Dungeons & Cats T-Shirt
Dungeons & Dragons is its own unique phenomenon but its premises and RPG roots have been winding through video games for generations. Even if a gamer doesn’t play Dungeons & Dragons themselves, they’ll likely recognize some of the characters, weapons, magical spells, locations, and other mechanics as many of them have been used in popular video games over the years. One good example are the many classes that characters can choose from when developing their Dungeons & Dragons character.
Bards, Barbarians, Archers, and Mages are just some of the recognizable characters found throughout both Dungeons & Dragons and traditional RPG video games. This adorable Dungeons & Dragons-themed shirt featuring cute cat characters is perfect for any gamer that likes RPGs (or just cats) in general.

Those looking for a sleek alarm clock with some great gaming flair need look no further than this awesome PS5 Controller-inspired Alarm Clock from Paladone. This officially licensed Sony Playstation gear has pushable buttons that help program the time and any relevant alarms and comes with a bright digital display in the middle of the controller. It can display the date and time and sits perfectly on a desk or side table thanks to its sturdy stand.

TushGuard Seat Cushion
There are a lot of great gaming chairs out there but some of them are much more padded and comfortable than others. Beloved chairs can wear out over time and the cushions can flatten out, causing discomfort for those that are sitting at a desk or using a gaming chair to play console in front of a TV. That’s why this TushGuard Seat Cushion can be such a useful and thoughtful gift for those that spend a lot of their downtime gaming.
It offers great support, can help correct pain in the tailbone and Sciatica, and can even help improve posture thanks to its unique design.
Insert Coin Retro Arcade Poster
Arcades are somewhat niche now, compared to the early days of gaming. In the late 90s and early 2000s, arcades were commonplace in most towns and cities, offering a place for gamers to hang out and spend their pocket change on a variety of flashy-looking arcade cabinets.
This Insert Coin Retro Arcade Poster is a great callback to the arcades of yesteryear and is printed on a durable metal that is lightweight enough to hang with stickpins. It even features four precut holes at each of the corners to easily hang and level it on any applicable wall. It’s decently sized too at 8 inches by 12 inches.
Under Desk Headphone Hanger With Power Outlets
There are a lot of great headphone stands out there but few of them are as useful and robust as this offering from Alacoo. It offers two headphone hangers, perched below a set of two-prong AC outlets and multiple 5V 2.4A USB-style ports. Its a great way to effortlessly feed power to the underside of a desk, giving gamers the perfect place to plug in their phone, controller, headphones, or any other device that may need to be charged.
The Alacoo stand can be mounted underneath the desk and even has handy clips that will help players keep clean cord management as they run the cable to an appropriate wall outlet.
Ultra Plush Controller Blanket
Gamers get cold too, especially during the chilly winter months. This gaming controller-themed blanket is the perfect plush item to warm them up no matter where they’re playing. It’s made from a polyester coral fleece and features a sleek black, white, and green color scheme that features an array of various video game controllers speckled across its 50-inch by 60-inch of material. It’s a great size and should offer solid warmth without being too overwhelming.
Smart LED Light Bars
These are perfect for the gamer looking to add a little light and life to their gaming setup. They can be placed horizontally or vertically on the included stands. They can even be mounted on walls, making them the perfect multipurpose light bars to add a splash of color to any space. They work well to create backlighting for both televisions and PC monitors and they can be easily controlled and customized via a handy phone application.
USB Hub With Optional Headphone Stand
USB Hubs come in all shapes and sizes but this offering from Atolla gives players supreme control by providing an array of USB ports, as well as plugins for wired (and wireless) headsets. With ports on every side, players can set this hub practically anywhere on or near their setup to provide even more USB power and connectors. It also includes an add-on bracket that can turn the device into a sleek headphone stand.
Players can even attach the hub to their PC to create both a spot for USB connections and a controller for their headphone or sound device. By plugging the headset into the front of the hub, players can control their microphone and sound with the push of a button.
