If your loved one is an avid gamer, then you’re in luck – they’re one of the easiest ones to buy gifts for. Here’s a list with a no-limit option for yourself and one thoughtful selection for a loved one, tailored to each type of gamer:
Phone Gamer
For Yourself: Flagship Foldable Phones
Real estate is where battles are won. Combine that with the power and speed of the latest flagship phones and you’ve got a champion. Splurge on a phone like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 or (if you can get ahold of it) Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold for large screen goodness and top-tier performance on the go.
For a Loved One: Gaming Earbuds
Give your gamer friend the gift of savoring every shot, every enemy footstep without bothering the people around them by getting them awesome earbuds. The Razer Hammerhead Pro Hyperspeed and the Sony Inzone earbuds are great options.
PC Gamer
For Yourself: A Cutting-Edge Gaming Rig
If your (formerly) top-of-the-line rig is already five years old (or older), it’s time, friend – time to build a new PC. If you can swing it, get an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, DDR5 RAM (minimum 32GB), and a 4K OLED monitor with HDR for your ultimate gaming setup.
For a Loved One: Customizable Mechanical Keyboard
A good keyboard is something easily overlooked but has a tangible effect in the gaming experience. Gift a premium keyboard like the Keychron Q6 or the Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96 with hot-swappable switches and multifunction controls.
Tabletop Gamer
For Yourself: A Customizable Gaming Table
Tabletop gaming has seen HUGE growth in recent years, with Dungeons & Dragons being immensely popular even with the general public. If you’re ready to invest in a modular gaming set up like the drool-worthy Wyrmwood Prophecy Table, its adjustable surfaces, built-in storage, magnetic rail, and custom accessories will undoubtedly level up gaming nights for you and your party.
For a Loved One: Premium Dice Sets
You could never go wrong with dice. Surprise your friends with new, shiny sets from Dropout’s Dimension 20 or dice inspired by the incomparable Baldur’s 3 game.
