A Card and A Party for Sofia, the Youngest Ethereum Holder
If you are thinking of gift ideas for birthdays, or for Christmas maybe, how does crypto-gift sound? And while you're at it, why not make a cute card too!

My God-daughter Sofia, daughter to two other steemians @wristalkph and @thedailymom, celebrated her 1st Birthday last Sunday.
It was a fun-filled Jollibee Kiddie party with face-painting, balloon-twisting and a candy station for the kids to enjoy. I was planning on covering the cost for the baloon-twisting booth but her mom, my bestest friend, said in our chat conversation:
But Sofia wants Ethereum Ninang.
Ninang- Filipino term for female God-parent.
Ethereum it is then. I was cracking my brain on how to present the gift, when @precise came up with a creative idea- make qrcodes with Sofia's photo on it!
Step 1: Create QRcodes
And he worked his magic on the computer. Watching the process, it was fairly simple. Just go to a site that allows you to create qrcodes, choose the design you want and use images of choice.
Ta-da! Qrcodes for her Ethereum address, ethplorer address and her very important private key made with love!

Curious on how much ethereum she owns? Take out your scanner and check this out!
Step 2: Print as Photos
As seen above, these were printed as wallet-sized photos.
Step 3: The Card Creation
I used pink special papers, buttons, gold ribbon, clear nail-polish, glue, pen and a pair of scissors.

Folded the paper in half, then pasted the photos on the right-hand inner side.

Notes on the card:
Top photo- Ethplorer
Baby Sofia, please tell mommy and daddy to scan this to view how much ethereum you now own. I must say you just might be the youngest crypto-investor there is!
Middle Photo- Ethereum Address
Have this scanned too, so you'd know your ethereum address. Mommy, daddy or other ninongs and ninangs just might want to add more for you!
Bottom Photo- Private Key
This one though should be scanned in PRIVATE, this is NOT for sharing as it safe-keeps your ETH. Only mommy and daddy should know this for now.

Proceeded to create the card cover. It was a Hello Kitty-themed party so I drew a silhouette, pasted a gold ribbon and wrote Sofia's name on it. Traced it with a clear nail-polish for added sheen. Cut and pasted this on the card front, along with buttons of different shapes and colors formed as a flower.

On the inner left-hand side, a simple birthday greeting was written. This was also traced with clear nail polish for extra glow.

Raphael was watching me do this, and asked-
I said I'm making a card for Sofia's birthday, it will be our gift for her. He worriedly said,
Oh no! I don't have a gift! Oh mommy I have an idea! I can cut-out a heart and write Happy Birthday Sofia!
And so he did. A heart made with 💖 from Rafa.
This was added as a loose insert on the card.

The Finished Product
And here, I present- an ethereum gift card for one-year old Sofia!

The Party
It was well-attended and the kids and kids-at-heart had loads of fun! @luvabi, @greymonolith, Mika and Dru, @jeanelleybee, Nathan, @precise, myself, Raphael and our Manang Amelia had a great time.

There were games for young kids and "older" kids, and as mentioned- a candy bar, face-painting and baloon-twisting stations.

And of course the well-loved Jollibee mascot made an attendance and danced! I was too stoked seeing him and so I gave him a high-five!
Photo-op with the most-loved bee.

Of course Raphael had to change his shirt being sweaty and all from all the running and playing. So here he was sporting Aqua Minnow!

Thoughts- what if we give out SBD or STEEM this Christmas? I for one won't mind receiving these.

That’s such a cool idea and love how you presented it :)
Thanks @tattoodjay! Now I'm thinking of just handing out crypto-gift-cards this Christmas!
That’s a great idea I am considering the same for a few family members
Wow. What an innovative way of gifting. Loved reading it. Beautiful pics. God bless the children. Upvoted and following u now.

Thank you @nainaztengra! I had fun making it, glad for the appreciation :)
Really nice idea. Pwede n steem or sbd mem. :D
It is it is! Haha
Perfect idea with some nice entertaining image @dreamiely
Thanks @mdsajjad!
Ahhhmmm, Ninang, can I give you my eth wallet address too? 😊😅
Seriously, this is a very ingenious idea. The qrcode is cute too!
It is cute isn't it? I just might tell Rafa's godparents to give him crypto, too!
True. Most of the times, children are gifted toys or clothes which rather end up unused. If cash, there's a tendency of it being spent immediately if the parent is not able to put it in the child's bank a/c. 😅
Yep, my friend's exact words were...
At least sure na na nakainvest
O di ba im so proud of our generation! We are starting to evolve from 'employee' mentality. I mean nothing wrong with it, pero nakakatuwa na natututo din tayo ng ibang financial ways ^_^
Ninang malapit na pasko regalo ko po :-)
Haha ako po magmamano sa inyo ninong 😂
Very sweet and creative idea!
Thanks @thealliance!
This is too cute!!!! I see a great future for this child already! :D
I wouldn't mind receiving some cypto coins as Christmas gift either. Hahahahah
Hopefully ethereum shoots up as expected and she ends up having a nice, sizeable wallet ^_^
This is a cute surprise for the birthday celebrant. So techy!
As cute as the celebrant herself @gailbelga ^_^
and as cute her lovely ninang din! dont forget that!
Ay thank you pretty gail ^_^
welcome ate ganda<3
galing nmn mam, hehehe kunin pala kita ninang sa birthday ko.. hahaha pwedi ba yon?.. joke lang poh..
Hahaha fall in line! Dami applicants to be dreamy's God-child hahaha.
