Make sure his posture stays good with an ergonomic gaming chair

If you want to go a little above-and-beyond, look into getting him a gaming chair!

Why these chairs are so important compared to a normal office chair, I'm not really sure I quite understand - but it's not my job to understand, its my job to recommend.

So, again, with some really great inside information - I recommend you go with this one.

Customize his set-up with a personalized console controller

I'm a big sucker for personalized or customized gifts. It just makes it that little bit more unique, you know?

So, why not go with a customized controller for the non-PC gamer?

Make sure you know which console he uses! Appearantly Xboxes and PlayStations are NOT the same.

For Xbox check it out here.

For PlayStations, go right here.

Get him some gamer-themed clothing with his favorite game or character

When getting a gift for someone, the more you know your recipient the better, because the more customized you can get the gifts.

If you know what kinda games and shows he likes, I recommend you go with themed clothing! A T-shirt or hoodie representing their favorite game, or even faction in the game.

For example, and although this is like, 12 years ago now, my brother freaked out when I got him this World of Warcraft hoodie representing his faction in the game.

Some other fan favorite clothing I know always do well is:

League of Legends, Call of Duty, Valorant, Fortnite, World of Warcraft.

Again, make sure you know they actually play the game your getting them merch for!

A wonderful affordable gift could be some collectibles for his games such as a funko pop

Speaking of game merch, it doesn't have to be clothing!

Look up some action figures, or collectibles for his games. I know the funko pop figurines is always a fun and affordable gift!

Make sure he's got the best tools for the job with a gaming keyboard and/or mouse

This is a two-for-one!

For the PC gamer, I know that equipment is everything.

Make sure he's got the right stuff with a gamer keyboard and mouse. These light up, which I don't really know if makes a difference for the actual gameplay, but it sure looks cool.

For the mouse you should go with this one.

For the keyboard you should go with this one.

Light up his room or gaming station in the coolest way possible with LED light strips

Hey, maybe he's already got a light-up keyboard and mouse.

Maybe he needs to light up something else.

So let's light up his room!

Make sure his gaming station is looking fly with some LED light strips that he can hang up in his room, that changes color based on what he prefers and just kinda makes the space look really stylish.

I'm a huge fan.
