The Top Gifts for Gamers That Every Player Will Love

1. Retro Game Console

The desire to get the latest game systems is persistent. This is natural since you want the most up-to-date technology, features, and, of course, games. On the other hand, newer consoles should not render older systems useless.

Consoles are evolving into all-in-one entertainment devices with each generation. These systems are capable of streaming or playing movies, TV shows, and music, surfing the web, and including a variety of services to supplement your gameplay.

But there was a time when gaming consoles were just used to play games, and this Retro gaming system with 620 classic games lets you and your family relive the joys of youth.

2. 100 Video Games Bucket List Scratch Poster

Are you looking for the ultimate gamer gifts for someone who has every cartridge and DLC under the sun? Well, give them the ultimate challenge with the “100 Video Games Bucket List Scratch Poster.” If you want to add a twist to this gamer gift, challenge them to scratch off the square only if they can beat the game.

3. Retro Handheld Game Console Phone Case

If you’re buying for a millennial gamer, chances are they’ve owned a Game Boy (and if they were super cool, a Game Boy Color) at some point in their lives.

This nostalgic Game Boy-inspired casing is functional, with buttons and a screen for playing video games on it.

4. Couch Gaming Lapboard

Looking up gift ideas for gamers that play exclusively on a PC? This gaming lapboard is ideal for PC gamers who like to play while curled up on the sofa rather than crouched over a desk. With the K63 wireless mechanical gaming keyboard (available separately) and a full-sized mouse pad, you can bring a real desktop gaming experience to your living room. It’s lightweight and portable for quick and easy transfer between rooms.

PC games aren’t restricted to a typical workstation since gaming in the living room is increasingly viable, whether utilizing a PC linked to your television or game-streaming services like Steam Link and Google Stadia. A lapboard, sometimes known as a lap desk, is a portable desk designed to accommodate a keyboard and mouse. As a result, you may rest on the sofa using a keyboard and mouse.

There are several advantages to using a lap desk. You can easily game on large screen TVs, and projectors for bigger visuals than most monitors since lapboards allow you to sit further away from the screen.

A lapboard also enables the use of a keyboard and mouse with game consoles. For a PC-like experience with consoles, many PlayStation 5(PS5) and Xbox Series X titles have keyboard and mouse compatibility.

5. Gaming Headset Stand

One of the very few headset stands that can do more than just raise your headphones is the COZOO. This option also serves as a power hub, with five USB ports and an iWatch Charging Dock.

Its USB ports each charge at 2.4 amps, allowing you to charge your smartphone, headphones, and wristwatch at full speed in less time than you could with the chargers that came with them.

6. GSP 602 Gaming Headset

What gamer gift ideas do you need to go with that COZOO headset stand? If you said the GSP 602 Gaming Headset, then you’re right! 

The EPOS Sennheiser GSP 602 gaming headset appears scary at first. However, after just a few minutes, you’ll notice that it’s not that bad — in fact, there’s not much to it. It has a large, hefty plastic frame, an oddly angled hinge system, and a boom microphone.

The 3.5mm connector on this wired gaming headset connects to your PC or console of choice. It’s mainly composed of plastic, but it still feels solid — there’s a weight to it that you don’t typically see in headsets without a lot of metal. Adjustable tension sliders and a thick mesh-covered cushion are included in the headband. The headphones have thick leatherette-covered cushions with a mesh covering on the interior of the ear cup to reduce heat accumulation.

The EPOS GSP 602 is quite comfy, and getting it that way doesn’t require any effort. The headband is simple to adjust, and the hinges allow for a wide range of motion, so it works for a variety of head shapes. It clamps on firmly and readily establishes a good seal; however, gamers wearing glasses may struggle with the leatherette ear pads — EPOS makes new pads for the GSP 601 that will work on this model as well.

This is, without a doubt, the best gaming headset available, something that every audiophile or competitive player will tell you.

7. The Master Sword

Are you looking for the perfect gifts for a gamer who’s put more than a thousand hours in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

Are there moblins in your neighborhood? Is Calamity Ganon a regular visitor to your house, bringing you and Princess Zelda trouble? Are you looking for a method to supplement your income by smashing pots and collecting rupees? Well, let them show off the fact that they earned 13 hearts (unless they used the saved game exploit!) to pull out the master sword with their own replica.

