What Gift for a Gamer? Ideas That Will Make Any Gamer Happy

Finding the right gift for a gamer can be a tough challenge, especially if you're not a gaming fan yourself and have no clue about the topic. Not to mention that the gadgets gamers desire can often be quite expensive. How do you approach this without accidentally buying another unnecessary item? At Diablo Chairs, we know exactly what gaming enthusiasts love, so we've prepared a list of exciting gift ideas for gamers – from small tokens that won’t break your budget to reliable accessories that will last for years.

Gift for a Gamer – Why a Game Isn’t Always the Best Choice?

When thinking about a gift for a gamer, the first idea that probably comes to mind is adding another game to their collection. It’s a great choice, but only if you know exactly what to buy. Ideally, you should be a gamer yourself or be very familiar with the recipient's preferences.

Otherwise, the purchase might turn out to be disappointing. Why? There’s a risk that:

  • You might buy a game they already own,
  • You could pick a title for the wrong platform, such as a console the gamer doesn’t have,
  • You might miss the mark on their taste – not everyone enjoys sports games, and some don’t play shooters.

If you're sure that a game is the best gift for a gamer, a good approach would be to simply ask directly which title and for which platform to buy. While this might take away the element of surprise, it will also prevent unnecessary disappointment.

What to Buy as a Gift for a Gamer? Tried-and-Tested Ideas for Every Budget

The secret to choosing a satisfying gift for a gamer lies in tailoring it to the recipient. The key to success is careful observation—take note of their gaming setup, their favorite colors, what platform they play on, what they sit on (is it a gaming chair?), and whether they stream their gameplay. By understanding these preferences, you can be confident in selecting the perfect gift from our versatile list. We've arranged our suggestions to suit both those on a tight budget and those who aren’t concerned about the cost.

Gift Ideas for Gamers Under €25

A well-thought-out gift for a gamer doesn’t have to be expensive. Here are a few suggestions for those who don’t want to spend more than €25.

 

 

Gaming Mug

A mug is a great example of a gamer gift under €25 that is sure to bring a smile to their face. The key requirement – it must feature a design from their favorite game or universe. You can also find inspiration in the movies, series, or books they enjoy. Before purchasing, it’s worth checking what’s currently trending for them or opting for a universal gaming-themed mug.
An interesting alternative is a thermal bottle, allowing them to enjoy a hot or cold drink even during the longest gaming sessions. Plus, it’s perfect for real-world adventures and quests beyond the virtual realm.

Gaming T-Shirt

Gamers who enjoy expressing their passion through fashion will also appreciate a gaming-themed T-shirt. The same rule applies as with the mug – the T-shirt should feature a design related to their favorite series to bring the most joy. Knowing the recipient's taste is essential to picking the perfect one.

 

Gaming Subscription

Instead of choosing a single game, consider gifting a gamer access to a vast library of titles through a subscription to one of the popular gaming services. The gift comes in the form of a code that activates or extends an existing subscription, making it useful even for someone already subscribed. However, it's essential to know what platform they play on to ensure compatibility.

 

Gift Ideas for Gamers Up to €100

With a budget of €100, you have a wider range of options for a gamer’s gift. Here are some of the most exciting choices.

 

 

Gamepad

Among the accessories for gamers, one of the most important is the gamepad. It should be on every self-respecting gamer’s desk. So, if you don’t see one on your gamer’s desk, it’s a sign that you’ve just found the perfect gift. Gamepads vary in platform compatibility, appearance, and button layout. The good news is that most work seamlessly with PC computers. The downside is that they are usually not universal for all consoles. Therefore, you need to buy a gamepad suitable for the specific equipment they own.

Mouse pad

A mouse pad is a safe and proven gift idea for a computer gamer. However, we don’t mean a small mat from the bargain bin of cheap gadgets. It’s worth looking into branded products that will last for years. The key factor here is size – usually, the bigger, the better. This ensures that the gamer has enough space for movement, even during the most intense gameplay. A great option is mats that cover a large part of the desk surface. Not only do they protect the desk from dirt, but they also enhance the design of the gaming setup. A fantastic idea would also be a mouse pad with a custom print or LED backlighting.

Backpack for a Gamer

Although gamers are mostly associated with spending time at their desks, they also enjoy traveling. During trips, however, they don’t part with their favorite gear, so it's a great idea to gift them a sturdy backpack for gamers. It should definitely have a dedicated space for a laptop or a compartment for a portable console, as well as a designated spot for a drink bottle. A built-in USB port is also a welcome feature, allowing for quick and convenient charging of a smartphone from the power bank inside the backpack. It’s also good if it has a special pocket for a wallet and documents, cable management, or anti-theft features.

Gift for a Gamer Up to €250

With a larger budget, you can gift a gamer something that will last them for many years. Here are our suggestions.

 

 

Gaming Chair

Gamers spend long hours at their gaming setup, often forgetting about the world around them. That's why it's important to take care of their health and gift them a gaming chair, which will ensure a proper posture at the desk and look incredibly stylish. Diablo Chairs gaming chairs are definitely a better choice than traditional office chairs. With advanced Tilttech™ systems, players can adjust the height, backrest tilt, or armrest position to their preferences, and also use the safe rocking function to relax between virtual battles. For fans of multi-colored lighting, it's a great idea to gift a model with a subtle LED strip – Diablo X-Starter LED. An interesting option is also the possibility of choosing a unique embroidery on the headrest in Diablo X-Horn and X-Player, so the gamer’s nickname or name can be displayed.

Smart Lighting Set

Most gamers love when their gaming setup looks perfect. It's an opportunity to express their style and personality. So why not take advantage of that? A smart lighting set will be another way to highlight the gaming character of their desk. Options include color-changing LED strips, neon symbols, and backlit gaming accessories like keyboards, mice, or headphones. Some smart systems can even synchronize their colors with what’s happening on the screen. This is a must-have for true gadget enthusiasts.

 

Streaming Set

A streaming set is a rather unconventional but incredibly useful gift for a gamer who wants to try their hand at game streaming. To start a career as a gaming influencer, a dedicated microphone, an advanced headset, and the Holy Grail of all streamers – a device equipped with convenient buttons that make streaming easier will definitely come in handy and take their streams to a whole new level.

Gift for a Gamer Above €250

There’s no need to set up external sensors or deal with tangled cables. The satisfaction of gaming will be incredible, especially if the gamer has never experienced virtual reality before.
