In the midst of the holiday season, trying to find the right gifts for the right people, I started thinking about my interest in Bitcoin and how I can share that with others in my family.

What Bitcoin-related gifts are you all buying your friends and family?

Let this be the single thread for sharing BTC gifts and ideas.

Happy holidays!

Unfortunately I dont have enough BTC to be chariteable about it, would rather just buy it with fiat.
You could just send them BTC thats all, so they learn how to use it.

Yeah. The best gift about BTCitcoin is BTCitcoin and Paper wallets inside a traditional gift item sounds nice.

A Cassacius coin would be a great gift, if you can get your hands on one. But obviously too expensive to gift to multiple people .

If Casascius coins are too expensive for you, you couldn't always get some of those bitcards, they have much smaller denominations.

Thanks for the responses, I'll check out the links.

Btw, what are Bitcards?

Casascius coins are better used for gifts for myself... Grin

One more thought...

Sending someone BTC is a great idea but if someone has zero exposure to BTC they're likely to just ignore the gift or cash it in...it doesn't really engage them in it, it doesn't spark curiosity.

Thanks for the ideas, any more are also helpful!

You could try some honey from the Bees Brothers
Get something off newegg
Or purchase a silver wallet (Silver Bitcoin)

Of those three probally doing the honey and the Silver bitcoin, newegg stuff is cool though.

A silver wallet would probably be the only thing (apart from a physical bitcoin) that is actually bitcoin related.

While I would encourage people to use their bitcoin at merchants that accept bitcoin, doing so would not really educate the gift receiver the benefits about bitcoin

What would you have in mind Willisius
A silver wallet is a physical bitcoin but the only other things I can think of would be a Bitcoin T-shirt or a Trezor

Bitcoin stickers and pins seem more like novelty items.
Other than that an old usb mining stick tops the list of Bitcoin items per se, but items you can purchase with Bitcoin to give to others seems like a convo starter.

(cannot think of many directly related bitcoin items)

These type of things pretty much sums it up as to what bitcoin related items you really can give others.

I would also disagree that a sliver wallet is a physical bitcoin as it does not come preloaded with any inputs (you need to generate your own private key and print out a QR code)

Shirts, Phyiscal coins , Stickers, Pins and old USB miners

Fair enough, its not a Causcius since it didn't come with a preloaded value so your right, anyways if the OP meant bitcoin items only pretty much wrote the whole list there unless I'm missing something ah thought of one custom wood products from the Woodcollector with a Bitcoin symbol on it.

But other than possible handmade goods think it makes more sense to mention things you can purchase with Bitcoin to give to others than just Bitcoin items.

(Until someone creates a marketplace with Bitcoin styled swag)

How about Santa Bag with 'fake' touchable bitcoin in it? Or maybe a Santa Suit with 'lot' of Bitcoin? Hmm.. if there is a Bitcoin Santa this year.. it will be great!

So sad! This profile does not appear as the #1 result (on anonymous) Google searches anymore.

Time to be active on the crypto forums again? Proud to be one of the few Legendary members of the Sparkie Red Dot!

Gonna put this on my resume if I ever join a cryptocurrency/blockchain industry!

I like the silver wallets, if you are in the mood to give someone a very expensive gift go for that:
