Choosing gifts for a gamer can be a big challenge. Thankfully, we have put together this list of great gaming gifts that are perfect for the holiday season and should help you the rest of the year too. Here are the top five gifts for gamers.

Get a Gaming Cookbook

If you are looking for something practical for the gamer in your life and want to give them a Christmas gift that can help them get off the gaming chair and do something else, get them a cookbook. There are loads of game-influenced cookbooks to help them put down the joypad and pick up a ladle. From World of Warcraft to Halo, there is a cookbook for every gamer.

Buy Them Online Access

This is a great gift for a gamer who plays on video game systems like Microsoft’s Xbox or the Sony PlayStation. Both of these require gamers to pay for annual access to their online servers, as well as access to a huge library of games. This is the gaming gift that keeps on giving as you can buy them a year of online gaming and a massive selection of free games to play.

Choose a Laptop with the Latest Graphics

This is a big gift to get any gamer, but when you want to make a statement with your gift you need to go big or go home. Look for a laptop like these with Intel® Arc™ at Lenovo. These can give a gamer the graphics performance they need without a drop in battery life or processing power. They will need plenty of graphics capability to play their favorite games and the newest titles.

Say It with Accessories

T-shirts, coffee mugs, lights, models, there are loads of video gaming accessories a dedicated gamer can use to decorate their room, or themselves. This is a great choice if you are looking for stocking fillers or to create a gift hamper for a gamer. Bear these in mind if you have family members and friends looking for gifts for your gaming loved one. Gaming T-shirts and posters are good gift advice you can pass on to others.

The Right Tools for the Job

The joypad or keyboard and mouse combo your gamer uses is very important to them. The right feel of a pad in their hand or the correct response from a mouse can have life and death consequences for them, at least in a game. Have a look around their gaming space and see what they like to use and if they could do with an upgrade. PC gamers go through a gaming keyboard and mouse every year or so, which means you can get them this gift again soon enough.

Any one of these gifts should put a smile on the face of a gamer. If you are looking for something special for your special gamer, make sure you pick an item from this list to fill their stocking or wrap up to leave waiting for them under the Christmas tree.
