Gaming is a hobby for all, a pastime that can be enjoyed by all ages, genders and interests. They can be shared together and help form bonds or played solo for the enjoyment of the single player.

Here we detail some of the best gifts and accessories for those who love gaming, be they a gamer girl or boy, so that you can make the right decision when picking something out for them.

Gaming Chairs

A place to game needs to be comfortable, so finding something that provides the right lumbar support without affecting your ability to lock-in and level up can really add to a gamer’s experience.

If looking for a fully immersive experience, the BraZen Stag has Bluetooth surround sound to really put the player into the middle of the action whilst still providing comfort and support.

Alternatively, Subsonic make awesome branded gaming chairs from all of your favourite franchises. So, you can select a seat that shows off their love for Batman as they stalk the streets of Gotham in the Arkham trilogy. Whatever brands they love, there’s something for everyone.

Desk Pads

Desk pads are a fun and funky way of protecting your desk from scratches, spills and daily wear. Ideal for PC gamers who use a desk a lot, or those with a streaming setup, they can come in an array of styles to suit a unique aesthetic.

With so many great desk pad and coaster sets to choose from, you can find cutesy ones like the Fuzzball XL desk pad, that shows off adorably cartoonish cats, or edgier ones like the iconic scene of British comic book character Judge Dredd, as he responds to a personification of fear trying to turn him mad through it’s very visage, with a fist to its face.

With so many games, films and TV shows covered, there’s a favourite for fans of all stripes.

Controllers

You always need more controllers! Whether it’s because you’re having friends’ round or that you’re wireless one ran out of battery at the worst possible moment, extra controllers are always greatly received.

And with colourful designs and skins, you can customise your setup to perfection. So, if they love racing games, like the latest Gran Turismo on PS5, then a racing wheel controller can make them feel like they’re truly in the driver’s seat.

With plenty of colourful and comfortable choices, help them customise their console with a controller to complement their personality.

Headsets

For online gamers, a headset is a must so they can chat with friends and still get the full effect of the game’s soundtrack. Headsets come in at all sorts of price points and quality, so finding a good pair that suits the needs of a gamer comes down to their individual desires.

The PlayStation PULSE is perfect for PS5 gamers who want high quality audio and a wireless headset that includes noise cancelling tech for crystal clear audio.

The Oniverse Polaris headset is a compact and colourful choice thanks to its LED lights that make it a futuristic and fun piece of tech, and RIG are extremely popular thanks to their mid-range price but quality mic and comfortable, flexible and durable headbands.

Carry Cases

Carry cases are essential bits of gear for those carting their consoles about and you can get the protective pieces you need for all sorts of tastes.

If you’re looking for a Switch 2 carry case for a Super Mario fan then the Mariokart World carry case offers a sturdy, secure and stylish option, with 12 cartridge slots for games and a screen cloth too. Alternatively, if they want something with a cute and cuddly appeal, they may enjoy a Squishmallows carry case for that official Squishmallows softness that still protects their handheld.

Or, if they have the original Switch then why not indulge them with the premium carry case that comes with the Hyper Sentinel download code so they can enjoy a new game on the go whilst also protecting their console.

PlayStation 5 players will love the PlayStation Transport Bag that has space for their console, all its cables, controllers, and even the PlayStation Portal remote player add on.

Game Lockers

If they are a serious gamer who already has loads of games, headphones and controllers, then maybe a game locker will help keep their things organised, with dedicated spaces for all of these items.

There are loads of fun choices with some of the biggest names in gaming getting their own designs. The Sonic Game locker sees Sonic the Hedgehog face off against his iconic rival Dr. Eggman, the Creeper locker is perfect for fans of Minecraft, and  the famous Fortnite llama gets their own locker too.
