Trying to find a gift for the gamer who already has everything can be tricky. How can you be certain that they’ll like whatever you give them? Fear not, we are here to help you find something that will stand out from anything else that the gamer in your life has ever gotten before. 

A Comfortable Gaming Blanket

Nothing is better than feeling cosy and comfortable while doing your favourite hobby, so why not gift the gamer who has everything with this snuggly game controller fleece throw? 

Navy blue with little white controllers printed on it, this blanket is a sweet little homage to the consoles that your beloved gamer loves so much. Measuring just 150 centimetres by 130 centimetres, this soft little blanket is perfect for one. It’s also easy to clean as it’s machine washable.

A Quirky Coffee Cup

 Coffee is a life giving liquid for most of us, and gamers are no different. They also need their caffeine boost, especially after staying up late into the early hours of the morning on their virtual adventures. Brighten their day with a coffee cup that was created specifically for gamers. Find the perfect mug for the gamer you love from a wide selection of designs that include Super Mario and console controller art. Being able to drink their morning coffee out of a gaming-themed mug will undoubtedly make them very happy.

The Perfect Gaming-Themed Tie

When gamers aren’t battling it out on the virtual landscape, many of them have office jobs and need to wear a shirt and tie daily. If you know a gamer like this, you might want to add a little bit of personality to their work attire with a gaming-themed tie. These make for a perfect subtle hint about what they are like outside of working hours, while at the same time, do well to look professional. It’s the perfect gift for the gamer who already has everything else!

A Steam Gift Card

The one thing gamers can never have too many of is…games. Even a gamer who has everything will appreciate a Steam Digital Gift Card. All you need to dois login to Steam, select a friend and gift amount, and they’ll receive a digital gift.

Their gift card can be spent on games,hardware, software or any other item for sale on Steam. 

A Titanic Adventure

Very few people in the world have actually been able to complete a feat as massive as this one, so this is one of the top picks in our list of perfect gifts for gamers. Well over a century has passed since 15 April, 1912 but the fascination surrounding Titanic and her legacy remains strong.

OceanGate Expeditions has enlisted the expertise of some of the world’s most daring deep-sea divers in order to host a manned submersible exploration of the most famous shipwreck in the world. If you have the means, why not get your beloved out of their gaming chair and give them a ticket to become a Mission Specialist over the course of 11 days? During this time, they will have the chance to spend up to three hours exploring the wreck of the famous ship taken down by one of the Atlantic Ocean’s cruellest icebergs. 

An Exciting Playdate

The new Playdate makes for another one of the perfect gifts for gamers, based purely on the fact that it was simply created for fun. This handheld console is like a modern take on its traditional counterparts, packed full of exciting features such as a fast processor, Bluetooth, WiFi and a loudspeaker. The device’s screen is also one of its major selling points – it is black and white, but not backlit like the handheld consoles that came before it. 

This colourful creation may have plenty of features, but it is compact and can fit right in your pocket. Another special feature of the Playdate’s is its crank. The crank is actually an analogue controller that peeks out of the side, allowing players to dial in the action very precisely.

An Eggcellent Decorative Choice

Yoshi is one of the gaming world’s most easily recognisable characters. Now, gamers can reap the benefits of adding a Yoshi egg to their gaming cave. Not only will this glowing egg provide a source of light, it also looks adorable and will make for an excellent decorative piece.

Another entry on our list of perfect gifts for gamers is a trip around the world. No gaming screen could possibly measure up to the beauty of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

Gifts For Xbox Gamers

Take a look at these gamer gifts that are sure to brighten the day of the Xbox fanatic in your life. 

The Perfect Gaming Chair

Any avid gamer needs to have the perfect chair. Gamers spend hours in front of their screens, so having the right chair is key to ensuring that their posture is not negatively affected and that they have enough support for their back, neck, and shoulders. This is especially true because of how tense certain games can get.

The Boulies Ninja Pro gaming chair will make for the perfect gift for the gamer in your life. This chair is one of the best on the market and is available in a range of colours to suit your gamer’s aesthetic. Choose from green, red, white, or black and help them to elevate their gaming experience. The chair also puts gamers in full control, as it features a multi-tilt mechanism. This allows them to lock or unlock the positioning of the chair and affords them the choice of sitting at any angle they prefer.

