Recently, foreign media (Cointelegraph) compiled a list of 13 interesting cryptocurrency creative gifts, whether for miners mining under the Christmas tree or players drinking while collecting airdrops, these gift ideas will definitely add surprise to their holidays!
Blockchain phone
Solana's newly launched second-generation blockchain phone 'Seeker' might be one of the most eye-catching cryptocurrency Christmas gifts in 2024.
This phone has a built-in cryptocurrency wallet, NFT marketplace, and integrated dApps features, with a pre-order price of $500. Although you have to wait until next year to receive the physical phone, Solana Labs has stated that, like its predecessor Saga, holders of Seeker are likely to receive generous airdrop rewards in the future.
If your friend is a believer in Ethereum, you might consider the 'dGen1' mobile device launched by the Freedom Factory team. This device is also priced at $500 and is expected to ship in 2025. Although it doesn't have the communication functions of a regular phone, it can interact directly with Ethereum's dApps.

This candle offers six different fragrances, including sea salt and cinnamon vanilla, making it a perfect 'friendly reminder' gift for friends and family who were initially skeptical about Bitcoin.