They can swing it at evil Octoroks or at grass to expose the rupees hidden within. (Please note that this sword is only a toy and does not cut grass or lynels, although it does look awesome when swung in the air.)

8. The Legend of Zelda Messenger Bag

If the gamer in your life isn’t comfortable running around with a replica Master Sword, then maybe the best gaming gifts would be more akin to a stylized messenger bag. This canvas and faux leather bag is perfect for carrying tablets (or a sheikah slate), A4 size documents, books, drinking bottles, and an umbrella! We think you can even stash a few Korok seeds in there as well.

9. Nintendo Switch Lite

The Switch Lite is a fantastic alternative if the gamer in your life already owns other consoles and just needs something to travel with between places. It’s also significantly cheaper than the standard Switch (not to mention the new OLED version). 

The new Nintendo Switch OLED is tough to come by, but the Switch Lite’s lightweight design and 5.5-inch display make it a good console to give your gamer friend. The Lite is available in a variety of vibrant hues, including yellow, turquoise, and gray.

Only games that support handheld mode are compatible with the Switch Lite. That model is great for folks who wish to be able to play on their TV at home or on the move in portable mode! A bigger version is also available through Nintendo, and it’s simple to locate in stock.

10. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Does your loved one already own a Switch, and now you have to look for video game gifts? Well, give them the gift of adventure! Early on in “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,” Hyrule is a cruel land. There are creatures everywhere, you’re running out of health, and your weapons are constantly breaking. You can even die from drowning or being in a location that is too cold.

You’ll discover which opponents are the most powerful and how to fight them from these early encounters. You’ll learn how to use the weapons you have at your disposal most effectively in any situation. You’ll also uncover how to use food and armor to boost your scant health. And, most importantly, you’ll learn how to stay alive in terrible weather.

11. PlayStation VR

If your gamer friend already owns a PS4 or PS5 but doesn’t already own a VR headset, the PSVR is unquestionably worthwhile. There are several excellent (and PlayStation exclusive) games to keep you occupied for dozens of hours. The PSVR is the perfect place to start if you want to get into virtual reality.

12. Paladone Piranha Plant

This Piranha Plant lamp is one of the ideal unique gifts for gamers or any Super Mario Bros. franchise lover. It is possible, measures around 13 inches tall, and is powered by a USB connection. The teeth also provide a pretty amazing shadow effect if you keep the lamp in the dark room. Even if your friend doesn’t remember where all of the secret portals are, we’re still enamored with it and believe it’s still one of the best gifts for gamers  that appreciates an overall plumber.

13. Razer Kishi Android Controller 

In today’s world, all smartphones are essentially game consoles. If the gamer on your list uses the Android operating system, ensure they have the best Android gaming accessories in their collection.

The controller is designed for lengthy gaming sessions and can be stretched and fastened on most Android phones, offering a solid grasp that won’t come free during gameplay.

With a familiar console controller experience that gives tactile feedback, an assortment of face and bumper buttons, as well as a D-pad for supplementary inputs, their gamer friend can fine-tune your aim and execution.

This mobile controller can deliver rapid button response for smooth, flawless control since it connects directly to the device’s charging connection.

With the reality of playing big-budget titles on any screen, having the controller tethered to the smartphone creates a form factor that is both practical and portable enough to play anywhere.

14. Sony Playstation 5 Console

Sony’s newest console, the PS5, has supplanted the PS4 Pro as the company’s most powerful gaming machine. It has a faster processor, GPU, and inbuilt NVMe SSD. It also has Sony’s new DualSense controller, which includes additional features like haptic feedback and adjustable triggers to help you immerse yourself in the game. Overall, the PS5 is a more capable platform.

The PS5 features an AMD Zen 2-based CPU and a proprietary RDNA 2 GPU with over 10.28 TFLOPs of computational power, which is amazing for a console. That means most games will run at 4K/60fps, with certain games able to run at 4K/120fps, and 8K resolution will be supported in the future.

Ray tracing, a visually expensive method, is also supported by the PS5. Ray tracing is a new way of portraying light and shadows that can be found in some of the most beautiful PC games, such as Call of Duty: Warzone, Metro Exodus, and Battlefield V.

