I am well aware of
https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ but is there a similar tool that generates ready to print paper wallets with some fancy designs, qr codes, etc)?
I want to gift a small amount of BTC to a friend and decided on a printed and laminated paper wallet (3 copies) using a 24 words seed + passphrase (25th word) that I will tell to my friend and instruct him not to write it down anywhere (he will definitely remember it).
What other options are there for a gift where the storage medium is either free or costs cents?
No I am not aware of any paper wallet using a BIP39 seed instead of a private key, paper wallets only use one single address while a seed is linked to several addresses, therefore it's not adapted to a paper wallet use.
