sweeping the paper wallet with the respective wallet application (in my case Jaxx) it is empty anyway.


As I was afraid that everyone would immediately give their personal wallet recommendation, I had noted the following in the tutorial:  

I was actually thinking of gift hardware wallet and then send some BTC to that wallet, it really wouldn't make sense for me to own someone's seed. We saw what can happen when friends share the same wallet, such things should be completely avoided.


Maybe because in the case of cryptocurrency paper wallet is actually something we can give to someone as a physical gift, which from the aspect of giving gifts has its full meaning. Asking someone to download some program, and then you will send him something, can be a little tricky and complicated, and probably dangerous because of the possibility of downloading a fake wallet.

Because it is supposed to be a gift and I want to hand over the Paper Wallet in a birthday card or something similar.
And in the future please do not quote a complete tutorial. 


Thanks for the positive feedback.
I have already gifted a few Paper Wallets myself and they have been warmly received.

On this occasion I always give a superficial crash course regarding Bitcoin, Blockchain & co. 

I agree.
I've never use Jaxx since they held my coins for days for no reasons whatsoever and the support was unavailable for tha entire duration. They eventually replied to me and cleared my funds but they are too unprofessional for anyone to suggest them as the first wallet of anybody.

I have absolutely no idea what part of the quote you're referring to.
Did you even read anything before you expressed your criticism?



and even in the tutorial I noted:


So I can't really figure out where the problem is for you here.

I like the idea very much, maybe someone will be inspired to do that for christmas later this year.

Personally, I would use Electrum for importing sweeping, I've never used Jaxx so I can't really judge here but there are way better alternatives in my opinion.
And choose bitaddress, I like their design much more.  


In addition, there's also an opportunity to create a customized vanity address where one can define the prefix and make it customized according to the receiver, like

1BobUKHNwb15kfcbWAaN8bSzdhy6QXzGfd
1AliceUKHNwb15kfcbWAaN8bSzdhy6QXzGfd

Vanitygen or VanitySearch are useful tools to create them:

Vanitygen
VanitySearch

VanitySearch is also offering SegWit Addresses (nested SegWit (starting with 3...))/ native SegWit (bech32, starting with bc1q)).

Could be a nice additional feature.

I think it's Jaxx who's to blame if they don't use the term "sweep" instead of "import" and when the function is called "import" on Jaxx (even if they want to say sweep) we have to refer to the button "import" (like step 5 in the guide), so that users will find it.
However, the discussion is very much pointless from here on, because of that I recommend using Electrum where users can decide wether they sweep or import.

Sorry  
Unfortunately I'm not getting paid from Electrum for recommending it as my favorite wallet. (It's a very good wallet!)