15. Microsoft Xbox Series S Console

Are you looking to get the Xbox One gamer in your life an upgrade but don’t want to break the bank?

The Xbox Series S is an excellent alternative for Xbox One customers wishing to upgrade without spending a fortune.

The Xbox Series S is an excellent entry point into next-gen gaming for gamers who have no reservations about buying games digitally or subscribing to Xbox Game Pass. This is a wonderful alternative if you don’t want to spend the money on a full-fledged next-gen console.

The Xbox Series S is a next-generation system that takes a very different approach from the Xbox Series X’s flagship model. It’s intended to provide the same generational jump as Microsoft’s more capable technology, including high frame rates, ray tracing, and lightning-fast load times, but at a far cheaper cost.

16. EPOS GTW 270 Hybrid Gaming Earbuds

Consider giving a gamer a set of these wireless gaming earphones as a present to assist them in improving their overall gaming experience. They’re really comfy and immersive, letting players hear if their enemies are sneaking up behind them.

The unique, closed-back design of the in-ear earbuds generates an excellent acoustic seal and optimal sound. With the tiny, minimalist GTW 270 Hybrid, your friend can block out noise and distractions while they are immersed in a gaming world with superior audio.

Deep, strong bass, natural mids, and dazzling highs are delivered via noise-isolating custom-designed earphones. Expansive audio is provided by exceptional auditory clarity, allowing you to appreciate the acoustic realism of your game. While traveling, escape to different realms.

The left earbud has a single button that enables tactile and intuitive control, instantly switching between play, stop, next track, and phone functions. With a single tap, answer a call and hang up when the call is finished.

They are far more lightweight than a gaming headset and will not make your head heated. Thankfully, they still allow you to hear even the most minute details in games.

17. Switch Accessories Bundle

The Nintendo enthusiast in your life will love you if you give them this gamer gift set. It comes packed with:

• A Carrying Case
• 2 Tempered Glass Screen Protector
• 2 Switch Racing Wheel
• 2 Joy-Con Grip
• 1 Joy-Con Charging Dock (4-in-1) 
• 1 Compact Playstand
• 1 Game Card Holder
• 1 TPU Cover Case
• 8 Joystick Caps
• 4 Joy-Con Silicone Case

The only downside is that it doesn’t come with a Power Glove, but that may be a positive to some.

18. BirdRock Gaming Chair

Unlike other gaming seats, which look terrible when compared to the rest of your décor, this BirdRock doesn’t. It’s more attractive than other solutions, plus it’s comfy and supportive for gaming on the floor.

19. Razer Blade 15 Gaming Laptop

Consider giving them the Razer Blade 15 if you’re the kind to spend big on presents. It’s one of the most attractive gaming laptops, and it’s still pretty powerful. It has a six-core Intel i7 processor, Nvidia’s RTX 2070 graphics processor, a massive 16GB of RAM, and a quick 512GB SSD. We believe the Razer Blade 15 is the greatest gaming laptop on the market right now, regardless of configuration, although you will pay a premium for the now-classic design.

What does all of this mean? Incredible visuals, lightning-fast speed, and a brilliant, wonderfully immersive 15.6-inch 1080p panel that seamlessly runs games.

20. D100 D&D Solid Metal Polyhedral Dice

Who says “gamer” exclusively refers to those who enjoy playing video games? Consider giving this large 100-sided die to a pal who enjoys TTRPGs (tabletop roleplaying games) like Dungeons & Dragons, Rifts, Savage Worlds, Shadowrun, Fate, Vampire the Masquerade, Werewolf the Apocalypse, or Pathfinder. It comes in a variety of beautiful hues and is quite sturdy.

21. Razer DeathAdder Gaming Mouse

Ensure the Razer DeathAdder mouse is on your list of gifts for gamers if you have friends or family that are passionate about eSports and PC gaming or really just want to be able to pull off that 360-no-scope headshot.

The mouse has an ergonomic design with programmable buttons and illumination. It also has one of the quickest and most sensitive optical sensors in the industry. It’s lightweight and precise, and it performs admirably in both rapid and slow-paced games.
