5 Gifts for Gamers That Any Gamer Will Love!

And just like that, the Holidays are once again upon us. Although it may sometimes not feel like it, Christmas is right around the corner. To avoid the holiday rush, it’s best to do your gift shopping early. In light of that, we’re here to help you get gifts for gamers in your life.

Shopping for a Christmas gift for a gamer isn’t as simple as getting them a new game. Unless of course, they asked for it (saves you the trouble). For those who are confused what to get as a gift, don’t worry! The folks at VRSUS have got you covered. Here are the top 5 gifts for gamers

1. A Wireless Controller

No matter what kind of gamer they are, we guarantee you that a new wireless controller is sure to bring a smile to their face. For most, having a wireless controller is an upgrade to their gaming space!

Wireless controllers are plentiful in the market so you have a wide array of options. You can either go for official and officially licensed options or third party controllers. Official and officially licensed controllers cost a little more but are extremely premium and durable. Hori has a lot of officially licensed options for XBox, PlayStation, and PC. You can check those out here. When it comes to third party controllers, 8bitDo is one of the top brands that offer affordable and reliable controllers. You can check their products here. Controllers are a safe bet when choosing gifts for gamers.

Be sure to double check what kind of system they play on first. If they’re playing on PC, check the controller you’re buying to see if it supports PC.

2. A Charging Dock or A Controller stand

One problem every gamer faces is organization. Specifically, keeping all their controllers somewhere neat and tidy and out of the way. That’s where controller stands and charging docs come into play. These nifty little products sit on one side of their setup and act as a neat solution to having controllers everywhere.

You can get them as basic stands, or ones that act as charging docs to charge their wireless controllers when not in use. Either way, they provide a quick and easy way for gamers to keep their setup or desk organized and free of rogue controllers laying about.

3. Handheld Emulator

Every gamer loves reliving their childhood and the memory of playing old games. Even though games have come so far in terms of graphics, mechanics, and animations, there’s something charming about retro games.

Handheld Emulators are affordable and versatile consoles that let you emulate and play retro games from the good old days. These portable and affordable devices are perfect for gaming on the go or after a long day when all you need is a simple game to relax.

When it comes to options, you have a ton to choose from. Our personal picks are ones from Anbernic, Retroid Pocket, and Miyoo. If you want to go for a higher and premium one, the Ayn Odin and Ayaneo are the top of the line handhelds. Although, premium experience means premium price tag. You can search for the options we mentioned earlier at this link here.

4. Gaming Console

These are pricier gifts for gamers but if you’re looking for something that will really blow them away, then a new console is perfect! With a ton of Holiday sales coming up, now is the best time to get a brand new console. Whether it be for yourself or a loved one!

The Nintendo Switch Oled is at a more affordable price right now. It has a lot of both indie and big brand titles in its library and is by far one of the more popular options. On the other hand, Sony is having a sale on PlayStation 5s and PlayStation peripherals starting tomorrow. If you want to know more about it, you can check out an article we published a few days ago.

While these are absolutely pricey options, nothing says “special gift” like a shiny new PS5 or Xbox.

5. A new Game

The most obvious but also sort of tricky choice is getting them a new game. While gamers are all about gaming nonstop, I guarantee you they have a backlog of games. Getting them a game is often both the safest option and the trickiest. Especially if the gamer is picky with what kind of games they play.

Just make sure that whatever game you get is compatible with their gaming setup.

So there you have it. Our top gift choices for the everyday gamer in your life! If you need more help and advice, don’t be afraid to just ask them directly. We hope this helped you get gifts for gamers. Happy shopping!
