What are good Christmas gifts for gamers?

The best Christmas gifts for gamers fix something that bugs them every session or make their setup more fun. Xbox players get a lot out of a Magnetic Charging Station for Xbox Controllers, which comes with a rechargeable battery pack so they can stop buying AAs. PC players usually want a keyboard, mouse or headset upgrade, and anyone who streams will use a better mic or webcam. For a stocking, the Thumby Programmable Gaming Keychain is a real tiny console with five built-in games that clips onto their keys. Shopping for the non-gamers on your list too? Our Christmas gift ideas cover everyone else.

What do you need for a gaming room?

If you’re decking out a gaming room, start with these:

What is the best gift for a gamer?

The best gamer gifts are the upgrades they use every session but rarely splurge on themselves: a better headset, a pro controller, comfier seating, or a gift card toward their next game. Match it to how they actually play and you basically cannot miss.

What are good gamer gifts under $50?

Plenty. A game gift card, a solid wired headset, controller grips or a charging dock, RGB LED light strips for the setup, or themed decor and apparel all land under $50 and get used constantly.

What do you get a gamer who has everything?

Lean into personality and setup polish: ambient LED lighting, a desk mat, themed decor, a mini fridge for the battlestation, or collectibles from their favorite franchise. If they truly own every accessory, a gift card toward a new release never goes to waste.
