’Tis the season to be jolly, and what higher strategy to rejoice than with this collection of crypto-themed goodies in your nearest and dearest?
Gather around the crackling Yule log and bask misty-eyed within the seasonal goodwill, as family and friends rip the wrapping off their gifts and say things like, “But Daddy, I wanted a Bluey plush,” and “Please, just this once, stop telling us about Bitcoin’s hard supply cap.”
Ledger Stax

Ledger’s latest offering is like no other hardware wallet available on the market, with a sleek design courtesy of iPod creator Tony Fadell that elevates it from functional device to a desirable bit consumer electronics kit in its own right.
The credit-card-sized wallet packs a one-of-a-kind curved E Ink screen to indicate off your NFTs (is anyone still showing off their NFTs?) while inside it features the identical secure element employed by the remainder of Ledger’s line-up, to safeguard your digital assets.
Taschen is understood for its coffee-table books with a price tag to match their heft, with an unlimited array of tomes covering art and culture. The publication of Taschen’s first book on non-fungible tokens earlier this 12 months, then, was something of a coup for the crypto space—elevating NFTs to the lofty company of up to date artists like David LaChappele, H.R. Giger, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, all of whom have their very own Taschen books.
On NFTs is a wide-ranging survey of the NFT space, packing in 10 essays and profiles of 101 artists, alongside lavish illustrations. It doesn’t come low cost, though, with the Collector’s Edition clocking in at $850 and the Hard Code Edition, with a stainless-steel slipcase, an eye-watering $1,750—so that you’d higher have made bank flipping Bored Apes.
Crypto degen culture truly has gone mainstream, with the arrival of HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu merch in Walmart, of all places. The meme coin to finish all meme coins, HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu mashes together popular culture icons and eye-watering graphic design to create what is actually one among the t-shirt designs of all time.
Tracers within the Dark: The Global Hunt for the Crime Lords of Cryptocurrency
Tracers within the Dark, by Andy Greenberg. Image: Penguin Random House
The world of crypto has—fairly or unfairly—often been related to those of illicit finance and arranged crime. According to this book by WIRED author Andy Greenberg, many criminals were drawn to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies by the mistaken belief that they were anonymous—a notion that law enforcement agencies have spent years disproving.
Greenberg chronicles how police all over the world have tracked down criminals including drug dealers and human traffickers, armed with blockchain analytics tools that expose their every transaction.
But, as cryptographer Sarah Meiklejohn points out, those self same tools could just as easily be used for mass surveillance—with blockchain’s public record of transactions functioning as a panopticon. Not exactly cheerful holiday reading, but definitely illuminating.
If you’re after something a bit less blingy than the Ledger Stax, the Trezor Safe 5 is a protected bet (heh). The successor to Trezor’s Model T, the Safe 5 packs in a Secure Element EAL6+ chip, a color touchscreen and support for over 7,000 different cryptocurrencies.
Gone are the times once you needed to fiddle around with two physical buttons to approve transactions, with the touchscreen providing a slick alternative interface.
Your cryptocurrency’s secured with Trezor’s latest latest SLIP-39 20-word wallet backup standard, its NDA-free open-source design, and its microSD card slot, which enables you to store a further randomly generated secret on a microSD card that adds a further layer of security.
One of the few NFT collections to increase its appeal into the mainstream, Pudgy Penguins’ cute animal mascots have made them a natural fit for all manner of merchandise. This particular deluxe set bundles together a 12-inch plush toy, an motion figure, a smaller clip-on plush, an igloo toy, and a certificate that enables you to claim a free NFT (minted on zkSync Era) for the Pudgy World gaming platform. Reduced from $50, it’s a bargain for the NFT lover in your life.
The identity of Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto stays a mystery to this present day—but some people have had a stab at making a likeness of them. This “Beautifully and Artistically Created” resin model is styled after a sculpture in a park in Budapest, Hungary, and comes complete with a reminder that “we’re all Satoshi” (aside from, per a legally binding UK court ruling, Craig Wright). Bathe within the bronze-effect glow of Satoshi’s munificence this holiday season.
CryptoPunks were the original NFT collection—and while the market has slipped a bit from the heady heights of 2021’s bull run, they continue to be a milestone in crypto history, fêted by museums, luxury brands, and auction houses. So it’s entirely appropriate that they’ve been honored with their very own coffee-table book, which catalogs all 10,000 CryptoPunks along with a timeline, essays and contributions from the likes of NFT artist Beeple and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, amongst many others.
