Tried the new https://gifts.bitcoin.com/ service. Was using https://tips.bitcoin.com/ before. This was the experience:

no seed QR code for easy wallet import

gift manager link (seed) not sent to email (as opposed to (tips.bitcoin.com/)

need to hit space after copy/pasting the seed to the bitcoin.com wallet. Otherwise the "Import wallet" button is disabled

✖ after importing the seed by copy/paste the wallet is empty (?!)

🙂 more fiat currencies

🙂 custom amounts

✖ no option to put custom text - dealbreaker. The pdf could be easily double-sided.

no "1 year (max)" expiry in dropdown, need to put date manually

🙂 almost no spaces between the gift cards - good for cutting.(tips.bitcoin.com/ tips are a bit spaced)

pdf quality is poor - blurred

no hint that browser printing works ("To print, select Print from your browser's menu."). This produces OK quality print.

need to adjust scale to 130% to be business card sized, otherwise too tiny

need to additionally check "Background graphics" option (no need on tips.bitcoin.com/ )

🙂 more traditional paper wallet onboarding experience

🙂 gift manager can sweep funds anytime (with tips.bitcoin.com/ you need to wait for expiration)

bitcoin.com wallet cannot send to the gift card QR code

Conclusion - has huge potential, however for now i need to go back to using https://tips.bitcoin.com/ :( The Tips service is already disabled.
