Happy Black Friday!

If you’re shopping for loved ones in Web3 or looking to get friends and family involved, here’s your Degen Gift Guide to explore a diverse range of options, from NFTs to IRL Merch; there’s a little something for everyone, including the kids.

Please note that this guide is not financial advice but a fun way to introduce loved ones to the world of Web3 or to show some love to your Web3 Buddies (heeeeey!… thedigitaltomato.eth).

Always remember to do your research and stay safe when clicking links (yes, as I give you a full page of links to click, but I did research all of these from the projects themselves, so don’t worry, but still, take precautions!).

Full disclosure, I do own some of these NFTs, although not all of them at the time of writing this guide. I've taken the time to thoroughly research and discover the NFTs that are resonating across Web3. My goal is to provide an unbiased look at some fantastic communities to get involved in.

I hope this guide serves as a helpful starting point for your holiday giving!
