Alright so most of us gamers have certainly gotten the 19.99 walmart box special from the relatives before, it’s that game that everyone had two years ago or has no interest at all in.

The question then becomes after i return this what should I buy, first and foremost buy groceries like red bull and pizza. But if your good on all that stuff here are some recommendations:

1. Play and charge kits- gotta have for anyone who games over thirty minutes a day.

2. New dvd or blu-ray, expand your media library beside games and grab a new flick

3. Interior decoration: movie posters, new pillows or a sick looking book shelf from Ikea are a good idea to spiff up the bachelor pad

4. Air freshners- need I say more?

5. Used games from amazon or local store

With the holidays right around the corner many people have to shop for the gamer in their family or circle of friends, but what to get them that will surprise and make them excited?

Here are three gifts that will please any gamer:

1. Xbox Live Subscription/points , Wii points or Playstation Network Card

Every gamer needs to stay online and well supplied with extra content or mini games. With many users watching video rentals and downloading extra content there is no easier way to allow your gamer to find what they like without the whole “gift card” giving fiasco.

2. Controllers and Remotes

New controllers for a console gamer are important as well as batteries for them. A DVD or Blu-ray remote for Xbox and Playstation consoles offers the gamer a new toy to use. Racing gamers also love steering wheels for their games.

3. Gamer Lifestyle Gifts

If your not really sure what accesories and game library the gamer has have no fear!

Almost all gamers need some of the following:

  • Energy drink of choice (red bull, monster etc.)
  • Batteries or battery packs
  • Theater candy boxes
  • New DVD or Blu-Ray movies
  • Screen Cloth and cleaner

Many gamers use wireless internet so upgrading their router to a new router will help with not only gaming but their other media use including laptops, printers, streaming video and digital cameras. I would recommend one of the following:

1. DLink 655 Wireless N router:  http://amzn.to/gX8GPE
