Your Christmas shopping should be winding down and, in some cases going down to the wire. Everyone is almost taken care of, as far as gift-wise, except for the gamer in your life. So what do you get a gamer? Don’t worry. We’re here to help you out.
Gamers usually have it all already, making it hard to shop for them sometimes. Christmas is always the perfect time to bless that special person in your life who enjoys picking up the sticks with a video game treat they weren’t expecting or with that one gift they always wanted.
If you need some hints, here are a few items that can make you the hero this holiday season.
You Can’t Go Wrong With A Secret Lab Gaming Chair
One thing every gamer needs is a high-quality gaming chair. Outside of tense moments forcing them to stand up to concentrate, gamers sit on their butts, and comfort is essential.
Right now, Secret Lab offers a selection of gaming chairs at different prices on the company website. For some chairs, you can save up to $250, which is huge due to how good, and pricey the chairs are.
Skullcandy PLYR Gaming Headset
Skullcandy, the company most notable for its selection of affordable but still premium headphones, has returned to the gaming space.
This year the audio brand announced three gaming headsets the SLYR ($59.99), SYLR Pro ($99.99), and PLYR wireless headset ($129.99). We managed to get our hands on the latter; they are a solid offering from the company. You can head to Skullcandy’s website to get a pair.
Custom Xbox Series X Controller
Why stick with the boring black Xbox Series X and S controllers when you can add some flair? You can head to the Xbox Design Lab to create either a regular controller or an elite controller if you’re a baller.
Games, Games, & More Games
