Popular Gifts for Gaming Geeks

So, are you looking to find the perfect gift for a gaming geek in your life? Surely, if you are no gamer yourself, this can be a pretty daunting task. You may have an idea about what they like, but you just can’t pinpoint what would be the best option exactly, especially due to the fact that there are so many different options out there.

Well, look no further - in this article, we have compiled a list of popular gifts for gaming geeks that are going to knock them out of their socks for sure, so, let’s start unpacking.

Let’s start this list off with a bang - a bit more expensive option, but opting for such a gift is without a doubt going to make the person in question one lucky gamer.

When it comes to gamers who haven’t yet had the chance to invest in a good gaming keyboard, finally being able to utilize it is going to boost their gaming experience exponentially. Such an upgrade is going to let them be able to take advantage of customizable backlighting, a more-ergonomic design, as well as of macro keys that can easily be programmed to carry out pretty much any keystroke sequence by just pushing a single button.

Now, this is a fun one - there are so many ways in which you can approach this gift. By buying custom mouse pads online you are, first of all, avoiding crowds and making the whole process easier, and second of all, you are able to use pretty much any image in the world while playing with mouse pad dimensions in order to conjure the perfect gift. Buying a high-quality mouse pad with the image that you have chosen is a great way to ensure that the present is both practical and that it’s more personal as well.

If your dear gamer is a big fan of Legend of Zelda, this present is right up their alley. There are plenty of different Zelda lights online, coming in various iconic shapes, sizes, and colors - it’s up to you to choose what you think is the best. Whatever you might end up choosing, the Triforce, rupee, or the heart container lights are all going to bring an ambient glow of geekiness to the room of a lucky person that is going to receive this gift.

This gift is quite simple, and yet extremely effective. If they love Pokemon, they are going to relish starting their mornings by sipping coffee or tea out of their Pokeball coffee mug. It has a fun shape, it’s meaningful, it’s pretty safe to say that any geeky Pokemon fan is going to appreciate being gifted with this officially licensed custom shaped mug

Whether you need a gift for someone who just craves a dose of nostalgia from the late 80s’ or early 90s’ or someone who still appreciates the 16-bit revolution due to the art, history, or pretty much anything else - the Sega Genesis mini is a perfect gift. 

You should know though, Sega Genesis Mini is not actually compatible with the older, classic Genesis game cartridges, but the Mini does come already preloaded with 42 iconic games, the most famous ones being Streets of Rage 2, Castlevania: Bloodlines as well as Sonic the Hedgehog. The package in which it comes in also has everything you need in order to plug it in and play right out of the box. It includes two controllers, a power cable, an adapter, as well as an HDMI cable.

You know what they say, you do have to catch ‘em all, right? Another Pokemon inspired gift, but with a different angle. Opting for personalized pet Pokemon cards is a really creative way to put a smile on someones’ face. Each homemade card includes customizable special moves of your choice for the pet in question, as well as custom portrait and attack moves.

This poster is not only a practical gift, ensuring that no good game slips under their nose, but it’s also elegantly designed and will make a great addition to anyone’s room when it comes to aesthetics. And hey, even if they happen to have already played all the games on the posters - those scratch-off things are extremely fun and satisfying.

Last but not least, any hardcore gamer knows that the most prominently used keys are the ones that easily encounter problems first. Due to the fact that WASD keys are, in most cases, the most used ones on the entire keyboard, gifting them stainless steel keycaps will upgrade their gaming keyboard with the same shiny flair. 

In the end, considering the fact that all of us have different personalities, preferences, and priorities - there is no rulebook that can ultimately guide you in finding a perfect gift. That being said though, there are some shortcuts, and by taking these ideas into consideration, you are already boosting the possibility of hitting the bullseye.

And, we should also mention - the sole idea of gifting should come from the heart, and if your intentions are in the right place, the person on the other end is surely going to appreciate it!
