Crypto Gift Cards
The cards work exactly like retail gift cards. Visit a website that sells Bitcoin gift cards, buy the Bitcoins you wish to give and pay the amount. You will receive a gift card, which you can share with your loved ones. They can visit the same website and get the Bitcoin deposited in their digital wallet by entering the details. Companies such as Coinbase, Binance, CashApp and Robinhood allow their users to purchase gift cards.
Crypto Exchanges
Another way of gifting crypto coins is through a crypto exchange. You can send the number of the crypto coins directly to their public address. If the recipient does not have an account on a crypto exchange or digital wallets, they will have to set up one.

Using the private key, the recipient can authorise the transaction and receive the gift.
