Thanks for the feedback! I understand we have different approaches, so let me explain the reasoning behind mine—I think it might actually better serve your "intro level saver" goal.
Consider this scenario:
- Person A gets your detailed guide → feels obligated to follow 10+ steps → gets stuck on River KYC → frustrated, card sits unused
- Person B gets focused SATSCARD intro → understands they own Bitcoin → explores at their own pace when motivated → successful onboarding
If you need funding instructions, I can create a separate supplementary sheet for "When you're ready to add more Bitcoin" that covers funding options without KYC requirements (BTMs, peer-to-peer, etc.). But cramming that into a gift introduction, I think it just creates cognitive overload. Better to gift the card already loaded, no?

Made this for @justin_shocknet few days ago.
That's how I currently see Ln.pub and WhockWallet, usable yes, but much body work needs to be done to improve the UX.
Which ones? From where?
After playing with some cards, I'll go into gifting pk directly and keep a backup, just in case they never get swept.
That's much better alternative, I agree. I did something similar three years ago. Not using cards, just printing out some custom postcards with a QR code on it. It worked really well, two contacted me to learn about lightning and redeemed the sats.
So what should I do with these satscards? Just gift them empty?
I've some extra satscards parked at home, so decided to load them up with some sats and made a tri-fold to distribute as a gift during the upcoming weeks.

I'd avoid suggesting apps, especially if they require KYC. That's inconsistent with the bitcoin ethos. My suggestion is to simply focus on the SATSCARD onboarding; the receiver will figure out how to spend, or how to fund, the bitcoin in it whenever ready for it.
I put together a printable tri-fold for you, but that I'll actually use in the coming weeks. It has a dedicated space for placing the SATSCARD and another middle space for writing some good wishes notes for the receiver. You can check more detail and source file here #1339714
I did this wrong so many times and lost so many sats that I feel confident sharing with you something that has been working for me many times now, giving them Bitcoin + a card. Let the gift be simple. Let their curiosity drive the next steps. That's how you create savers, not confused users who abandon under confusion.
Would you be open to a two-part approach: (1) Gift introduction (my design) + (2) optional funding guide? So you can also choose to gift the cards empty (for them to fill) or filled for some of your special and dear ones.
