You only have a week left until you are forced to put down some gifts either under a tree, inside a stocking, or on the office table. I’m going to bet you have no clue about what to get for that special someone (or not so special someone that you have to appease due to how society mandates).
The most common misconception about gift-giving is that it should be in consideration of the receiver. When’s the last time you actually received something you really love? Do you really love those whiskey stones? Do you?
So this year, give a gift that makes you look cool, trendy, and knowledgeable. What else screams “future-oriented, knowledgeable, mysterious, risky, and overall an alpha human” than cryptocurrency?
Bitcoin is now officially above $20,000 so you won’t look like a complete degenerate, either. Hey, perhaps your “investment banking” friend who’s been stuck at the same desk for the past 5 years might actually ask you for advice.
So without further ado, here’s a list of Top 10 Crypto Gifts for Christmas this year.
10. Bitcoin Socks (Under $15, Amazon)
Socks can be either lame gifts, or really great gifts, depending on who the recipient is. My personal recommendation is that if you have a friend or a colleague who did not age well through this year and is starting to really be into dad jokes, this is the gift for them. Priced under $15 USD, this would fit any office’s Secret Santa price limitation, too. Moreover, who wouldn’t love pretending like they are Bitcoin whales? Spoiler: I have not met any well-known whales wear these socks. You can find them on Amazon.
9. Bitcoin Christmas Jumper (Under $45, Amazon)
Who doesn’t love Christmas jumpers? I know I do. So gift someone special this Bitcoin Christmas jumper, and watch them attract so many weird people who will swear that they got into Bitcoin “way before 2017”, and that they “own something like 20,000 Bitcoins or something like that”, but they have lost it all because they “lost the password” or “had it in my computer and I forgot to back up the drive before throwing out my computer”. I’ve been to plenty of Christmas parties and conferences to know all their excuses. However, at least the one who is wearing this jumper will stand out! You can find this opposite of a Christmas mistletoe on Amazon.
8. “Kryptowährungen” by William Lakefield (Under $15, Amazon)
If you are German, you probably don’t get my idea. If you are not German, you probably don’t understand the book, but you get my idea. Nothing tells “I’m a serious expert” more than a book in German.
Try this with me. Say, “I’m reading a book about cryptocurrency investment”. On a scale of 1 to 10, how cool and sophisticated do you sound? Probably around 3, and that is coming from the word “book”, not “cryptocurrency investment”.
Now, say “I’m reading a book about kryptowährungsinvestition”. You sound like a serious expert, already! So gift someone the power of social clout, and an accidental lesson in German. If they are German, great! They can actually learn a thing or two about kryptowährungsinvestition. You can buy this ticket to instant social authority on Amazon.
7. Nano Ledger X (Under $160, Nano)
Nothing is cooler than actually holding a piece of something that is used in the Blockchain ecosystem. The most basic of that is a hardware wallet, used to access your cryptocurrency assets. This is for those who are thinking about some serious investment. Nano Ledger X costs around $160. If the receiver is thinking about investing “I don’t know, maybe a hundred bucks”, then is it pointless? Absolutely not! Remember what I said: gift-giving is about you.
So gift someone this cold, rigid key to future cryptocurrency investments and keeping their funds #safu. They will feel like you just gifted them a key to a private, VIP party. You can purchase Nano Ledger X at the official Ledger website: https://shop.ledger.com/products/ledger-nano-x
6. SecuX V20 (Under $140, SecuX)
Ledger X is not fancy enough for you? Try SecuX V20. Even from the name, you can feel the premium. SecuX V20 offers military-grade protection for your cryptocurrency assets, along with other impressive features.
Moreover, it comes with a sleek aluminum case! So you will look like you are gifting an ape a piece of the future. Don’t forget that this is also for those who are looking to invest some serious money into cryptocurrency. However, it doesn’t hurt to gift it to someone who needs something more visual than Ledger X.
You can find SecuX V20 on SecuX Technology’s official website: https://shop.secuxtech.com/
5. Bondly BCCG NFT (Price Varies, Rarible or OpenSea)
NFT, or Non-Fungible Tokens, are digital collectibles. If you think that’s silly, pretending much? Every one of us collected Pokemon cards and YuGiOh cards when we were young. Some of us still collect them. Just like those precious cards you collected since young, NFTs can experience a significant increase in valuation price, depending on the market. So they also serve as an investment.
