Winter holidays are coming. It doesn’t matter if you’re not a Christmas or New Year’s person, the warm and cosy atmosphere of this time is inescapable. If you’re like us at Freewallet, chances are you’re pretty psyched about the holidays getting started, sitting with some crypto on hand, thinking hard about presents. Luckily for you, we’ve prepared a guide for crypto Christmas shopping and found stores which accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as payment.

Finding the best gift in a huge online store

When you have no idea about a present, you go to the mall. Because the more options you have, the better. But it is more convenient to do this online from your laptop. If you don’t have a concrete idea for a present, Overstock.com is your best bet. It is an online marketplace with thousands of goods: from furniture and clothes to electronics and pet supplies. You can spend hours choosing the best gifts for your family and friends on Overstock, and they deliver all over the world. Most importantly, Overstock accepts all major coins, like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, Dash and Litecoin.

Letting them choose a gift for themselves

If you don’t know what your nearest and dearest want for Xmas or New Year’s - the easiest thing to do is to let them decide for themselves. Gift cards by Gyft and eGifter are great options. They feature more than 200 brands each and have a wide range of offers for all tastes including clothes and accessories, sports equipment, electronics, health and beauty products, etc. You can send the gift card to the recipient via email with warm wishes and a postcard. These cards can be used in online and offline stores. Please note that these services only accept Bitcoin and only operate on the US territory.

Going around the world

The perfect gift should bring good emotions and when it comes to that, nothing beats traveling. Immersing oneself into a new culture, trying local cuisine, and discovering new places. New experiences and unforgettable impressions make the most memorable gift. CheapAir will get you the cheapest tickets worldwide and accommodation to go with them. It also lets customers know which flights have extra fees and amenities. CheapAir accepts BTC, LTC and DASH for flight and hotel bookings.

Looking for a high-tech present
