Best Gaming Gifts 2021

The holiday season is right around the corner and in 2021 it’s safe to say that everyone has at least one gamer on their shopping list. Every year more new and exciting technology is released to improve you or your loved one’s gaming experience. Today, we will take a look at some of the best gaming gifts of 2021 that you can put under the tree for the gamer in your life.

Best Gaming Gift Under $100

It does not matter if the gamer in your life plays on a last-generation console or a $5,000 custom PC, all gamers need a quality headset. If you’re looking for a great gaming headset that ticks all the boxes and doesn’t break the bank, look no further than the Corsair VOID RGB ELITE Gaming. 

The VOID RGB ELITE clocks in at $99.99 and is top-notch hardware by anyone’s standards. This headset is equipped with custom-tuned 50mm neodymium audio drivers, an omnidirectional microphone, and a 2.4GHz low latency wireless connection. Not to mention, it also comes with the all-coveted RGB lighting. You can pick up a set of Corsair VOID RGB at many locations, including Best Buy, Amazon, and Corsair’s own website.

Best Gaming Gift Under $500

For gamers looking to take immersion to its very limits, we have the Oculus Quest 2. The original Quest was considered the best virtual reality experience on the market. Now, the Quest 2 has managed to improve its reputation. The second iteration of Facebook’s Quest VR headset has an 1832 x 1920 resolution display per eye, two to three-hour battery life, and 128GB of storage all for just $299.

The Quest 2 has amassed a nice library of its own games like first-person shooters and fruit slashers. However, if you’re willing to be tethered to a computer, you can use the Quest 2 to play almost anything. The Oculus Quest 2 is guaranteed to put a smile on your gamer’s face this holiday season, which is why the Quest 2 is the best gaming gift under $500.

Best Gaming Gift Under $1,000

If you’re looking to spend around $1,000 on the gamer in your life this holiday season, the Lenovo Legion 5i gaming desktop is definitely the move. For just $949.99 you get an Intel i5-11400 CPU, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super, 8GB of memory, 256GB of SSD storage, and a 1TB hard drive. 

With the current graphics card shortage, this is an awesome deal considering that GTX 1660 Supers are going for around $500 if you try and buy them on their own. Also, at the moment, the Intel i5-11400 has been named the best budget gaming CPU by numerous YouTube channels such as LinusTechTips. This praise from the online community has caused the i5-11400 to go for premium like spoon engines a week before race wars. This deal for the Lenovo Legion 5i can be found at BestBuy.com or at your local Best Buy retailer. 

All in all, it doesn’t matter what your budget is. If you choose to pick up any of our best gaming gifts for the gamer in your life they’re sure to light up this holiday season.
