25 Best Gifts for Gamers 2022 — Gift Ideas for Video Gamers

The gift of reliable, fast-speed internet is one that just keeps on giving. With this lil guy, they’ll be able to extend their internet service to reach every corner of their home and stream, download, and play on multiple devices all at once. They’ll never utter the dreadful words, “I’m lagging,” ever again.

Spice up their coffee table with this extensive book on the classic Nintendo system and its games. And if you really wanna turn it into a great gift, give them the complete set with Volume 2 too!

Chances are, they’d love a custom Xbox controller, and you can gift one through Xbox Design Lab! Just have them design their dream controller on the site (they can pick through tons of different colors, finishes, button styles, and rubber grips—plus, they can even personalize it with their own gamer tag). Then once they’re done, and it’s added to their cart, ask them to send you a screenshot of the “Show Details” section. From there, you can create it to their liking and have it shipped directly to them.

They can turn any wall or door into a giant Gameboy with this peel-and-stick dry erase board. I mean, name a cooler place to list your to-do’s and reminders. I’ll wait.

Sitting up straight for hours on end can be uncomfortable for anyone. Don’t let their beloved hobby be the reason they have back problems later on in life. Instead, gift them this stylish ergonomic gaming chair so they can be as comfortable as possible while gaming day and night.

If you’re truly stumped on what to get, you can never go wrong with a membership or game pass. This three-month option with Xbox allows them access to Xbox Live Gold and over 100 high-quality games. Of course, if they don’t have an Xbox, don’t worry; other consoles like Nintendo or Playstation also make their own membership passes and gift cards too.

A dead controller is the absolute worst for a gamer. So make sure that never happens again with this dual max charger. They’ll be able to play up to 45 hours (!!) off of a full charge, and it even comes with extra rechargeable batteries, too, for those just-in-case situations.

This remote-controlled galaxy projector will definitely level up (pun intended!) their gaming den.

Etsy has tonssss of cute video game merch. I’m sure you’ll find something that fits both their favorite franchise and style.

It’s satisfying, it’s stylish, and, yes, it lights up.

If they’re always taking their switch everywhere, make sure they have a (cute) protective case to carry it in.

I’m just sayin’… they’re gonna need to protect those precious eyeballs from fatigue if they’re spending allllll that time staring at a screen!

It’s likely they’re not on their phone whenever they’re gaming—why not give them a pretty charging dock/place for their cell to live?

Honestly, LED lights for the back of their TV would make gaming and even movie nights that much cooler.

Real computer gamers know that dinky little mouse pads with barely any surface coverage just don’t cut it. So get ’em this gigantic one that even lights up.

This super squishy seat cushion costs a lot less than an ergonomic gaming chair! Your wallet and their booty will certainly thank you for it.

A cute phone case to show off their gaming pride.

This sync box can connect to Philips Hue color-changing lightbulbs and your giftee’s TV and gaming console. The result? A super cool lighting situation that changes to match the mood of whatever’s on the screen!

This high-tech device is basically Alexa on steroids. Your loved one will absolutely adore the hands-free experience of getting stuff done via Amazon’s Echo Show.

Because you know that Switch controller ain’t all that comfortable.

Here it is, the ultimate gamer gift (and one of Oprah’s Favorite Things of 2021, jsyk). It may be $$$ but it is a virtual reality headset after all.
