Christmas is just around the corner
Before it’s too late, and you find yourself fighting your way through other desperate shoppers one week before Christmas. Never mind the hour it took you to find a parking spot at your local shopping center. Do yourself a favour, and get your holiday shopping over and done with now. Here’s a few great ideas for the hardcore Gamer on your Christmas list.
1 – Playstation VR bundle
The next evolution in gaming is Virtual Reality. PS4 leads the way with their Playstation VR system. Provided you already own a PS4. This is still the most affordable way to get into true Virtual Reality gaming. If you haven’t tried it, I suggest you do. It will blow your mind.
2 – Imperial Assault Heart of the Empire
Any of you that read my The Gamer in me posts are well aware of how impressed I am with Star Wars Imperial Assault. The new full Campaign expansion takes your heroes to Coruscant to battle with classic characters like Emperor Palpatine and Darth Maul. How can you resist that!
3 – Miniatures Storage Box
This is something that every tabletop miniatures Gamer can fully appreciate. Sure we love to display all of our fully painted miniatures. You know what we love more though? Actually taking them over to our friend’s place, or local Game store and playing with them. A handy carrying case makes transporting your favourite figs so much easier.
4 – Wireless Gaming Headset
This falls into the gift for both of you category. How many times have you had to ask your kids, or significant other to lower the volume on the TV? A high quality Gaming Headset allows you to get some much needed peace and quiet, while the Gamer in your house can play until the coffee runs out. You are welcome for the idea.
5 – 4K UHD high speed Game Screen
Depending on where the TV ends up. This can qualify as a gift for both of you as well. Who doesn’t want a brand new Ultra High Definition TV? I’m considering buying another one for the bathroom so you know I’d welcome one for Christmas. Movies look great on a high end TV, but videogames can look phenomenal. Just go buy one for yourself, and tell your significant other that it’s for them. You can thank me later.
6 – Card Game collector Albums
For years I played many of the most popular Collectible Card Games. I honestly couldn’t have enough Collectors binders. This is one of the gifts that you can spend a lot, or a little on. Trust me the Collectible Card Gamer on your Christmas list will be happy with a custom collector’s binder, or a generic card binder.
7 – Simulator Gaming chair
This is quite simply the ultimate gift for the Gamer that you know that loves racing games. Get them a copy of Gran Turismo, a high quality gaming wheel, and this chair. Just be prepared to not see them until Spring, maybe. As much as I would love to have one of these. I don’t think my marriage would survive it. Although it would probably be fine if I got two! Hmmm?
8 – Couch Slipcover
After picturing yourself setting lap records on Laguna Seca in your brand new Gaming chair. The last item on my list is a Slipcover? You are going to have to trust me on this one. The living room couch takes a ridiculous amount of abuse when there are Gamers in the house. It’s the only piece of furniture in my living room that is beat up. A simple Slipcover adds some much needed comfort, protection, and washable solution when the stains inevitably happen. This is really a gift for everyone, but give it to the Gamer. They will most definitely understand your reasoning.
Have a truly happy Christmas
I hope this helps you narrow down your Christmas list. Here’s to hoping that you get exactly what you were hoping for as well.
