user1675: I am interested in buying bitcoins and giving bitcoins to babies as "birth gifts" and birthday presents.
Assuming I've purchased the necessary bitcoins and they are in my wallet, how do I go about giving bitcoins to someone who doesn't have a wallet? 

user659: Here are two sites which allow you to send bitcoins to an email address.  Perhaps try sending yourself tiny amounts with each site to see how they work:

http://coinapult.com/
https://cowcoin.com/


user78: In addition to other options, you can just print out a cool Dr Evil (or custom) styled paper wallet.


user1676: You can use Brainwallet to generate a new private/public key pair. Click on the "recycle" symbol near "Secret Exponent", write down the private key and send bitcoins to the given address.
The private key is the only thing needed to recover the bitcoins. You can print it on some pretty support, but make sure it cannot be copied by a third party. You can even keep an encrypted backup in case the private key is later lost.

user323: Probably the most appealing way to do that would be by using Physical Bitcoins - they look nice as coins, and since they can hold Bitcoins, it's another bonus. It's definitely better for casual people than giving them Bitcoins in a normal way - at least coins are something they can physically grasp, rather than trying to understand what a cryptocurrency is.
