You can see a video of each of our two new Santas over on our Facebook page.

Cryptocurrency Feature: Beginning in 2021 and continuing with all our future collectibles, we will be embedding an NFC chip into the Santa. When this is scanned with any moderately newer smartphone (towards the bottom rear edge of the Santa), you'll be taken to a page on your mobile device that will show all the details related to your collectible. And you can register your new collectible from that page, too. So your new Santa will include $19.50 worth of Bitcoin, embedded into the resin. It's a fun tradition to start, every year, you scan your Santa to see how much Bitcoin has gone up or down since it was issued. You can read more about this on the "Crypto Embedded" page.

Design Detail Note: This Santa was designed with a good friend in mind. He is an actual cowboy in the great state of South Dakota.

Story:
Brian Claus lives on Elk Ridge Ranch outside Piedmont, SD. Every year, kids from all over South Dakota come to his ranch to ride horses and play in the snow. On Christmas, he hands out presents with the help of his twin elves, Aaron and Ashley.

Included:
Handmade wooden storage box with his name and story on the lid. He also has an engraved base with his serial number, name and year of release. In addition, an NFC chip is embedded into the resin to aid the Collector in registering and tracking the value of the Bitcoin on the NFC chip. This Collectible will have $19.50 worth of Bitcoin on it, calculated at exchange rate on the day your collectible is purchased. Read more about this on our "Crypto Embedded" page.
