Crypto Holiday Gift Guide 2025

Now that the holidays are just around the corner, it’s time to pile presents under the tree. Here’s our pick of the best options for the crypto fan in your life.

Ledger Nano Gen5

ledger.com$179

Hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger is going out of its way to portray itself as the Apple of crypto, enlisting iPod designer Tony Fadell to create its new product line, and now Apple Macintosh icon designer Susan Kare to work on the graphics for its latest offering.

As you’d expect, the Nano Gen5 is a sleek-looking, consumer-friendly device, with an E Ink touchscreen interface, Bluetooth and NFC, and secured by a CC EAL6+ Secure Element chip.

Ledger raised some eyebrows after ending support for the original Ledger Nano S earlier this year, but that does mean there’s an opportunity to gift an upgraded model.

Cold Wallet (Blu-ray)

amazon.com$11

After the ominously named cryptocurrency exchange Tulip collapses under suspicious circumstances, a hapless bag holder calls on his friends to kidnap the founder and retrieve his missing money.

This thriller from director Cutter Hoderine is notable for being one of the first films to accurately portray crypto on screen. It’s also partly funded by Web3 film fund Decentralized Pictures via a grant from executive producer Steven Soderbergh – which inevitably led to it being billed as ‘the crypto ‘Ocean’s Eleven’.

However, that is not entirely correct. “Cold Wallet” is not a film about a global heist, but a character piece that pits the hostage takers against the mind games of their billionaire enemy before a shocking act of violence turns the film into a riff on “The Most Dangerous Game.”

A good stocking stuffer – and with its snowy Massachusetts setting, a suitably chilly piece of Christmas Day viewing.

“This is for everyone” by Tim Berners-Lee

macmillan.com$30

In this memoir, the inventor of the World Wide Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, tells the story of its creation – and where it might go.

While Berners-Lee’s account of the Internet’s origins and its early life is fascinating, Web3 fans will be particularly interested in his vision for the future of the Internet. Berners-Lee is a strong supporter of the decentralized web, although he remains skeptical about it blockchain And cryptocurrency.

Instead, he’s pursuing his own project to decentralize the internet, Inrupt, which relies on the open-source privacy platform Solid to create an infrastructure built on private data “pods.”

Expand App Gift Card

foldapp.comup to $500

For Bitcoin die-hards, no gift can ever compare to the gift of sweet, sweet BTC. After all, gifts are transient, while Bitcoin’s digital scarcity is forever. So all the money spent on trinkets and gadgets for under the tree would be better spent on stacking precious sats.

Fold’s BTC gift cards are available in dollar denominations up to $500, which can be redeemed for BTC and sent to any Bitcoin wallet address on the chain. It’s simple and straight forward, although it’s a bit like receiving a book voucher from your grandma for Christmas.

Strategy padded vest

strategy.com$135

Bitcoin treasury company Strategy has a plethora of designer clothing and accessories in its store, from pint glasses to a downright eye-popping tie. But for so-called financial brothers, nothing more than a waistcoat will do.

This is also not the usual brand stat; Made by The North Face, it features WindWall fabric and 150g synthetic Heatseeker insulation to keep you toasty on your Christmas stroll. The orange Strategy logo is also nicely understated.

Coinbase Diamond Hand Balm

Coinbaseshop.com, $30

If your near and dear ones have cracked and cracked skin from clinging to those bags during the recent dip, this balm could be the solution. Made with lavender “gathered at first light” and “hand-pressed” shea butter, this lotion promises to soothe even the most diamond-strung digits. Nice to see Coinbase branching out. What now, grams of cereal?

Trezor Safe7

trezor.io$249

Hardware wallet manufacturer Trezor has just launched its latest model, the Safe 7, laying the groundwork for the future with claims of a “quantum-ready” bootloader and architecture that uses post-quantum cryptography.

The idea is that “when quantum-safe algorithms become necessary, Trezor devices will be ready to adapt,” without users having to switch to a new device, said Tomáš Susanka, the company’s chief technology officer.

The device also includes Trezor’s “fully auditable” TROPIC01 security element, in addition to an NDA-free EAL6+ security element. With a Gorilla Glass color screen, aluminum casing and wireless charging plus Bluetooth connectivity, it’s also focused on user-friendliness.

Please note that due to the US government shutdown, shipping in the US will be delayed, so keep that in mind if ordering for the holidays.

Satoshi Nakamoto Bender cut off flannel

satoshinakamoto.cloud $859

Somewhat bizarrely, Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose switched to wearing a flannel shirt from streetwear brand Satoshi Nakamoto, named after the pseudonymous Bitcoin creator, during the band’s recent world tour.

While that particular piece (the “Other Scenes Shattered Glass Flannel”) is sold out, this cut-off sleeve shirt is currently on sale, and comes in an attractive plaid pattern with green candles so you can manifest those profits.

Led by LA creator George Robertson, the Satoshi Nakamoto brand was apparently “born from a fascination with the digital revolution and its impact on identity, value and culture”.

Bitaxe Gamma Bitcoin Solo Miner

solosatoshi.com$105

While the vast majority of Bitcoin mining is done using pools of shipping containers full of ASICs, there are still some diehards who mine on home rigs like the Bitaxe Gamma.

This solo miner promises to deliver up to 800 MHz/1.63 TH/s out-of-the-box and features built-in Wi-Fi, a browser-based dashboard, and a removable OLED display so you can monitor live hash rate, temperature, and uptime.

Yep, since mining pools dominate the landscape, the Bitaxe is basically a $100 lottery ticket. Anyway: Someone got $266,000 in block rewards with one a week ago.

Cosmic Headless 6-string Silver Flake Guitar by Synyster Gates

synner.com$4,499

Metal band Avenged Sevenfold has made no secret of their desire to bring their fanbase into the blockchain fold through initiatives like an NFT-powered season pass.

Guitarist Synyster Gates has doubled down on the technology, launching a series of limited edition signature kits that are “authenticated on the blockchain”, to widespread bewilderment. The idea is that each signature guitar or amp comes with a “digital certificate of authenticity” that is transferred to the new owner, proving it’s not a fake (a common problem for vintage guitar collectors).

Billed as one of 100 ‘limited batch collectable art pieces’, this ax features a maple neck, mahogany body and ebony fingerboard, with Gates’ signature Schecter pickup in the bridge position, and a Sustainiac pickup in the neck for wild synth-like effects with infinite sustain.

How useful the “digital certificate” is remains to be seen, and will only really come in handy if the guitar is resold – and what happens if the guitar eventually becomes separated from the certificate? Still, you also get membership in Gates’ “The Syndicate” fan club and 45,000 A7X Season Pass points for your money.

Solana viewfinder

solanamobile.com$500

Solana made headlines in 2023 with his Saga smartphone, sparking a frenzy of meme coins that at one point were worth more than the device itself.

A few years later the madness has subsided, with the Solana Seeker a more measured effort. Yes, at half the price of the Saga it’s a less premium offering, but as an attempt at a mainstream crypto phone it does the job.

The Seeker is necessarily a niche product and certainly a product for those who are “actively trading in the Solana trenches,” but for the Solana faithful it is a no-brainer.
