The Nintendo lover in your life needs the latest and greatest from the brand, aka this game.

Double their storage so they can download even more of their favorite games with this Xbox Series S console. It also has features like Quick Resume, lightning-fast load times, and support for gameplay of up to 120 FPS.

Chances are their current headphones have seen better days. Level up their sitch with this wireless gaming headset that has 360° spatial audio and a 38-hour battery life.

They’ll need a refuel eventually! Hopefully this v fitting mug will remind them to stay hydrated as they game on.

Ummmm, these are adorable? This creator takes old, 2D vintage game scenes and carefully renders them as 3D boxes. They also do scenes from Zelda and MarioKart, which makes for a bunch of great gifting options.

If they need to spruce up their sacred gaming space, get them a neon sign with their gamer tag on it. The gift they never knew they needed, and touchingly personal? Yup and yup. (Etsy also has block lettering versions and fun messages.)

If they nerd out on the tech aspects of gaming, get them a framed vintage electronic—disassembled so they can see the gorgeous inner workings. It’s the perfect accent piece for their gamer setup.

A key piece of tech is the right mouse—and this one lets users change the weight to suit their preferences. Plus, it has 11 customizable buttons and incredible sensitivity for optimal responsiveness.

If they’re streaming, get them an upgraded microphone (that podcasters also love, so you know it’s good) that’ll pick up their voice super crisp and clear.

If they’re the type that likes to play laaaaate into the night, at least give them some options for quick sustenance before they rush back to their game.

If they need a door sign to adorn their dedicated gaming space or could use a lil accent on their bureau nearby, get them a custom version that comes in different colors and goes up to 20 characters.

Serious gamers know that with all this tech comes a whole bunch of mess. This organizer lets them keep their cords, accessories, mouse, and chargers in one place. Believe me, this will come in handy, especially during travel days.

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.

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

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!

Ah, yes, the beloved Nintendo Switch—but now in a lighter, more compact version! This lil one is especially great for travel or on-the-go gaming. Plus, it’s available in six different fun colorways (and we love aesthetic gaming, don’t we?).

If they want vintage gaming vibes head to toe (with sneakers that are ethically made and comfy), get them a subtle nod to their old favorite games. I hardcore miss Pong, tbh.

If they like to reach for a cold beverage while they play, this lil fridge holds a surprising amount of stuff. And it has a freezer in case they wanna chill something quickly or upgrade with some ice.

Obviously this is a useful tech gift for basically anyone, but for the “gamer who has every device” but hasn’t considered the convenient and light iPad Air, you may have just made their year. Just get the option with the most GBs.
