Best Bitcoin gifts? (besides actual BTC)
779 sats \ 32 comments \ @birdeye21 24 Sep 2023 bitcoin
What bitcoin-related gifts have you given to friends/family before?
Need to pull some ideas together for a close friend of mine, also very into Bitcoin/would appreciate anything related to it.
Non-Bitcoin/Bitcoin-adjacent suggestions are all welcome too.

lol ... I need to get more made.
The company I originally used shrunk their printable area so I can't make the stacker news text obnoxiously large anymore. I'll reach back out again.

Maybe I'll create a merch sub ...
I've been fantasizing about mapping a buy/sell experience into our post/thread format
  • each item for sale is a post
  • comments are one of
    • orders where you can put in shipping/quantity like a comment and they will be private ... and status/tracking can be provided within the thread
    • public questions/answers
    • reviews
  • ranking could either be based on quantity sold or sat revenue or reviews
Absent a merch sub @supertestnet has been giving me eyes about creating a Magic Webstore

Bitcoin Books are a great and useful gift. Soon I am thinking to put all my guides into a mini book as a gift.
Also the https://opendime.com/ are really nice as gift and cute. Gives more the feeling to a nocoiner to have in his hands bitcoin.

okay, how about gifting an umbrel node? super fun toy; Forgot to ask about the budget, but sending him all the parts could be really fun haha, imaging his look be like "what on earth are these for.!?"

Books would be nice too.

I see people mentioning hardware wallets but an even better (but maybe slightly expensive) gift is steel plate + stamp kit to stamp phrases onto like this: https://www.blockplate.com/collections/frontpage
You can't have too many of them and it encourages securely storing more of your wallets if you have more than one for different needs. I would be stoked to have a big pile of these personally.

Got this when my son was born. If you have a special date after 3 Jan 2009 then it can be an awesome gift: https://satscrap.com/listings/c204c0f6-dbd7-4b93-924d-83d17c91b9aa
