13 Christmas Gifts Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Users Will Love

Forget ugly sweaters and fruitcakes. This Christmas it’s all about Bitcoin bling and blockchain fun.

Whether your loved one is mining cryptocurrency under the mistletoe, using non-fungible tokens like Christmas ornaments, or staking tokens while sipping eggnog, Cointelegraph’s 2024 Christmas Gift Guide is the perfect gift to brighten their holiday. Give gifts.

Here are 13 Web3 gifts to round out for cryptocurrency enthusiasts this holiday season.

1. Cryptocurrency phones are the gift that keeps on giving

Solana’s second-generation phone, “Seeker,” features features such as a cryptocurrency wallet, NFT marketplace, and DApp integration.

Seekers’ predecessor, Saga, is known for offering lucrative airdrops to its owners, and Solana Labs claims Seeker will be a “rewards magnet” as well.

The downside to choosing the Seeker as a Christmas gift is that it won’t be available physically this Christmas. The pre-order price for “early adopters” is $500 and is expected to be released next year.

There is also an Ethereum option. Freedom Factory, the ethOS operating system team, has released “dGen1”, which allows you to interact with decentralized apps and sign transactions on Ethereum.

Like the Seeker, the pre-order price is $500 (Ether) and the device is advertised for release in 2025, but is not expected to feature cellular communications.

2. Let them know you were right

If you’re thinking of giving a little token of appreciation to everyone in your family, skip the mugs this Christmas and head to Etsy to buy a scented candle that says “I guess I was right about Bitcoin.”

Think back to all those evening discussions where entire families would rally around dismissing enthusiasm for Bitcoin while citing legendary investor Warren Buffett’s “rat poison squared” criticism of Bitcoin.

But who is smiling now?

For $30, you can gift your relatives a scented candle that will not only show them that you were right about Bitcoin, but will also allow them to see and smell it.

The candles come in six scents, including sea salt and cinnamon vanilla.

3. PlayStation or Nintendo Switch on Web3

For gamers, the SuiPlay0x1 portable console is a game changer, available for pre-order for $600. Combining blockchain technology and immersive gameplay, this device allows players to truly own their in-game assets.

It’s the perfect gift for anyone who wants to play games and earn tokens like it’s 2025.

The blockchain gaming world is entering the new year with strong momentum, thanks to the success of Avalanche-powered Off The Grid and Mythical Games’ collaboration with FIFA.

More mainstream gaming companies are also exploring blockchain integration, recognizing that keeping the technology seamless and unobtrusive can ease gamers’ skepticism about blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

Innovative developers have designed games that allow players to enjoy the benefits of blockchain without having to understand or use the underlying mechanics.

4. Cryptocurrency mining kit for beginners

For the curious enthusiast, a USB Bitcoin Miner is a great way to dip your toes into the world of cryptocurrency mining.

The GekkoScience Compac F is a great place to start. It gets pretty hot so make sure you get one with a fan. This will save you about $200.

If you want a more aesthetically pleasing option, you can purchase the Mars Lander Solo Bitcoin Miner for $430.

These small plug-and-play devices allow anyone to participate in the hashing process of the Bitcoin network, usually as part of a mining pool. They won’t make you rich, but think of them as mining for fun, education and the occasional Satoshi rather than a serious source of income.

5. Send into the digital world with the Metaverse headset

Metaverse is a virtual playground that cryptocurrency enthusiasts enjoy exploring. Whether you’re playing a game, participating in a virtual event, or staking a claim to digital real estate, a high-quality VR headset is your ticket to the action.

The $500 Meta Quest 3 and $1,100 HTC Vive XR Elite both offer cutting-edge immersion, while the $550 Viture Pro XR glasses offer a less immersive but sleeker, travel-friendly option.

This gift says, “You’re not just online, you’re living in it.” Perfect for travelers, gamers, or anyone who believes the metaverse is the future and wants to jump headfirst into it.

6. Wallet-connected digital frame for newly valuable NFTs

For NFT enthusiasts, Tokenframe’s digital display connects directly to your cryptocurrency wallet, allowing you to display your treasured digital collectibles brightly and in high definition. Forget about your dusty old picture frames. This is the fashion style of the 21st century.

Whether it’s rare monkey art or pixelated punk, these frames elevate NFTs from digital files to decorative masterpieces.

