Christmas gifts to get a Gamer

Buying Christmas gifts for a gamer is notoriously tricky. And that mainly has to do with the fact that much comes down to personal preference in terms of set up. So although you may be tempted to get them a new mouse, keyboard or screen, it's better to leave this up to them (a gift card goes a long way). But if you want to get them something for Christmas we have plenty of tips on things that they are sure to appreciate and have much use of.
Keep it practical
Although buying the bigger gaming components might be a bit of a gamble. There are some sure-fire things every gamer needs. If they play on a console then buying storage expansion is a great gift, as you can never have too much storage capacity. Long gaming sessions mean that you don't want to break focus so a mouse pad with wireless charging is a great gift to make sure the mouse doesn't die in a critical moment.
Accessories
There are some gaming accessories that are great and not dependent on personal preference. For example a great pair of headphones is never wrong, our favourites are Sennheiser audiophile or Beyerdynamic DT 990, they aren't necessarily pure gaming headphones but they are great headphones with better audio quality. If the person is looking to get into streaming then a great streaming camera and a microphone are great things to get them started. A fun thing to get is a VR headset so they can experience their favourite games in virtual reality.
