cool gift.
maybe include something of a roadmap for best practices to getting started on the platform (besides the usual "be consistent blah blah blah" stuff - but include that too as it's something most of us struggle with due to a variety of reasons.
It seems self explanatory, but if he doesn't find a way to get hooked within the first couple of days, i'd assume he (and most others) would drop off the platform rarely to return.
enjoy the holiday. nothing like the joy of giving someone a gift and seeing them light up. hope that happens in this case.
cheers
Yes, that is a great idea. I was having a bit of a brainstorming session with someone about making a STEEM Gift-card service where you can give Christmas cards, Birthday cards or other holiday-themed gift cards that takes the person who receives it to an account creation service that includes a gimified tutorial giving different tips and tricks.
Also, I'm trying to get rid of the idea people have that in order to invite someone to STEEM, the person must necessarily want to blog persistently. STEEM is becoming more valuable as new applications that have very little to do with blogging gets built on the blockchain.
Thanks for the comment! I wish you a happy holiday as well, and look forward to seeing how the gift is received and hope to see many other steemians follow the example :)
