But not to worry—we’re here to help! Regardless of who they are and what their preferred gaming platform is, here are the best gifts you can give them during the holidays.

The G Pro X may not be the most portable of headphones, but it’s unparalleled for gaming use in its price range. It offers a direction-accurate sound, a built-in microphone, and ear cups made out of foam and leatherette, making it extremely comfortable. The G Pro X’s sleek black color is a safe design option no matter who you’re gift to, as well.

Steam gift card

Instead of going through the trouble of choosing a game they may already have, it’s more practical to give them a gift card instead. PC remains the platform with the biggest library of games, so a Steam gift card is a safe choice. Alternatively, you can give them a PlayStation gift card, Nintendo eShop gift card, or Xbox gift card if they own consoles.

It’s difficult to play games for days if you don’t have a comfortable chair to sit on. The CORSAIR WW T1 may be cheaper than other chairs on the market, but it’s no less comfortable. This is largely due to the polyurethane foam and PU leather that make up most of its build. It’s height and backrest are both adjustable as well.
