Make their gaming experience more comfortable

Anyone that’s ever found themselves immersed in a game will tell you how easy it is to lose track of time. Minutes turn into hours at the blink of an eye, and even the more experienced gamer can begin to feel the aches and pains of sitting still for so long. Make their gaming experience more comfortable buy choosing gifts such as:

• Gaming chair with built in surround sound

• Cosy slippers and dressing gown - comfort is essential when gaming!

• A mini fridge to keep refreshments to avoid timely trips to the kitchen

Introduce some nostalgia

There’s nothing better than switching on a game from your past that you’ve enjoyed and feeling that wave of nostalgia as you race through levels and complete missions. A great gift this year would be the latest Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1&2 remastered for those that loved the original game all those years ago. If you’re buying a gift for someone in the 25+ bracket, you may look at GBC Roms to really take them on a nostalgia ride.

Kit them out with their favourite merchandise

If you’re not sure what kind of game to buy or whether or not they already own a particular game, you could turn to merchandise instead. Many games have an array of merchandise that you can buy straight from the website such as mugs, tshirts, posters, caps and even car accessories! All you have to do is discreetly ask your loved one what their favourite games are.

Pre purchase their next expansion

As mentioned earlier, many gamers are pretty well known for staying up to date with the latest game releases or expansions. While you may not be able to beat them to it and buy it as a gift in time for Christmas, you could still pay for the new release or expansion for them! Many gaming outlets sell gift cards, or you could simply give your loved one some money for Christmas with a note. Alternatively, you could find other ways to prepay for their games. World of Warcraft, for example, allows users to pre purchase their next expansion after the press release, giving players months to save for the expansion.

Buying gifts for those who love gaming doesn’t have to be difficult, and with these ideas and some discreet investigative work, you’ll find the perfect gift for sure.
