6 gift tips for avid gamers

Christmas is getting closer and closer and now it's really time to put some presents under the tree. But what kind of gift do you choose for the avid gamer? Whether you're shopping for yourself, your partner, a friend or a family member:with these handy tips you always choose the right item for the avid gamer in your circle of acquaintances.

1. Play online
Does the gamer like an online game? Then you can certainly make this person happy with a subscription. Think, for example, of a Playstation Plus 12-month subscription, which he or she can use for the coming year. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face!

2. More options
Is that fanatical gamer tired of the Xbox or Playstation? Surprise him or her with another fun game option. Consider, for example, a Wii:on which you can play actively (and interactively) together. It's just something different, and yet a lot of fun.

3. Accessories
There are only enough games where the right accessories play a huge role. For example, a racing game becomes a lot more interesting when you have an actual steering wheel in your hands instead of a controller. Of course you know better than anyone what that fanatic gamer loves, and therefore you immediately know which accessories are most suitable.

4. Out of the box
Do you want to make the gamer happy, but does he or she have everything the heart desires? Then think out of the box and look for fun items that make gaming even more enjoyable. Some super comfortable pillows, for example, a warm fleece blanket, or a handy wooden cutting board on which all snacks and drinks can be put while gaming.

5. A special corner
What you can probably make the avid gamer even happier with is your own 'game terrain'. Whether this is an entire room, or a corner in the living room; as long as it is a place that is fully equipped for gaming. All necessities within reach, and maybe even a special (super luxurious) gaming chair to completely relax.

6. The newest game
Do you just really don't know what to buy? Then just look for the latest variants of his or her favorite games. New games come out every few months, and there will probably be a game that makes him or her really happy.
