25 Gifts for Gamers They'll Love to Find Under the Tree
Consider your Christmas shopping done.
We all have that person on our holiday shopping list: the one who spends hours on their console playing the latest video games. The good news is, it makes it easy to find a gift they're sure to love! Don't worry about getting the right size or wondering if they'll return your present. Whether they're into Call of Duty, Minecraft, or Madden, we have a gift for them.
Forget what you think you know about gamers. The realm is no longer dominated by teenage boys, although we do have plenty of gifts for them! According to Statisa, the largest demographic of gamers in the U.S. is 18-34 years old, and an estimated 46% of U.S. gamers are female. Boys and girls of all ages love to play, and don't forget about the mom who survived quarantine playing Animal Crossing or the dad who connects with his friends for online games. And then there's the grandma who plays Candy Crush on her phone!
If you're not sure what type of games they already have, look for gift cards or streaming services for Xbox, Playstation, Switch, or PC. They're sure to be their favorite gift under the tree this year. If a new console is out of the question due to shipping delays, then opt for one of these gifts that will arrive before Christmas!
