From stocking stuffers to main events, I found the best gifts to give to your favorite PC gamer in 2025.
The holiday season is just around the corner, and that means that the clock is ticking when it comes to checking off your shopping list for another year. This time around, there's no need to stress. Whether you're looking for some affordable stocking stuffers, a pricier gaming display, or just about anything else in between, we have you covered.
Shopping for something under $50? You can't go wrong with the GameSir Nova Lite wireless controller or a new mouse mat from SteelSeries (seriously, they get worn out fast, and a new one is always appreciated).
Have a larger budget of around $100? You can land a great new gaming keyboard from HyperX, a new gaming headset from SteelSeries, or a new mouse from Logitech. And if you're going all out this year, your options expand to specialized gaming monitors, RGB docking stations, and more.
Why trust us? We spend countless hours testing, using, and reviewing PC gaming accessories, which allows us to keep close tabs on what's actually worth your money. That's helped us distill our gift guide down to 18 choices we're sure that PC gamers will love.
