The Christmas month is starting and at NFTexpress we bring you some options to be the innovator of the family and give useful non fungible tokens to your family or friends. We will look at some inexpensive and fun options for buying NFTs as Christmas gifts.
While, we know that digital things are not for everyone and we have family or friends who are not into NFTs, cryptocurrencies, blockchain and this whole ecosystem. We may get to know people in their lives who are curious, but have yet to fully experience how this whole innovative and fun industry works.
In this opportunity, from NFTexpress we will see some options to find gifts in the form of non-fungible tokens and give the possibility to that person you know and you know that is interested in this industry, to give him a NFT for this Christmas that is coming.
We will review different industries and utilities of NFTs, but above all, with very low economic values (up to a value of 0.01 ETH or its equivalent of $12 USD each).
ENS Domains
ENS domains, or Ethereum Naming Services, are the most popular naming system on the blockchain led by Vitalik Buterin. We’ve done a article article about what ENS are, but let’s review what they are all about.
This service is decentralized, open and allows anyone to register human-readable names, such as nftexpress.eth, and use it for public Ethereum addresses that are usually long, full of numbers and letters. Consequently, with a ENS you will be able to see simpler addresses and they will also be easier to use.
Giving away an ENS domain is a good way to help your recipient stop copying and pasting their long alphanumeric Ethereum address once and for all. What’s more, you could gift an ENS with a funny name as a joke to your friend or family (some nickname or nickname your acquaintance has).
In order to create an Ethereum domain name, you have to go to the official ENS websitewebsite, search for a domain name with more than 5 letters and that is available. Then, you will only have to follow the registration instructions.
Once the desired name has been coined, you can select it and transfer it to the appropriate address via the “Registrant and Controller” options in the “My ENS Account” panel.
Profile Photos (PFP)
Currently, collections of profile pictures, also known as PFP, can be funny characters or remind you of a familiar person. For this reason, the idea of an NFT gift from a PFP project is a very good option.
Finding a nice NFT PFP that tries to associate with the spirit of one of your friends or family is a form of gift that will certainly please that person if he or she wants to experiment with this industry that is increasingly adopted by individuals, but also, by companies.
While aesthetics is highly subjective, there are no right or wrong answers in this option, which is why we can simplify things by going directly to an NFT marketplace and sort the collections by Floor Price. Subsequently, investigate the collections that have floors from 0.01 ETH, since, we are in search of economic NFTs that provide the opportunity to give away to those people that we want and we know are interested in this ecosystem.
Likewise, I share some examples of PFP collections that are at that value and at the time of writing this article are the ones that are holding on the most to the economy we are talking about:
OKPC
The OKPC are a kind of creative art toys that are stored as non-fungible tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. They can be thought of as those toys we had as kids called Etch-a-Sketch or in Spanish also known as Pizarra Mágica.
This project works in a simple and at the same time fun way, since, you can buy an OKPC, draw any kind of image you want on it through the “PAINT” application and function of the official website and then give it as a gift to the person of your choice as a NFT.
There is also the possibility of simply giving a blank OKPC and telling your family member or friend to draw whatever they want on the non-fungible token. This is certainly a fun and innovative way to give a gift!
NFT Music
Music as a digital collectible is a good option as a gift this Christmas.
One of the best known platforms in the NFT music industry and one that has been on a steady rise lately is Soundas, they have recently launched their own native marketplace on the platform.
You simply have to connect your wallet, go to the marketplace and filter for the lowest prices. At the time of making this article there are many songs with base price we put 0.01 ETH and lower too!
Consequently, if you have a friend or family member who is a music lover, a non-fungible music token will certainly be an interesting gift for him or her.
DAO Nouns
In case your relative or friend is more introduced to the NFTs ecosystem, you can give him/her a non-fungible token of DAO Nouns and let them experience a new way of owning such an asset, as they will be able to gain access to actively vote within the project’s DAO.
Nouns DAO is one of the most interesting NFT and DAO projects in the crypto space.
Today, Bud Lightone of the most important beer companies in the world, has acquired the Noun 179 The company is one of the projects that actively participates in the voting of different proposals for Noun DAO at the beginning of 2022.
In addition, there is the possibility of getting an NFT from Bud Light because the beer company has launched its collection of non-fungible tokens called N3XT NFT. Consequently, owners of these digital assets will have the opportunity to indirectly vote on Noun DAO through instant votes.
NFT Scribe
NFT Scribe was created by Conlan RiosConlan Rios, and it is a project that, through smart contracts, allows owners of ERC 721s to add messages to other NFTs directly on the blockchain.
If we are talking about gifts, this service can be used for the purpose of writing dedications on the NFT gift. Subsequently, the recipient can use NFT Scribe to read the message and even add their own.
It currently supports Ethereum and Polygon networks.
