Gifts for Gamers – The Ultimate Guide to Making Any Gamer’s Day

Finding gifts for the gamers in your life is rarely easy. Even if you know what consoles they have, you could buy them a game they aren’t interested in or one they already own. 

Fetch is here with gamer gifting tips, and the first one is for you: find the best presents for gamers in Fetch Shop to earn points on nearly every dollar spent. Turn those points into a gift card (for yourself or as a gamer’s stocking stuffer gift).

How to choose great gifts for a gamer

It can be difficult to choose the right gift for anyone, but gifts for gamers can seem especially challenging. One of the first things you should narrow down is whether you have a console gamer or a PC gamer. 

Decoding what your gamer wants

1. Console vs. PC: There’s a good chance that if your gamer calls themselves a gamer, they probably play on at least two platforms: Nintendo, Sony, Xbox and/or PC. You need to figure out what games/accessories would even work for your gamer.
2. Genre: Some gamer gifts are easy and you can just get them the latest NBA 2k game. Other gamers might have a shelf of titles like Sekiro, Death Stranding and Persona 5 Strikers. Google is your friend here, but you might be better off giving a gift card (and they might prefer it).
3. Stream vs. solo: These days, quite a few gamers play games for others to watch. If you’re looking for gamer gifts for your streamer, think cool lighting, webcam upgrades and new mics. 

However your gamer games, you can shop across popular retailers like Walmart and Best Buy in Fetch Shop to ensure you get the most rewards for your dollar.

Popular types of gamer gifts

• Consoles and gaming hardware. If you’ve got a big celebration, a new console or a PC upgrade might be just the gift for your gamer. These big ticket items are sure to steal the show.
• Gaming accessories. Headphones, cool charging stations or a fun new colored shell for a PS5 are all great accessories for gamers. 
• Digital games and in-game purchases. A great gift for a gamer who lives far away, you can just send them a digital code. In-game purchases are fun, small, affordable gifts you can surprise someone with.
• Merchandise and collectibles. When we said “genre” above, did you already know a gamer or two who have a favorite franchise? From Super Mario to Final Fantasy to Tetris, every gamer’s favorite game has some gear and collectibles.
