For Gamers

Gifts for gamers, from Game Boy nostalgics to today's console players.

There is an iPhone case with built-in retro games, a Minecraft alarm clock, a Super Mario chess set, a Tetris mug that changes with heat and an LED stand for the Xbox Series X.

Tip: ask what they play now and what they played as a kid; gifts that recall a specific game are the ones that land. For cases and stands, check compatibility with their phone or console.
