Top 25 Gifts for Gamers

My son Garrett is 9 years old. Like most tweenagers these days, he is rarely seen without an iPad in one hand and a game console in the other.

Just kidding. Kinda.

But as he gets older he is getting harder to buy for because toys just don’t interest him any more. He loves playing Roblox on his iPad with his buddies and every once in a while I’ll catch him playing with his Grossery Game figures.  But mostly it’s all electronic, all the time.

So. I decided to compile a list of ideas for all you moms out there who are trying to figure out what to buy those kids who have outgrown the toy phase of life.

Take a look at all of these unique and traditional gifts for gamers! From stocking stuffers to the ultimate gamer gifts, this list has a little bit of everything. Prices vary to cover any sized budget. If you are looking to really spoil a gamer this year, turn your gift into a gamer’s gift basket by adding some other goodies such as their favorite energy drink, snack, and candy. Don’t forget about the gaming memberships! Gamers always need a way to connect and play online.