A Hi-Res Gaming Headset

 A headset is an integral part of the gaming experience, as it allows players to really drown out all the other noises around them and just focus on the game. So, if you’re looking for the perfect gift for a gamer, why not consider giving them this ROG Delta Core headset? It is compatible with almost all consoles, including the latest Xbox One.

This headset is fully equipped with exclusive ASUS essence drivers, as well as airtight chambers and audio signal diversion technology. The result is high-resolution sound with a deep, punchy bass that allows gamers to fully immerse themselves in their games. In addition to this, the headset boasts ergonomic D-shaped ear cups and hybrid ear cushions for added comfort.

A Wireless Gaming Mouse

A gaming mouse is not typically compatible with consoles, but they can be used to navigate around on Xbox One. The Aerox 3 Wireless mouse is perfect for gaming and would make an excellent gift to the gamer in your life. Weighing in at just 66 grams, this lightweight mouse is effortlessly fast.

This mouse has also been optimised specifically for gaming, so carries features such as the TrueMove Air optical gaming sensor. Additionally, it is the very first gaming mouse to ever receive an IP54 rating, which means that it has a strong level of protection from water, dust, oil, dirt, fur and more. All of this, added to the fact that the mouse boasts dual connectivity via multi-purpose Bluetooth 5.0 and gaming-grade 2.4 GHz, makes this the ideal gift for Xbox gamers.

A Personalised Xbox Controller

Giving an Xbox player a personalised controller is a wonderful way to show them how much you appreciate them and support them in the hobby they love. Choose the colour of the buttons, as well as the pattern of the controller and give them a gift that really reflects their personality. Perhaps they love bright colours or bold patterns – whatever their personal preferences may be, incorporate them into a custom design that they will treasure forever.

While you may be able to select and customise the controller, you can rest assured knowing that although it has been adapted to suit their taste, the controllers are official Xbox products. This means that they have been crafted according to global standards and carry an extended warranty of up to 12 months.

Light Up Their Life

Get your gamer a light that proudly displays their love for their Xbox. Not only is this product officially licensed merchandise, it will also illuminate the living space with its two different modes – standard or gentle. 

The product is also conveniently powered by both USB and batteries, so your gamer can choose whatever is most convenient for them. Perhaps this light’s best feature of all is the fact that it has been crafted from eco-friendly plastic that breaks down, which means that it won’t end up in a landfill. 

Help Protect Their Eyes

Ask any gamer and they will tell you that one of the biggest downsides of the hobby is the effect that blue light can have on the eyes. Blue light is known to also have stimulating effects on the brain, which can make it difficult to fall asleep if you’re exposed to it before bed. 

Apart from the potential for insomnia, blue light can also cause itchy, irritated eyes, which tends to steal away from the magic of playing in the first place. Blue Light Protection glasses can help prevent this. They look great and make for an easy solution to problems associated with prolonged exposure to blue light.

Energy Drinks To Keep Them Going

If you have an enthusiastic gamer in your life, then perhaps consider getting them some Respawn energy drink. It comes powdered, and you simply need to mix it with water. Respawn is also available in a delicious range of flavours, such as tropical pineapple, blue raspberry, green apple, and pomegranate raspberry. These energy drinks started out as an April Fools’ joke, but they soon garnered plenty of attention – so much so that they were turned into a reality. 

Respawn has been designed for gamers by gamers to provide an extra boost to stay sharp and focussed when playing. The powder is sugar-free and has only 20 calories per serving, so gamers will have everything that they need to be able to function, but without any of the nasty side effects of a sugar crash.

An Intuitive Gaming Keyboard

There are few things more frustrating for gamers than a clunky keyboard with a slow response time. Having a state-of-the-art keyboard is a must for avid computer gamers, and while not all consoles support keyboard and mouse controls, the PlayStation 4 does. 

PlayStation gamers are used to having high quality products that are specifically designed to ensure that their gaming experience is second to none. So why not help them complete their gaming hardware with this ASUS ROG Falchion Cherry MX Red Mechanical Wireless RGB Gaming Keyboard?
