The following Tweet kicked off a good Twitter thread with numerous options:
I want to be able to give out / tip in #Bitcoin easily without having to explain how to setup a wallet.
I want to be able to get the sats back if the person doesn't claim the sats within x days.
Who's working on this?

Great list!
You could also make a new wallet in whatever software you want, write some directions in how to the seed into bluewallet or something and sweep to a new wallet, and just keep a copy of the seed phrase. Put on the directions that itll “expire” whenever and then just sweep the funds if they don’t claim them.
Edit: i saw brad said “without explaining how to set up a wallet” but i think having some easy to follow, self contained directions is actually a decent solution if you’re trying to make it asynchronous
I hadn't seen the laisee vouchers before. They did a really nice job with the template. Made a few via their telegram bot (you can also download the template and use your own lnbits) and they came out very nice.
Found another voucher method:
As always, you have wonderful lists !
