 I've used light sats before too. Great tool.  

 Paper wallet 

 Opendime or Satscard is what i gift.

Something physical boxed up with a paper note explaining how to access the bitcoin. 

 Lol brother, I just said the same thing 🤣 🫂 

My way comes with strings attached.  

 get them aqua wallet, send them sats via lightning invoice, no need to burden them with channel openings as its liquid based, which adds security and privacy. not to mention its open source and self hosted. They can learn about it more as they go, but its a solid starter wallet that wont run into the typical mire of failed lightning transactions 

 You can gift it directly or indirectly. 

Indirectly is buying amazon gift card with Bitcoin 
Or directly gift a 12 or 24 BIP39 words that mean something between you and the person which celebrate. But before you create rhe seed, try if it's a valid combination.  

 Dude no, this is not secure. A seed like that does not have enough entropy.  

 As I said, it should be tested first.  

 Give them a sats card with .25 to .5 mil sats (.0025- .005) on it  and wait. Tell them they can give it back in a year or pay you what it was worth in fiat a year ago to keep it. 

They grow their understanding over the course of that year every time. It's pseudo skin in the game.  

 bisq 

 Throw them in the deep end and send them an ecash token 

 Give 'em 12 words on a piece of paper with no explanation.  If they can figure it out, they deserve the sats.  If they can't, sell them hints.  😉
