Halloween is coming: it's time to look for costumes, decorate the house with skeletons and stock up on candies. This year the holiday is also moving into the virtual world as the Metaverse develops.
Do you remember the news about the guy who gave kids BTC for treat-or-tricking in 2020? Crypto enthusiast Brad Mills from Canada came up with a nice surprise for children dressed up in costumes of monsters, goblins and witches. He hid BTC gift cards worth several hundred dollars in a box of candies in front of his door. Kids were very excited to get such an unusual treat. So if you don’t know what to get your friends on this Halloween, crypto presents might be a good and unexpected decision. Of course, it doesn’t have to be only Bitcoin, you can choose other cool coins. Check out our list here. In this article we’ve got a few interesting ideas from the crypto world for you!
Idea #1 – Crypto gift cards
You got inspired by the story above and now want to do the same this year? Giving cryptocurrency as a present is easier than you may think. Many major brands have already introduced such a service. Coinbase, Binance or Robinhood - choose which company is more attractive to you.
For example, Binance has referral links attached to gift cards, so you can also earn profit yourself. Art lovers will love cards with collectible NFTs. You can choose from different designs and dozens of currencies. It’s easy to give a crypto gift card – via e-mail or through any other messenger, for example using the special code. Moreover, the person who’ll get a present does not even need to have a crypto wallet. The amount of the certificate is defined by your decision and by the type of chosen cryptocurrency. However each brand has its own "minimum" limit, just so you know.
Idea #2 – Mysterious crypto art
Bitcoin, as well as other digital coins, influenced the modern art world. Artworks inspired by crypto are quite popular in certain circles. Therefore, a spooky painting or a poster with something from the Crypto Universe might be a nice gift for Halloween.
You can simply find different shops on the Internet with such stuff, like the CryptoArt website, for example. Usually they accept cryptocurrencies as payment for the items – the easiest way to buy and exchange crypto is to use SimpleSwap service.
Idea #3 – Spooky NFT
Often we hear that the best gift is a handmade one. That’s probably because it takes more effort from you to create it. The plus side of it is that usually this type of present isn’t expensive. Now we have the opportunity to make our own NFTs . We can turn any picture (digital or handwritten), song, photo, text into a unique non-fungible token.
Since we’re talking about Halloween here, this NFT of yours should be spooky. Of course, it is unlikely that such a token will be of value to someone other than you and a person you made it for. However, it is an unusual surprise. In this article we’ve explained how to create an NFT on your own.
Also, if you don’t want to make it yourself, you can always find a suitable NFT on some marketplace (like OpenSea) and buy it. Usually there are many different art collections dedicated to Halloween.
Idea #4 – Virtual land in Metaverses’ graveyards
NFTs are not only digital images like art and collectible assets like items from video games, it can be even a virtual piece of land in some digital worlds. If your friend has a dark sense of humor, you can even give him or her a tombstone NFT on the virtual graveyard. Nothing can be more ‘Halloweeny’ than cemeteries!
In Remember Metaverse, for instance, you can buy unique NFT Memorial Stones and place them in the memorial park. Or if your friend was once a gamer but he or she stopped playing, you can create a grave for friends’ avatar in the gamer graveyard. Then copy a link to the "tomb" and send it as a creative gift for Halloween.
