The ultimate gaming Christmas gift guide.
Tis the season to gift the gamer peeps in your life the hottest finds, (whether or not you know what’s hot in gaming.) Even if you don’t, we’ve rounded up the top electronics and pop culture must-haves every gamer needs and wants. Whether you’re getting a gift for your dad, nephew, best mate or gifts for your boyf, we’ve got you covered.
From books and neon lights, to state-of-the-art gaming chairs and headsets, we’ve done the research across the price points, so you can find a gift that fits your budget.
Under $50
From the fun, to the retro to the purely decorative, these prezzies under $50 are top-notch and budget friendly, so you can get your gamer buddy a prezzie that’s happiness-inducing AND kind to your wallet. Whaaaaat?!
Looking for something nostalgic? Bring your boyfriend back to his childhood with a retro hand-held console, already installed with 500 classic games. Or, for the boyfriend who goes for long stints in the gaming chair, a Cooler Master Keyboard will be a new, much-loved feature of his to his set up.
Wondering what to get your somewhat dorky dad? That loveable nerd will love a copy of “Blood, Sweat, And Pixels: The Triumphant, Turbulent Stories Behind How Video Games Are Made,” we promise.
If you’re unsure what to get your gamer mate (or they already have pretty much everything) then a sassy gaming-themed neon light will be a brilliant addition to his gaming den.
Under $100
Looking for a gift that sits under the $100 mark? For the die-hard gaming bestie who’s always in front of the screen, glasses with blue light filter lenses will be a god-send. Goodbye itchy, tired eyes!
If your partner has been hinting about getting some savvy new electronics, then surprise them with an iphone compatible controller or a headset with a detachable microphone so they can double as their on-the-go headphones. Nice.
If you want to start getting involved with bae’s gaming life, (on a trial basis of course,) Kirby's Return to Dream Land game for Nintendo Switch is a great place to start. Up to four players can join and it’s buckets of fun.
Under $500
If you’re looking to splurge on gifts for your dad this holiday season, look no further, we’ve got the goods. So you know how gamers (and parents in general) are known for getting so wrapped up in their world they forget about their hot drinks? Well, no more! A self-heating mug set will be a winning gift.
How about a thoughtful gift for your boyfriend with a touch of personalisation? An engravable controller and headset stand will be the talk around the Christmas tree. A customisable mouse is also a great gift for a friend who’s looking to improve their performance with better support and agility.
Finally, if you’re looking for a gaming gift that delivers pure, unbridled fun, then the Gloomhaven Base Edition is your best bet. Not convinced? Just take a look at the reviews.
