Christmas is coming soon; are you still wondering what gift you could get for a close one who’s constantly gaming? Look no further; we’ve curated the perfect list for you!
Although some of these may require a bit of personal preference, we’ve jotted down everything a gamer could generally want, and we’ll leave the details up to you! Also, some stores like Razer and Prism+ are having huge discounts, so keep your eyes peeled for them! Now, let’s dive into the list and find the perfect gift for your gamer:
1. Gaming Peripherals
You can never go wrong with a new mouse, keyboard, or headset! Our recommendations for mice are the Logitech G304 and the Razer Orochi V2, both wireless. If you prefer a wired mouse, give HyperX Pulsefire Core a try! If they just got a mouse, then pair it with a new keyboard! We recommend getting the Royal Kludge R75, with hot-swappable switches to change things up every once in a while! However, they come ready with silver switches, which sound thick and not too clicky.
- Price: <RM200 for each product
- Where to buy: Logitech G304, Razer Orochi V2, HyperX Pulsefire Core, Royal Kludge R75
2. Steam Gift Card
If they don’t need any new accessories, then you can get them a gift card from Steam! Steam is a platform most gamers recognise, as it’s essentially where a lot of people shop for games online. The website offers tonnes of new and old games from both indie and big developers, plus there’s a big chance that your gamer already has something from Steam on their wishlist. Not to mention that you can get these physically or digitally, making these a safe option as last-minute gifts!
- Price: RM15 – RM300
- Where to buy: Steam
3. Merchandise
Merchandise is always a cute way to spice up a space! It’s especially cuter if it corresponds with something they like! From plushies to mugs, you’ll surely find the perfect gift for your loved ones. To find gifts like these, just go to any online shopping platform, like Shopee or Lazada, and search “(game name) merchandise”! There are different types of merch originally made by the developers of the game or fan-made, so choose wisely!
- Price: ~RM5 – RM 200
- Where to buy: Genshin Impact plush, Minecraft lamp, Pikachu mug
4. Upgraded Setup
It’s every gamer’s dream to have the ultimate PC setup, and you can help them achieve it! However, this is more personal, as the user would need to tell you themselves which parts they need to upgrade. But don’t worry if you want to keep it as a surprise; just simply take a look at their current setup!
Maybe they could use a second monitor, a new gaming chair, or even a new mic! For second monitors, we recommend anything from Prism+, as they’re the most budget-friendly but high-quality store. For gaming chairs, check out TTRacing or Secretlab, and for mics, head to Razer!
5. Laptop Accessories
If they game using a laptop, consider buying these accessories to ease their experience! Laptop gaming can be tedious as it tends to overheat quickly, especially if the laptop hasn’t been maintained or cleaned. You may gift them a laptop cleaning service or even a laptop cooler to prevent overheating! Besides that, you can also get them a laptop bag for easier travel with the device. It’s advisable to get an official gaming laptop bag as they are more durable and secure.
- Price: ~RM20 – RM40
- Where to buy: Asus Backpack, Fantech Laptop Cooler
6. Divoom Bluetooth Speaker
All gamers know about Divoom, the cutest table accessory! So, what better gift to give than the adorable table pet? Divoom is a brand that specialises in combining both light and audio components to create an amazing experience for users.
They offer a wide range of products; from the popular mini speakers to pixel art displays, there’s something for everyone at Divoom, making it the perfect gift shop stop! Get their products online or in-store at certain gadget shops; head to their Instagram for more info!
7. Latest Gadgets
Last but not least, you could always gift them the latest gadgets, like phones or tablets, depending on their preferences! We recommend getting the ROG Flow Z13 tablet if you’re looking to splurge for your hard-core gamer, but if you want something that isn’t too gaming-centered, then the iPad Air 10th Gen is the perfect tablet for everyday use! You can also get a smaller hand-held device, like the ROG Phone 8 Pro, perfect for gaming on the road.
- Price: ~RM2000 – RM8000
- Where to buy: ROG Flow Z13, iPad Air 10th Gen, ROG Phone 8 Pro
Of course, we never want to waste any gifts. If you already have something in mint condition at home that isn’t used, then it’s better to just re-gift it! We hope this list helped you a bit when picking gifts! Did we miss any of your favourites?