A 10-inch frame costs $333, and a 55-inch frame costs $2,777.

7. Stream Vitalik Buterin Documentary

Give Ethereum enthusiasts streaming access to “Vitalik: An Ethereum Story” as an insight into one of the greatest minds of his generation.

This documentary explores the journey of Vitalik Buterin and the creation of Ethereum, providing a fascinating look into the prodigy (now prodigy) behind the blockchain giant.

Access is provided via NFT tickets that can be issued for just 10 USD coins (USDC). Pro tip: If you don’t want to pay more for gas than the ticket itself costs, use a layer 2 solution like Base.

8. Go hard or don’t come home for Christmas

Encourage your loved ones to store their digital treasures in a hardware wallet. These gadgets store your private keys offline, away from hackers, malware, and the darkest corners of the Internet. For a tried-and-true classic, you can choose between the Ledger Nano S ($80) or the Trezor Model T ($130). It is much more secure as you have to physically press a button to authorize the transaction.

If you really want to go hard this year, pick up the new Ledger Stax with a curved e-ink touchscreen for $400.

But remember that phishing is still dangerous. As long as you are careful and keep your recovery phrase safe, your cryptocurrency will remain safe.

9. Disaster prevention wallet and password

Hardware wallets can protect your cryptocurrencies from hackers, but life comes with ever-changing situations. Natural disasters, fires, and even electromagnetic pulses (yes, like in science fiction movies) can damage your electronics and cryptocurrency wallets.

Faraday bags are a simple solution to protect your cryptocurrency wallet from electromagnetic pulses. The Privacy Expert’s Faraday bag costs $25, which is a small price to pay for peace of mind.

They also offer a seed phrase metal plate for $100 to complete the disaster prevention duo. These indestructible backups keep your recovery phrases safe from fire, water, and even serious coffee spills.

Together, these gifts ensure that your cryptocurrency remains secure no matter what life or the apocalypse throws at you.

10. Bitcoin (of course)

A few Bitcoins is like putting cash on a modern-day holiday card. You can buy them in fractions, so you don’t have to break the bank.

For a fun twist, try combining tradition and innovation by sending a Christmas card with 24 random words. True Bitcoiners will know exactly what it is, while their non-coin expert cousins ​​will embark on a holiday treasure hunt.

If you’re very wealthy, you could even give them a physical Bitcoin, like the one that was recently gifted to President-elect Donald Trump.

If Bitcoin is too mainstream for the lucky recipient, there could be at least 2.4 million other cryptocurrency choices, including fan favorites Doge and Ethereum, according to CoinMarketCap.

11. Cute penguin doll

In April 2022, entrepreneur Luca Netz acquired Pudgy Penguins for 750 ETH (about $2.5 million at the time). He expanded the brand beyond digital art into tangible goods, including a line of toys that quickly became popular.

Now Pudgy Penguins toys are delightful gifts that bridge the digital and physical realms.

Each toy comes with a QR code that provides access to Pudgy World, an online platform offering games and digital experiences.

12. Gift of Knowledge

Help you level up your cryptocurrency knowledge by selecting the most influential books in the field.

Beginners will appreciate titles like The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous or The Internet of Money series by Andreas Antonopoulos, which break down complex concepts.

Advanced enthusiasts may prefer a subscription to a data platform like Nansen or Messari, which allows them to dig into wallet activity and token flows and turn the data into actionable intelligence.

With so many powerful tools at our fingertips, knowledge becomes a waste of time for anyone who spends the winter holidays with their dashboard instead of watching Christmas movies on Netflix.

13. Send it to a cryptocurrency conference

For cryptocurrency enthusiasts who dream of standing shoulder to shoulder with the best names in the industry, a ticket to a major cryptocurrency conference is the perfect gift.

Our live events and conferences are filled with thought-provoking panels, innovative technology showcases, and valuable networking opportunities.

The annual Bitcoin Conference is usually the biggest, like the Wrestlemania or Superbowl of the cryptocurrency world. Ticket prices for the May Las Vegas conference range from $389 to $7,500.

In fact, the after-party is half the fun. Whether it’s learning about the next trend, presenting the latest projects, or just enjoying the atmosphere with like-minded cryptocurrency fans, these conferences are where the action comes in.
