The holidays are so close to being here, and people are doing Christmas shopping. Here’s my top five gifts for a gamer in your life, as recommended by a gamer.

1. Nintendo Switch

For $399.99, the Nintendo Switch was released back in March of 2017, and ever since then, the product has been a massive success. Games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild are just some of the many classics coming from Nintendo.


2. Dualshock 4 Electric Purple Controller

For $74.99 at EB Games, this controller looks so amazing. It is the most beautiful design in my opinion and perfect for any PlayStation gamers you have in your life.

3. Handheld Retro Game Console Phone Case

For about $30 on Amazon.ca, you get a retro Gameboy-style of phone case, but it has functional buttons on the back, and you can play retro games such as Super Mario Bros., Tetris and Pac-Man.

4. Sega Genesis Mini

For $98.89 on Amazon.ca, you’re basically getting 40+ old Sega Genesis titles like Sonic the Hedgehog, Mega Man and many more, along with a mini Sega Genesis console for all of you old Sega Fans out there.

5. Pokeball Molded Coffee Mug

For $37.99 on Amazon.ca, whenever your gamer needs to wake up and grab their coffee, this Pokeball mug will make sure the coffee will get you ready to go and chase the Pokémon.
