One of the most precious feeling anyone can have is receiving a priceless gift from a dear loved one. For many that feeling is the most cherished emotion especially when the gift received adds value to their lives.

Giving gifts is one of the gestures that show how much we love and cherish the person we choose to gift. 

What is even more interesting is that like the Holy scriptures says "There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving"- thus highlighting the need for everyone to gift others from time to time if we want to experience the happiness that comes from giving.

In this article, I will share with you some reasons why you should consider upgrading your act of giving by gifting NFTs instead of the regular packaged presents, and then I will guide you on how to gift an NFTs to anyone.

Before we delve into why you should gift NFTs and how you can do it, let me share a peripheral view on what NFTs are.

NFTs are unique cryptocurrencies; they are Non Fungible Tokens, meaning that they are unique or have something unique about them that differentiates one from the other, no two NFTs are the same unlike other types of cryptos like Bitcoin where the Bitcoin you have and the one I have is the same. 

NFTs could be a digital copy of a beautiful artistic piece of work, a collection of art works, artifacts, a music album, music art logos, entertainment, gaming, or sports collectibles. It could even be digital photos of nice places, 3D digital images of sport or entertainment idols, or amazing, it could be your own picture.

Buying and selling NFTs can be a good way to make some passive income if you are good at creating or minting your own NFTs or if you are good at finding profitable NFTs that you can trade- buying and selling NFTs to make gains.

Kindly note that this article is NOT a financial advice but a traders guide on NFTs.

Now back to the reasons why you should consider gifting NFTs to your friends and loved ones.

• NFTs are unique gifts

When you gift unique gifts, history and experience confirms that your gifts become more appealing to the receiver of the gift and that is why it makes sense to gift someone an NFT- a unique gift.

For example my cousin is a lover of Basketball; he is a "diehard Chicago Bulls fan" and his favourite sport icon is the famous Micheal Jordan. Imagine if I gifted him his basketball icon collectible- a Micheal Jordan NFT  jersey or his NFT boots.

I am sure he will be over the moon about his NFT gift; he will also be proudly happy due to the uniqueness of the NFT gifted him because he will be the only one to possess that gift because all NFTs are different from each other and he can be sure that no other person will have that particular NFT variance.

• NFTs are Good Gifts with Value

Gifting a friend an NFT is synonymous to giving him a Crypto because NFTs form a unique type of cryptos. The value of a good Crypto grows over time, so also does the value of good NFTs grow over time.

The value of an NFT, I once minted at a limited mint launch grew to over x5 of the minting value within few weeks. So imagine I gave you that NFT as a gift after minting and its value grew within weeks, I am sure you would be so happy to have ever received an NFT from me as a gift.

• NFTs are one of the most trending gifts.

Many people usually have the "challenge of gifts selection" when they choose to gift others and most often times opt for a trendy or an unconventional gift. NFTs perfectly falls into that criterion and is relatively new to many.

Whether you are fully into crypto or just starting your crypto journey, giving or getting an NFT as a gift is cherishable and lovely; and if you are on the gifting end, you definitely will be happy with the reception you get.

• NFTs are Awesome Gifts to Give

NFTs can easily be created from any digital content, a 3D resolution or even a physical art piece. NFTs with its uniqueness and potential for the value to rise overtime, makes it an awesome gift to give because it creates value to the recipient, it can also beautify the recipients catalogue or collection and it will be forever valued whether the value rises or not, because the gesture behind it is priceless.

Take for example, someone once gifted his girlfriend a 3D rose NFT as a gift and that gift endeared her to love him more and guess what, they are married now- owing to the endearing feelings ignited just because he gave her an awesome NFT gift that stirred up emotions in his girlfriend!

• NFTs can be gifted as a ceremonial or seasonal gifts

NFTs can be given as ceremonial or seasonal gifts and there are a whole lot of seasonal NFT gifts to give during seasonal celebrations like New year Eve, Christmas and oh the Easter Bunny eggs NFTs are so dope.
