Hello Hive Fam!

Welcome back to "12 Days of Crypto Christmas" - day six! It can be hard to come up with gift ideas for the crypto lover in your life, and so for the next twelve days I'll be highlighting a different item that you can actually wrap and put under the tree. 🎄

So far we’ve looked at a few good book recommendations, the open dime, crypto stocks… steel backups … a bitcoin mug... But today I'm covering one of my latest obsessions - the Shieldfolio Stonebook and Ghost Pen!

I’m trying to kind of float in and out of different price points here in this series - so some that are a bit smaller and more of the stocking stuffer variety, and other’s that are pretty legit gift item and so today is just a fun little add-on that the crypto lover in your life will totally appreciate.

I talk a lot here on my channel about the importance of creating backups of your private keys. The reason that you want to make offline backups, is that if you only have your private keys or seed phrases saved on a password manager on your computer and something happens, such as getting locked out of the account, or there is some glitch with the software and they get deleted, or maybe you even get hacked… you want to have a physical backup so that you can still access your accounts.

A few days ago we talked about stainless steel backups - but before people are ready to go to that length… they generally just write them down on a piece of paper - which presents certain potential issues. Like you could literally spill water on it and be SOL.

So that’s where the Shieldfolio comes in. It is both tear-resistant and waterproof, and the size makes it super portable if you need to take it with you - but the size also makes it easy to hide which is great. Oh and a random thing you probably never thought of but is a nice perk is that pages repel insects and they never turn yellow.

I also really like the organization of it all too so that things aren’t just haphazardly written down everywhere.

My favorite part of this whole setup is the Ghost Pen. Basically you can write things down and it will be invisible to the naked eye… until you shine the UV light on it. You can even get super sneaky and write a WRONG private key in regular ink and then write the correct one on top of it with the ghost pen. So the ink itself is super durable and waterproof as well … so basically it’s not going anywhere.

It’s a really nice price point for a gift option as well. The Stonebook is currently on sale for $45 and the ghost pen is only 10 bucks. Just be sure to order soon to make sure it can get in in time for Christmas.

That’s a wrap on day six and i’ll be back again tomorrow and then 5 more days after that with more holiday gift ideas.
