Holiday Gift Guide for Game Lovers
Video Game Gifts
Nintendo Switch
I had to include this of course. The newest game system from Nintendo is just getting more and more cool games for it. If you don’t have one yet, you should.
Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu (or Let’s Go Eevee)
The hottest game for Nintendo Switch. If you are a Pokémon lover you must have one of these games. Explore the Kanto region and become an awesome Pokémon trainer. If you play Pokémon Go on your mobile device as well, you’ll be excited to know there is a way to combine the two and get a cool Pokémon called Meltan.
Logitech Pro Gaming Headset
If your gaming friend talks to others while they play, they need this Logitech Pro Gaming Headset. Can be used no matter whether you are gaming on your PC or any console. The ear pads create a seal around your ears to block out other noises so you can concentrate on your gaming.
Board/Card Game Lover
Monopoly: Fortnite
Finally, a way to get your Fortnite addicted kid to play a board game on Family Game Night. In regular Monopoly you compete to own the most properties. In this Fornite edition you compete to survive, just like the video game. Play as one of 27 Fortnite characters.
Cards Against Humanity
The party game for horrible people! I love this game but you have to not get offended easily or you won’t want this. I think everyone knows someone who would enjoy this game. There are other similar games that have come out since Cards Against Humanity was first available but this is the original and the best.
Googly Eyes
If you are looking more for a game for the family, I highly recommend this one. You draw what it says on the card while the other person guesses it… BUT you have to do it with special glasses that make it hard to see. There are three degrees of difficulty and don’t worry, the glasses fit over regular glasses if you wear them like me. This was fun.
Other Gamer Gifts
I Paused My Game to Be Here T-shirt
This funny shirt is available in Men’s sizes S-3X although women can certainly wear it too. If it came in kid’s sizes I’d be buying it for my son. How true is this shirt for some people?
Keep Out Gaming Sign
Isn’t this so funny? If your gamer plays in a separate room, this sign on the door would be gold. It’s made of tin and there are tons of other similar signs if this one doesn’t quite strike your fancy.
Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition 2019
I bought this book a few years ago (an older edition) and I loved reading all the neat facts. This is a great gift if your gamer family member or friend loves lots of different types of video games from WWE to Roblox to Fortnite and more.
I hope you found a gift idea for the game lover in your life!
So many great choices and ideas for presents for the game playing nephews and nieces. I would love to see that Monopoly Fortnight version, Monopoly has always been a classic.
The Switch is on our list also as a must-buy. In fact, we did for our oldest. Hopefully she’ll be surprised!
Speaking of games, I all wanted this season was a cheap Ps4 bundle and I was not able to score one. Hoping that deal comes around again soon.
My son really wants the Nintendo switch. It is the number one thing on his list. I do love this gift guide and I’m hoping that I can get a few things for him on it.
The I Paused My Game to be Here is my favorite item on the guide. Great gamer gift guide! My kids will like these.
This is a great list. My entire family loves playing games. We are huge fans of board games and video games. Love them all.
Cards Against Humanity is on my wishlist this year. We’ve never owned it but have played it and it’s fun! I would love to add it to my collection.
We are thinking about the Switch. We have an xbox but the Switch has such fun games!
You can never have too many game systems :)
I have some game lovers in my family! I am sure that they will love some of these ideas. I the the Monopolu Fortnite. Would be fun to play it.
My kids want the Switch so bad. Santa might have to put it under the tree!
So many great choices and ideas for gifts for the game players in my family. I would love to see that Monopoly Fortnight, my son would love that!
I just got the Guinness Worlds Records Gamer’s Edition 2019 for my son. He loves games and I thought it was a great gift to incorporate reading into it. He would enjoy the Nintendo Switch.
