Best non-NFT crypto gifts for the blockchain enthusiast in your life
One of the most stressful parts of the holiday season is finding the right gift. When buying a gift for an NFT enthusiast, there are many options you can choose from that do not require purchasing an NFT. The options have multiple entry points and we will cover as many as we can for you.
1. Ledger Cold Wallet
Number one on most people’s lists would be a way to protect their digital collectibles. An excellent gift for anyone interested in a secure way to store their digital assets would be a ledger. There are several options. But the latest and greatest would be Ledger Stax.
Ledger Stax was designed for daily use of crypto and NFTs. You can easily unsign your transactions on the curved E Ink touchscreen. It also allows you to customize the device by naming it, as well as using an NFT to customize the lock screen.

2. Backing up seeds for cold storage
Along with a way to secure the assets would be a way to protect the keys to these assets. One that comes to mind would be an Indestructible Steel Crypto Cold Storage Seed Backup.
There are several on the market and these steel backups make a great gift for an NFT enthusiast. They provide a secure, offline storage solution for seed sets. There are a number of variants available from different retailers. However, you can get a Billfodl steel case from Ledger.

3. Digital art frames/physical displays of a digital collectible
When assets are safe, many NFT enthusiasts love to show off their collections. A cool way to display them is the Netgear Meural Canvas II. Meural is a digital art frame that allows one’s favorite artwork or digital collectibles to be displayed in high resolution. It has a streamlined, modern design and includes a variety of features, such as automatic rotation and the ability to display art from popular museums and galleries (subscription required). You can find them in Netgear’s store.

A company specializing in physical displays of digital collectibles would have Infinite Objects. They are a company that creates unique limited edition digital artwork stored and displayed on physical objects. These unique pieces make a truly unique gift. They offer limited edition pieces as well as the option to create your own. Check them out at Infiniteobjects.com
4. Poster or lithograph
Another display route would be a more traditional version, such as a poster or lithograph. There are many options available to do so. What I suggest is to head over to Etsy and have one of their favorite NFTs turned into a downloadable screen before heading to the following locations to get it printed.
When you do something else, for example, order a smooth metal print. High quality metal prints are available from several retailers and are a perfect way to display a static NFT. The colors often appear when printed on durable metallic surfaces. Mpix.com and Metalprints.com are the ones I would recommend for metal prints. You can also have them printed as traditional posters. If you have a Staples or Office Max nearby, that’s also an option. However, Posterburner.com and Uprinting.com are fantastic options.

5. “Can the developers do something?” Shirt
VOGU’s “Can the Developers Do Something?” shirt is a nod to the popular phrase used in web3/NFT Twitter. It can be purchased at the Kouwei Shop. It’s a universal feeling that any collector of digital assets can appreciate.

6. Veefriends Plushie
These cute and cuddly plush pants make an excellent gift for anyone looking for a little coziness in their life. The brainchild of Gary Vaynerchuk, Veefriends plushies come in a variety of cute animal designs and are made from soft, high-quality materials. You can find them at Macys.com

7. Bored Bagels
Bored Apes has a multitude of commodity contracts. While many are still in development, a recent release has been Bored Bagels. You can order branded bagels and cream cheese from their website boredbagels.com.
8. Hodl noodles
If you just want a funny gag gift, the best recommendation would be to grab a box of Hodl noodles. Doge and crypto-wrapped ramen noodles are always a fan favorite. You can find them by visiting Simply Food.
9. Surface Pro Tablet
Surface Pro is a versatile tablet that can be used as a laptop or a standalone tablet. It offers a range of features and accessories, making it a great gift for anyone who needs a new computer or socket to draw/design on. It’s a suitable option for someone who isn’t already part of the Apple ecosystem. You can find the latest version on Microsoft.com

Another collection that was delivered on merchandise this season would be Doodles. Their rainbow faces adorn everything from golf shirts to hats to key rings. An iconic brand in digital collectibles, Doodle merchandise makes a great gift for your NFT enthusiast. You can find their items at shop.doodles.app
There is an endless parade of choices when you want to buy a gift for someone. Especially those who have decided to dive into the world of digital collectibles. An NFT enthusiast’s world is often filled with the colors of Doodles, the camaraderie of Apes and the friendship of Veefriends. In the end, whatever you choose to choose as a gift, it’s really the thought that counts.
