Throughout the week, it’s not uncommon to find me winding down with a video game at my fingertips. Lately, I’ve been banking hours of Fields of Mistria, but I’m often swapping between my phone, Nintendo Switch 2, and Steam. As a lifelong cozy gamer who usually sticks to platformers and puzzles (but loves watching horror game streamers on Twitch), I’ve gotten familiar with a ton of home and tech finds that make great companions for the gaming lifestyle. So, I’ve rounded up a handful of my favorite gifts for gamers, whether that’s you or someone you love.

(Pro tip: Many of these finds are on sale now for the holiday season, so snag them for less while you can!)
