I can feel Christmas coming in fast. 

>Did you know as of today it's 12 days until Christmas?

Who here has finished their shopping?

I haven't, though really, now that the kids are older they don't want toys anymore they want money.

I thought why not spread the joy of Steemit, kill lots of birds with one stone and give away Steem or SBD instead of fiat. List of reasons [here](https://steemit.com/promo-steem/@bearone/steemit-gift-certificates-draft-stage-i-need-the-steemit-think-tank-on-this-one) in my draft blog.

It's been a week since the draft blog and today being Photoshop Day, I figured it's time to finish off the vouchers/gift certificates today.

<h1>Here is another look at the draft I posted a week ago.</h1>

>To everyone who stopped by on that post and left a comment **Thank You**. I took them all on board and considered them during the next phase of the design.

One of the things that was brought up was how the transfer was going to happen. After all if it's still in my wallet then I haven't given anything away.

This is true.

I did want this to not only be a conversation starter but as possible lesson in investing money not only for the kids, but also for the adults which meant making space on the design where I can briefly explain Steemit, Steem and SBD.

This time around I didn't do anything to the logo except add a slight shadow at the back to make it stand out a bit. I am all for that brand recognition!


<h1>Before I continue.....</h1>
Please note, I have contacted @steemitblog on steemit.chat to ask permission to use the logo in this fashion. I haven't heard back, but then again I'm not sure if I even got the right person. There was two 'steemitblog(s)' when I did my search.

If this isn't Ok, that's fine, I'm happy to take it down and not print it, but can you please make one like it so I can give my family Steem/SBD for Christmas in style with a little writing and explanation? 🙏 

Also! Since I am now waiting to hear back from the powers that be regarding the logo, I have decided not to post the full A4 PDF versions and opted for single low res previews instead.

If I do hear back and get the green light, I'll publish the PDF so we can all give our loved ones the gift of Steemit this Christmas. Be ready to do a whole talk if you do! The more confident, passionate and thorough you are the more effective you will be at recruitment.

<h1>Are you ready?</h1>

The text reads:

>STEEM and SBD are cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin). 
They can be earned by posting or curating content on Steemit.com, or bought through various trading websites.
>
>Like Bitcoin, Steem and SBD’s value can, in time, be worth thousands.
It can also be exchanged for fiat currency ($) and can be directly 
transfered  into your bank account, used to pay a bill or credit card 
with only a few clicks.
>
>To CLAIM your Steem/SBD and join the revolution sign up to 
Steemit.com and contact the giver of this voucher with your 
username once registration is complete.
>
>To CASH OUT your Steem/SBD, please return this voucher to the giver.
Transfer of funds will be available via circled options.

Crisp white for the economic gifter, I don't think this will take too much out of your printer.

Night Mode! Possibly ink heavy but oh so sexy.

For that special snowflake?

<h1>Did I miss something?</h1>
If I missed an important detail on the gift vouchers, or if I should change the writing, please let me know in the comments.

It is a scorcher here in the mountains today and my brain is fried. I think I covered everything but I could have always missed something.

That's it for me and Steemit for the day. Enjoy your Wednesday everyone!
