Gift Ideas for Gamers

A gift for a gamer should fit what and how they play: on a console in the living room, at a PC desk or on a handheld on the go. This page gathers 10 ideas for gamers, from controllers and headsets to retro collectibles and desk upgrades. For a console player, a Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller or an 8BitDo controller is an upgrade they will feel in every game, and the Switch 2 with Mario Kart World is a big family present. A PC gamer will use a light wireless mouse, a large mouse mat and a wireless headset every day, while a Stream Deck helps someone who streams or records. For a fan of the classics, the LEGO Game Boy and the original Tamagotchi bring back the nineties. Prices start at €58. If the gamer has a wishdo wishlist, check it first: gaming gear only helps if it fits their console or PC.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most ideas on this page cost between €60 and €114, and a typical one sits around €73. A controller, a headset or a mouse is a useful gift in the middle of that range; a new console is usually a shared present from the whole family.
Think about the desk and the room rather than the games: a large mouse mat, light bars behind the screen, a stream controller or a second controller for a friend. Collectibles such as the LEGO Game Boy are also a safe choice, because they do not depend on which games they already own.
Only if you know their platform and what they already own. Games are tied to a console or a store account, and many gamers buy new releases on day one. Gear that works with what they play, such as a controller or headset, is easier to get right.
Look at their wishdo wishlist if they keep one: gamers usually add the exact model they want, which tells you the platform. You can reserve the item there, so nobody else buys the same controller. If there is no list, ask a friend they play with.
