6 – Pokemon Go Plus
If you are feeling a little more generous (and very lucky in store) the Pokemon Go Plus is still a hot item. When Pokemon Go launched it was a global phenomenon, albeit short-lived. As the craze started to die down the game has seen fans play more with each big update, and with the next batch of 100 Pokemon releasing soon, it’s sure to spark new interest. The Pokemon Go Plus is a simple and handy device, great for players from small kids to students who are on the go and encourages getting outside. While its retail price may be a bit steep for a stocking stuffer ($35 if you can find it in store) it’s sure to go a long way in making someone’s holiday.
5 – Toys to Life
With the constant release of HD games and blockbuster titles, it’s easy to overlook the little guys: the toys. While the craze has died down in recent years, Amiibo and Skylanders are both going strong. Amiibo make fantastic collector items, with highly detailed and colorful characters, whereas Skylanders has recently launched their latest title – Imaginators – with over 30 new characters to collect as well as a ton of creation crystals for your custom characters. While Amiibo’s will add bonus content, any gamer who loves the Skylanders series will need every last character they can get to get the most out of their experience. Each retailing under $20, and it’s another nice surprise to reach into the big red sock and find a highly detailed and digitally functional figure.
4 – Controller Decals
Most gamers will tell you that we love customization. Characters, Cars, Levels, Gear, we want it tailor made exactly to our individual specifications. So why wouldn’t you want the same thing for your controller? There are a ton of aftermarket options to order for your PS3/PS4/WiiU/360/Xbox One controllers to give them all kinds of creative looks from the basics like camo, pixels, and simple color swaps to character or property specific images. Some websites will even give you the option of custom designs for that extra touch of personality.
