Fridge Magnets
Another Holiday Gift Guide stocking stuffer merch idea is fridge magnets. Some of the cooler fridge magnet sets I’ve seen go in and out of print. I really wanted to highlight a Mario-Maker-like Super Mario Bros. NES set that looks to be eBay-only. But this set that transforms a fridge into a GameBoy is pretty cool too.
Nintendo Switch MicroSD Card
Even though the Switch 2 is out, Nintendo plans on keeping the original Switch going strong. If someone wants to get the most out of their Switch, they probably need to increase its storage. The MicroSD cards for the original Switch are still fairly reasonably priced. A tiny card like this makes a great Holiday Gift Guide stocking stuffer.
Gaming Mouse
If people want to PC game, they’ve got to have a gaming mouse. There are a lot of expensive options out there. But some of the cheap ones are still excellent. The gaming mouse has great reviews, and works perfectly for casual PC players like me. A great under the tree option for pro gamers is the Turtle Beach II Pro Mouse. COGconnected recently loved and reviewed it here.
Mousepads & PC Accessories
If we put a mouse on our Holiday Gift Guide, then we have to put a mousepad on it too. There are lots of options, large and small. But there are some really gorgeous game-specific ones out there. I’ve been looking at this Silent Hill desk mat for a while, and the price is right. Razer recently unveiled its Cinnamoroll collection of PC accessories, for fans of Sanrio and anyone wanting something less terrifying.
Mugs
Another easy stocking stuffer Holiday Gift Guide classic is the coffee mug. There are so many mug options out there. Amazon has a few really cool ones, with this NES-era Super Mario pipe mug being one of my favs.
Plush Toys
Plush Toys are a great Holiday Gift Guide option, because people of all ages love them. A great source for inexpensive, quality, video game plush toys, is Fangamer. They’ve got lots of franchises, although some sell out fast. There’s a restock planned on Hollow Knight plush toys soon, so be sure to keep an eye out.
Thumbsticks
Some game players really grind on those thumbsticks. It’s great to have some replacements available. Other players just like to customize their controllers. Kontrol Freek has lots of great options, including these Minecraft creeper ones pictured below:
Gift Cards
Finally, no video game Holiday Gift Guide would be complete without mentioning gift cards. If you don’t know what to get the video game player in your life, you can always let them choose. There are gift cards available in many stores physically and online. They come in multiple denominations. You definitely won’t have a hard time getting gift cards for PlayStation, Nintendo, Xbox, or Steam.
