Again, this is the season for shopping for the people you know. Things that they will cherish, love and consider in their hearts forever. Or, like, a cool t-shirt is probably fine too.
Below is a series of suggestions categorized into convenient budget categories of $ 25 or less, $ 50 or so, and $ 100 or more. We also start with some of our favorites, regardless of the price, and end with some neat table games and music recommendations. Pro tip: Go to the Music section, launch a built-in Bandcamp link, then go back to have your scroll well accompanied.
These are all items that we can personally guarantee because we own them, or gifts that we would be happy to give or receive ourselves. Some are directly related to PC gaming, while others have a looser connection: practical, like super comfy pants to wear when working from home, or tasty, like a holiday ice cream collection.
Before we move on to gift ideas, a note for those of you looking to buy the special PC gamer in your life a new VR headset, chair, laptop, or even a full PC: our PC Black gaming deals. Fridays are where you can find our constantly updated picks on gear this week.
Without further ado, the freebies!
