Gaming Mini Fridge
It can be a real pain in the neck to get up from your chair in the midst of a competitive game to grab a beer or an energy drink, which is why a mini fridge filled with refreshing beverages seems like a dream come true. A mini fridge capable of storing up to 6 standard beverage cans plus some snacks, is the perfect gift for an avid gamer to avoid dehydration. Make sure to check for cooling effectiveness to make sure it can cool all drinks fast, as well as efficiency, weight, style and color.
Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
If you know someone who owns a Nintendo Switch, this could be the perfect present for them. The tiny controllers of the Nintendo Switch are not everybody’s cup of tea which is why you may want a bigger, ergonomic controller for a more immersive gaming experience. This amazing, feature-packed wireless controller, equipped with motion controls, built-in amiibo functionality, nonslip performance grip, HD rumble, and more takes your gaming sessions up a notch. Not only is the well-rounded pro controller super comfortable, it is also relatively inexpensive, making it a must-have accessory for serious gamers looking to gain a competitive edge against their opponents.
Elgato Stream Deck
This is a cool streaming tool that lets avid gamers gain full control of their online streams. 15 fully customizable buttons trigger unlimited actions while visual feedback confirms commands. Launch GIFs and onscreen videos, launch Spotify, integrate tools and detect scenes, adjust audio, enable a transition, mute your mic, turn on lights, add intro and outro graphics, and so much more with the touch of a button. The most amazing thing about the new streak Deck is the removable faceplate. With hundreds of epic designs, you can personalize your Stream Deck according to your moods.
A comfortable Gaming Chair
Gamers spend a major part of their waking hours sitting down, so it makes sense to invest in something that will benefit their bodies and prevent discomfort. An ergonomic gaming chair with ample back and arm support is the most important arsenal in a gamer’s battle station. If you are looking for a gaming chair for your gamer friend with bells and whistles, look for 4-way lumbar support, high-end material and smooth leatherette finishes, 4D armrests and adjustability, memory foam headrest, plush cushioning for gamer’s comfort, and above all, style that suits the gamers’ personality.
Analogue Pocket

Boasting a Gorilla glass display and USB-C rechargeable battery, broad compatibility with Nintendo cartridges, accurate buttons that feel good, high color accuracy, vivid brightness, and the resolution of an original Game Boy, the analogue pocket is a beautiful way to experience some classics. The hand-help retro gaming clone, built using FPGA (field-programmable gate array) technology, is sure to revive their love for Game Boy games.
A Streaming Webcam
Do you know someone who loves to stream? Perhaps they would enjoy a high-end webcam that will make streaming a breeze. Look for HD 1080p resolution, Sharp, vibrant image quality, and low light correction, as well as built-in adjustable ring light and built-in microphone when selecting a webcam for an avid streamer. Throw in some added functionality such as PixGain HDR (high dynamic range), AI-driven noise-canceling, camera positioning, and filter application, for a webcam that will make you look your best.
