“The more purchases I made, the easier it got. I bought socks made out of Alpaca wool for my dad from a farm in Massachusetts (.0206 BTC). For my stepmom, I bought a bottle of Pinot Grigio (.0402 BTC) from City Wine Cellar, a Staten Island wine store that accepts bitcoin for online purchases. I logged back onto BitDazzle and got my little sisters a machine that projects stars onto the walls and ceiling (.09537 BTC). For my cat (what, you don’t buy Christmas presents for your pets?) I commissioned a portrait (.0294 BTC) from a Vancouver artist named Cliff Blank.”
