Scratching your head over what to buy your gamer buddies this year for Christmas? We’ve got you covered. Keep reading for our ultimate gamer gift guide below.

Portable games console 

Number one on the list, and maybe the most expensive gift option is a portable console. This is a games console that is small enough that it can be packed up in a bag and moved around with ease. A portable console should also actually be playable on the go, so the recipient can make long train journeys, and flights more fun as well. 

One of the most popular portable game consoles on the market right now is the Nintendo Switch. It comes with a whole host of beloved games from the cosy animal crossing to the crazy fun that is Lugi’s Mansion 2. Indeed, if you are buying for a grown-up gamer rather than a kid, the Switch is a great choice as its games span a wide range of target audiences. 

Pro-grade headphones 

Is there anything worse than not being able to hear every explosion, sword clash, and item pick-up ding? Most gamers don’t think so and that is why they will nearly always be delighted with some pro-grade headphones. 

When buying gaming headphones as a gift remember that they will need to include a mic, so players can talk politely to each other about the strategy they will use in the game. Also, the added benefit of choosing this gift is that you no longer have to hear all the game sound effects as they play. However, there are no headphones that can deal with the shouting at other players from all over the world yet! 

An account for their favourite game

Another great gift option for the gamer in your life is a levelled-up account for their favourite game. For example, you can purchase pre-leveled COD BO6 Accounts online for a relatively small sum of money. The benefit of doing this is that players will get access to all the really fun bits of the game like gold camo weapons and meta guns, without having to grind through the basic levels to get them. It also means players can start playing at a high level right away which is great for those that already know what they are doing in the franchise and don’t want to waste time. 

A subscription to their favourite games 
Many games not only require a game purchase but also a subscription either to a specific service or a more general online service to allow them to be played. For example, Elder Scrolls Online requires you to subscribe before you can play. This means players who love this game will need to pay a subscription fee each month. However, by buying them a gift card for this you can help them spend time playing the game they love without having to find the funds. Many such games also allow players to buy additional equipment, steeds, and currency, so a gift voucher or link for these items will always be well received by a true gamer.
