With less than 2-weeks away from the big day, many of your big purchases are out of the way. If you’ve bought any big ticket gaming items for your kids, boyfriend, wife, husband or whoever, you’ve likely done it by now, or at least you should have. If you are like me, you are in stocking stuffer mode, looking for any smaller sized items to fill up that wonderful oversized sock of goodness. With that in mind, we have assembled a list of terrific stocking stuffer items for the gamer in your life. Sorry PC master race, this is one is for console gamers.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens Wired Controller for Xbox One
Okay I get it, it’s 2015 and the last thing we should have to do is play with a wired controller. But just look at how amazing these controllers look. Maybe I am getting a little too caught up in the Star Wars mania but these controllers are fire! Not only do these stylish controllers look slick, they feel great as well. These officially licensed Star Wars: The Force Awakens wired controllers for the Xbox One are not cheap but the quality is decent. PowerA has a track record for producing quality controllers and the Star Wars controllers are no exception as they feature dual rumble motors, impulse triggers, and a 9.8 foot cord. Bottom line, you really can’t go wrong with a PowerA Star Wars controller.

Halo 5 Charging Dock
I hope you still aren’t using regular batteries for your controller. If you are, shame on you. There is no excuse to be throwing money away like that. Charging stands are not only affordable but they save you money on batteries in the end. PowerA’s Halo Stands are ideal for your battery charging needs. Not only does this charge stand look great but the Halo Charging Stand for the Xbox One displays red when it’s charging and blue when it is done charging. The build of the stand doesn’t feel as sturdy as some of the other charging stations I have tried but this is a perfect little stocking stuffer for the Halo gamer in your heart.

Console Gift Cards
Gift cards come across as boring and completely unoriginal but you know what? We gamers love them! Year after year I ask my wife to get me either a PS Plus points card or an Xbox Live points card. I just love getting them as I hate spending out of pocket for that kind of stuff. Gift cards are as solid as they come and are guaranteed to make the recipient happy. They vary in price so you don’t have to break the budget. Check out the list of options on Amazon or your local retail outlet today.

Funko Pop Figures
These figures aren’t for everyone or just console gamers but aren’t they just so frickin cute?! Funko Pop figures are not as big and gawdy as some of the other gaming figures kicking around, so if you are looking for a stuffer that will cost you between say $8-15 bucks, and are non-intrusive, Funko figures are perfect. You can get an Assassin’s Creed figure or Sackboy, the options are endless. It doesn’t have to be gaming related either as Funko has characters from your favourite movie, comic or TV show.
