For those still grappling with what to get their tech-savvy loved ones this holiday season, your search might just be over. The world of cryptocurrency is not only changing the financial landscape but also the world of gifting. From hardware wallets to books and T-shirts, this season there is a crypto-themed gift for everyone.
First on the list is the Ledger Stax, a hardware wallet with an innovative design from iPod creator Tony Fadell. Unlike any other on the market, it boasts a sleek exterior and a curved E Ink screen to display your NFTs. Inside, it uses the same secure element as the rest of Ledger’s line-up to protect your digital assets.
For those interested in the artistic side of crypto, Taschen’s book “On NFTs” is a fascinating read. Known for their hefty, high-quality coffee-table books, Taschen’s foray into the world of non-fungible tokens is a significant nod to the space. The book offers a comprehensive survey of the NFT space, featuring 10 essays and profiles of 101 artists, along with abundant illustrations.
For a more light-hearted gift, you might consider the HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu T-shirt. As the meme coin culture goes mainstream, this T-shirt design mashes together pop culture icons, making it one of the most unique gifts of the season.
A gripping read for anyone interested in the darker side of crypto, “Tracers in the Dark: The Global Hunt for the Crime Lords of Cryptocurrency” by WIRED writer Andy Greenberg explores how law enforcement agencies use blockchain analytics tools to track down criminals.
For a secure way to store digital assets, the Trezor Safe 5 is a less flashy but equally reliable alternative to the Ledger Stax. It offers a color touchscreen and support for over 7,000 different cryptocurrencies.
For the NFT enthusiast, the Pudgy Penguins Celebrity Box is a must-have. It comprises a plush toy, an action figure, a smaller clip-on plush, an igloo toy, and a certificate to claim a free NFT for the Pudgy World gaming platform.
For those who appreciate the mystery behind Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, a bust styled after a sculpture in Budapest, Hungary, could make an intriguing gift. The resin model serves as a reminder that “we are all Satoshi,” a nod to the decentralized ethos of cryptocurrency.
Lastly, “CryptoPunks: Free to Claim” is a coffee-table book that pays homage to the original NFT collection. The book catalogs all 10,000 CryptoPunks, and includes essays and contributions from notables in the crypto space, including NFT artist Beeple and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
In summary, whether your loved ones are diehard crypto enthusiasts or just dipping their toes in the space, these crypto-themed gifts are sure to bring some cheer this holiday season.
