Was having a tough time deciding which gift card I wanted on eGifter, but I selected a $148.82 Amazon.com card. Nice workaround for the fact that Amazon doesn't accept Bitcoin yet and of course I got triple points from eGifter for doing that. Don't worry guys; I'm not giving up on Bitcoin. I'm just handling a few changes in my life that warranted the purchase of a gift card.

Using BTC is a good way to promote it.

I bought my dad's Christmas present with bitcoins on Amazon through purse.io

Slingbox on Amazon: $133

Price paid with Bitcoin: $104

Not needing to bother with fiat: Priceless.

There are some things money can buy. But if you want to buy it cheaper there's Bitcoin.

First seastead company actually selling sea homes: Ocean Builders https://ocean.builders  Of course we accept bitcoin.

I'd love to spend my coins but won't be anytime soon because of the price. I'm glad others are still spending them though and I'm hoping for more adoption in the future both to push the price and also so I can spend them on things I want.

Was there a good discount when you bought amazon gift cards with your bitcoins?

Just buy btc to replace what you spent. I bought a lot of presents with btc. With Overstock and Gyft there really is no reason to not use btc for Christmas. Gyft is offering 3% back for Bitcoin purchases right now.

I had a hard time getting the iPhone 6 from there. You need to make sure you get a listing where it shows the price in the ad on Amazon.

That's actually a good point. I didn't really want to spend my coins because of the current low value but I might just start buying some coins explicit;y to buy just to spread adoption and use etc. Thanks.

I wish I had the option to buy gift cards or stuff directly with BTC here.

Pay withdraw fee to buy stuff doesn't make me exactly happy Sad

Same here. And even if I do buy something online with or without BTC, I still have to worry about customs when goods are being shipped inside my country.

I'm not sure this is true...if people held then there would be less for people to buy, pushing up price.  But I understand your point about increasing its popularity by using it.
