Christmas shopping season is just around the corner, and if you have a gamer on your list, you may not know what to get them. If you aren’t a gamer yourself, it can be hard to know what they have, what they need, and what they’ll like. Is there a new Legend of Zelda game out, and are they still playing that franchise?

But picking out a gift for the gamer in your life doesn’t have to be a guessing game. There are a few things every gamer could always use, especially when it comes to upgrading their setup. Read on to discover some of the best gifts for gamers that they won’t already have.

1. PDP Gears of War 5 Prop Replica Customized Lancer

If your gamer plays Gears of War 5, we have the gift that will cement your place as the best gift giver. One of the most iconic automatic weapons in the game is a Customized Lancer. You can get a replica of this weapon and make your gamer’s Christmas.

The replica is hand-painted to give it stunning realistic touches. It has a fully adjustable sight, functioning switches and levers, and responsive triggers with functioning LED lights. The player will be able to use the gun for a fully immersive gaming experience, including using the removable flashlight.

2. Gunnar Optiks Intercept Computer

If you work on a computer (and most of us these days do), you spend most of your day staring into a backlit screen. This kind of light exposure is hard on our eyes and can contribute to vision loss over time. For gamers, this problem is exacerbated since they spend more time than many looking at a screen.

Luckily, you can get a gift to protect your gamer’s eyes: the Gunnar Optiks Intercept Computer glasses. These glasses come with a slight magnification, similar to reading glasses, and a yellow tint. The yellow helps to cancel out the blue light from the computer screen, protecting the gamer’s eyes.

3. Astro A50 Gaming Headset

Many games these days are played in teams, with groups gathering in online chatrooms to play together. Gamers get on group phone calls, meet up in these virtual worlds, and carry out various missions. But if you’re trying to fight off an enemy horde, you don’t want to try to have to pay attention to staying in the range of a microphone.

The solution is the Astro A50 Gaming Headset, a tool designed specifically for gamers. It comes with Dolby Surround Sound technology, the same kind they use in movie theaters for hyper-realistic sound. It also has an attached microphone and professional audio drivers that give an elegant finish.

4. X Rocker Gaming Chair

Have you ever walked by your gamer’s room to see them sitting on the floor or hunched over on the edge of a futon or bed? For Christmas this year, why not get them some more comfortable seating arrangements? The X Rocker Gaming Chair is the perfect choice to keep your gamer comfortable and happy.

This chair comes with powerful speakers to fully immerse the player in their game of choice. There are even vibration motors that can be synced with motion in the game to make the gamer feel like they’re in their virtual world. It’s the perfect way to fulfill all their best game room ideas.

5.Mini Desk Fan

PC gamers will know one of the biggest struggles is keeping your space cool, and we don’t just mean aesthetically. Computer games use a lot of memory, and that means computers start overheating. Even if the computer’s cooling system can keep up, your gamer will be sitting at their desk sweating as their computer tries to keep up.

A small desk fan can be a wonderful unexpected gift that your gamer will love. It will keep them and their equipment cool and can actually help keep their computers in good condition longer. You can get a basic small fan that plugs into the wall or find one that plugs into a computer USB port.

6. Atlantic Gaming Desk

Your gamer will need someplace in their game room to put all those computers and consoles. And sure, a regular desk could work, but why do that when you could get them the ultimate gaming desk? Meet the Atlantic Gaming Desk, the furniture piece that can meet all the wishes your gamer never knew they had.

The desk is made of steel and will be sturdy enough to support all your gamer’s gear. The legs have cup holders, a headphone hook, and a variety of other attachments to hold accessories. There is also a cable management system, a charging station, a monitor stand, a game storage rack, speaker trays, and more.

7. Netgear Nighthawk S8000

If you want to get your gamer a gift that will look like it came straight out of 3019 and will improve their gaming experience, the Netgear Nighthawk S8000 is it. The Nighthawk is an ethernet switch, a central port that connects computers, printers, consoles, controllers, and all sorts of other wired devices.

The Nighthawk has eight ports and a unique network trafficking prioritization system that will make sure nothing ever gets hung up in your gamer’s system. It is geared towards high-performance gaming and will ensure a seamless playing experience. And best of all, you can get it for less than $100!
