If you\u2019re not into video gaming, getting gifts for someone who really likes video games can be a little intimidating. But fear not\u2014the best video game gift is almost never the perfect game, it’s something that’ll make their games better. With that in mind, we have some suggestions (and yes, a few games too).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gaming Consoles
\n<\/strong>The most important part of a gamer’s setup is the game console itself. While some games work with multiple consoles, some are exclusively tied to one. Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft continue to make the three big consoles, and each has a solid offering this year. These are the consoles to consider.<\/p>\n

Nintendo Switch \u2013 Neon Red and Neon Blue Joy-Con
\n<\/strong>The blue-and-red Nintendo Switch<\/a> is the perfect device for playing games on the go. Not only does it easily dock to your television, there are lots of great new games on it, such as Super Mario Odyssey<\/em> and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/em>. For those who are looking for something really versatile and social, it\u2019s a perfect device.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a>
\nXbox One X S
\n<\/strong>This is a smaller version of the original Xbox One<\/a>. This beauty can play all titles from the Xbox One’s library at up to 1080P with HDR support. It has 1TB of internal storage, and includes one wireless controller. Your gamer will enjoy NBA 2K19<\/em> right out of the box as well. It can also output 4K video from supported streaming services like Netflix.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nPlayStation 4 Slim
\n<\/strong>Sony’s PlayStation 4 Slim<\/a> is a smaller version of the PlayStation 4. It can play all titles from the PlayStation 4’s library at up to 1080P, has 1TB of internal storage, and includes one controller. Your gamer will also have access to Playstation Vue.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nGames
\n<\/strong>Picking up some games<\/a> from Buydig.com is probably a good idea as well. Thankfully, there’s no shortage of great, relatively new ones to choose from. As with any type of art, taste in video games is always going to be subjective, but here’s<\/a> a handful that\u2019s suitable for most people.<\/p>\n

Non-Game Gift Ideas for the Video Gamer
\n<\/strong>If you’d rather steer clear of the games themselves, you can also buy accessories for your gamer’s system.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Controllers
\n<\/strong>\u00a0Extra controllers<\/a> are a great choice for any game console. For example, if your gamer has a Nintendo Switch, he or she could use another set of controllers to play four-person games like Mario Kart 8<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Headset
\n<\/strong>A lot of games are played online cooperatively, which means a headset with a microphone<\/a> is essential, especially if your gamer lives with other people. These online sessions can get quite energetic and loud.<\/p>\n

Mouse
\n<\/strong>The only thing a true PC gamer hates more than console gamers is a bad mouse. These\u00a0gaming mouses<\/a> from Buydig.com has six customizable buttons and software to control the lights, but it also just looks like a regular mouse. Only the brave shall endeavor to brag about the custom lights on their mouse.<\/p>\n

No more struggling to find the perfect gift for the gamer on your list this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