What’s unique about Bondly Finance BCCG NFT Cards is that you also receive airdrops in Bondly token for holding these NFTs. So your recipient will always be grateful, and you will look like the expert who understands what is best for others. Moreover, you get to explain how NFTs work, and how to use Rarible or OpenSea! So your expert score is going to go up, exponentially!
You can find these NFTs on both Rarible and OpenSea.
4. A Customised Blockchain Address (Around $7, Starname)
Remember the time when having your “own star” was the coolest thing? You could pay a few bucks, and have ownership of some distant star. What if there was an equivalent of that on Blockchain, but much sexier, easier, and more useful?
With Starname, you can make a customised Blockchain wallet address. This means that instead of a wallet address that honestly looks like a cat ran over your keyboard, you will have a simple, sophisticated Blockchain wallet address, like *Siwon.
That customised address is now on the Blockchain. Your name can exist on the Blockchain. How cool is that? Moreover, when someone asks you for your wallet address, instead of saying “Okay, hold on… searches through a list of wallet addresses … wait a moment… logs into the exchange account, types in the 2FA password, wait for the SMS notification, select 5 fire hydrants, solve a puzzle, click a few buttons…here!”, you can simply say something like “it’s *Siwon”.
There is nothing more flex than that. You just flexed on everyone around you — even the guy that owns 2 pairs of Airpods.
You can purchase your own customised Blockchain wallet address on Starname’s official website. Find out more at: https://starname.me/
3. SpiderVPN + Router (Plan Varies, SpiderVPN)
What if actual participation in Blockchain and cryptocurrency could start at a point that is familiar to the mass? How about an internet router for your home?
The SpiderConnect Router isn’t just a regular internet router for those “normies”. It has a built-in VPN to protect all your internet activities while allowing you to easily configure your VPN settings via a nifty dashboard. Yes, you can also watch Netflix and Hulu, even if you are stuck in a country with terrible Netflix series options like me.
The best part is that with a SpiderConnect Router, you can stake some SPDR tokens, receive your Spider ID, and participate in the governance model of SpiderDAO. You also get to receive some SPDR tokens — which was filled out in less than 1 minute on Polkastarter, and listed on Uniswap, now trading at around 4x its listing price.
So this router is literally where it all starts. You can bring in your recipient into the complex world of cryptocurrency and Blockchain. This experience will bond you two as no others can. Moreover, you are going to look like a true professional, who is aware of the recent trends.

2. M2 Pro Miner ($2800, MatchX)
Why are you in crypto? Don’t tell me it’s because of tech. Maybe it is for a small part, but you are looking for ways to make money. And boy, does M2 pro do exactly that.
M2 Pro is a new type of cryptocurrency miner that uses PoP — or “Proof of Participation”. You participate in the network and offer your connectivity, and get paid in cryptocurrency per usage.
Sounds too complicated? Not at all. M2 Pro comes with a simple smartphone app that allows you to monitor your mining progress from anywhere in the world, and also stake the mined tokens to further increase your profits.
With a mining rate of around $10 to $15 USD per day, and an operational cost of virtually 0 (as it is not a PoW model), miners are looking at a monthly profit of around $300 to $450 per month. Of course, it would change depending on the value of the token.
However, it is announced that M2 Pro will soon support multi-token mining, allowing you to mine high-demand tokens such as MXC, Bitcoin, DHX, and more, at the same time. So in the worst-case scenario, this would protect your minimum profit margin by spreading your risk for holding.
Imagine giving this as a gift to your significant other. Not only does it look like the freaking future, but you will also look like a serious ballwer.

1. You to Stop Complaining (FREE, You)
That’s right. The best gift you can give if you are into cryptocurrency.
We want to celebrate your wins together, but we don’t want to hear you freaking out when you are losing even a bit of money (ever heard of high risk, high reward?).
Unlike others, this one is completely free. It also adds to your character!
So this Christmas, worry less about the market. Bitcoin broke its all-time high. Times are good. Put your phone down for a second, make sure to close out some open positions, and take a much-deserved break. You deserve it, and so do the others around you.
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year in advance!
I’ll see you back in the jungle next year.
