I don’t know anything about video games. How do I choose the best gifts for gamer boyfriends?

For spouses or girlfriends, buying gifts for gamers can be quite a challenge. It’s hard to keep track of which games he already has, and when it comes to the hardware or gadgets it all seems too technical.

So how do you choose the best gift for a gamer you love?

In the video below, we’ll give you some useful tips and tricks to get you started, as well as some concrete gift ideas for gamers:

  • The System: First of all, you need to figure out what kind of gamer he is. Does he play his video games on his PC, an Xbox, a PS4, Nintendo, or just on his smartphone? If you’re a parent, girlfriend, or spouse, you can just walk into the living room or gaming room to check. Otherwise, ask his friends for advice.
  • Buying Games: The most obvious gift to buy a gamer is a video game, but it’s also the most difficult one to get right. As a first step, you can check which games he already has to avoid duplicates. Next, you need to figure out which new game he might like. There are countless games out there, so this is easier said than done. If he hasn’t talked about upcoming games he wants to have, check with his friends, they’ll know. Alternatively, you can check out the current bestsellers. Yet again, tastes can differ, so this is not a guarantee of getting it right.
  • Gift Cards: A smarter alternative can be to go for a gift card so he can choose the right game himself. For PC gamers you can buy a Steam Gift Card. But there are also gift cards out there for PS4 Gamers, Xbox Gamers, and Nintendo Gamers.
  • Gadgets: Gamers love receiving cool & useful gadgets as a gift. Great examples include this Headset Holder, Mouse Cable Organizer, or VR Headset. If you’re unsure whether he can use it, go for a USB Charger Hub. He can always use more charging ports for all his gear.
  • Merchandise: Gamers are usually completely immersed in the fantastical world of their favorite game. That is why merchandise gifts relating to that game are highly appreciated. For example, millions of gamers are into the online role-playing game World of Warcraft, and you can find great merchandise on the official Blizzard website.
  • Hardware: Finally, you can also go big and buy a gamer the latest hardware. A PC gamer will go berserk for this top-market Ultrawide Gaming Monitor or a new Gaming Chair. Thanks to lightning-fast technological progress, hardware gets improved at an incredible pace. So if it’s new and shiny, he’ll love it.

What are good Christmas presents or stocking stuffers for gamers?

Great Christmas stocking stuffers for gamers include useful gadgets that will help their game, goofy items and merchandise, or gaming-related books.

  • Useful gadgets: Gamers love small gifts that will help them while they are immersed in their favorite game. Great examples are this pair of Smartphone Controllers, a Desk Cable Organizer, or this Gooseneck Holder for any portable device.
  • Funny Merchandise: Everybody loves a good gag stocking stuffer, and that includes gamers. Check out this funny gamer shirt and this cute little Deadpool Pikachu. Or what about a hand massager to relax those cramped-up hands after hours of gaming?
  • Gamer Books: Books are probably the most popular stocking stuffers of them all. Our personal favorites for gamers include this Guinness World Records: Gamer’s Edition and this fun Nintendo Trivia Almanac.

What are the best gifts for pc gamers?

The best gifts for PC gamers are the latest hardware, useful gadgets, gift cards for video games, or funny merchandise.

What are the best gifts for Xbox gamers?

The best gifts for Xbox gamers are new video games or gift cards, hardware gadgets, or fun merchandise items.

  • New Games: If you’re planning to buy a new game yourself, make sure you know which one to get. If in doubt, check with his friends first. A safer alternative is to gift an Xbox gamer a Gift Card, so he can choose the game himself.
  • Hardware Gadgets: You can also make an Xbox gamer very happy with tech gifts that will facilitate his gaming. Examples are this Xbox One Controller Charger, this Gaming Microphone, this Portable Gaming Station, or this Gamer TV Stand.
  • Funny Merchandise: You can also not go wrong with some funny items that relate to an Xbox gamer’s favorite passion. This set of Gamer Posters. Another classic is, of course, the Funny T-Shirt.

What are the best gifts for PS5 gamers?

The best gifts for PS5 gamers are PS5 accessories, video game gift cards, of PS5-related gag gifts.

Popular and well-appreciated PS5 accessory gifts are this handy PS5 Controller Charger, this Portable Gaming Station that allows him to play his PS5 wherever he goes, and this ridiculously cool Green Camouflage Controller.
  • Video Game Gift Cards: Buying a video game is very difficult as there are so many choices out there. That is why giving a PS5 gamer a gift card is probably a smarter bet. This way, he can get the game he really wants.
  • PS4 Gag Gifts: A real PS5 gamer will love to receive a funny gag gift like this Music Reactive PlayStation Light or this hilarious set of Gamer Posters.

What are the best gifts for Nintendo gamers?

The best gifts for Nintendo gamers are Nintendo e-shop cards, accessories for their Nintendo console, or general Nintendo collectibles.

  • Nintendo Eshop Card: Buying the right video game for a Nintendo gamer is very difficult. That is why we strongly recommend you gift him a Nintendo eShop card instead. With a Nintendo Switch gift card, a gamer can buy the right game himself directly online.
  • Nintendo Accessories: The great advantage of the Nintendo Switch is that you can continue playing your favorite video game while on the move. That is why handy accessories for this portable device are great gift ideas for Nintendo gamers. Our favorites are this Gooseneck Holder, this Nintendo Switch Travel Case, and this handy Nintendo Switch Power Bank. But we also have to mention these super-fun Nintendo Switch tennis rackets.
  • Nintendo Collectibles: Die-Hard Nintendo fans will love collectibles like this Nintendo Trivia Almanac or this Monopoly Nintendo Edition. If he is a specific fan of the very popular “Legend Of Zelda” series, give him this playable Ocarina Of Time replica or this Hyrule Historia Book.
