Okay, so finding a cool gift for the gamer in my life without spending a ton of money is always a challenge, right? Everything seems so expensive these days! But you don’t need to break the bank to get them something awesome. I was checking out TopMob, and they’ve put together a great list of gifts that are actually fun and useful – and the best part is, everything is under $25! It’s really nice to find options that feel thoughtful without being super pricey.
Finding the perfect gift doesn’t have to be expensive! These suggestions show you can give something truly appreciated without breaking the bank. Often, it’s the little things – like a useful phone stand, a convenient charging dock, or a fun retro game – that people love the most. For gamers and fans of gaming, books, card games, and unique collectibles can be just as special as the latest tech.
Here’s a collection of gifts that cost $25 or less, so you can stay within your budget while still giving a useful present. Let’s explore the best affordable gaming gifts for 2025.
Best Gaming Gifts Under $25
1985 Games Mystery Dice
I’m always looking for cool ways to spice up my D&D games, and I just found these mystery dice sets! Basically, instead of picking which dice to use, you get a random set of seven, which is a fun little surprise before game night. It’s a neat way to add some extra excitement and unpredictability to our campaigns.
FYOUNG Nintendo Switch/Switch 2 Controller Charging Dock
Okay, so as a gamer, I hate when my controllers die mid-game, and it’s especially annoying with the Switch. Usually, you can only charge controllers while they’re attached to the console itself, which is a pain if you have extra Joy-Cons. This charging dock solves that problem! It lets me keep up to four Joy-Cons topped up and ready to go, and it works with both the original Switch and the newer Switch 2 controllers, which is awesome.
AZURAOKEY Carrying Case
The ASUS ROG Ally and Ally X are significant investments, so it’s smart to protect them. A carrying case is a great way to do that, and one with extra compartments for chargers, memory cards, and other accessories is even better.
SOUNDANCE Laptop Stand
This laptop stand helps free up desk space and raises your screen to a more comfortable viewing height. It’s designed to work with laptops between 12 and 17.3 inches in size.
Press Reset by Jason Schrier
From Jason Schreier himself:
“Press Reset” offers an inside look at the video game industry, revealing both its glamour and its hidden challenges. Through interviews with people who worked on popular games like BioShock Infinite, Epic Mickey, and Dead Space, the book explores the impact of studio closures on developers – detailing how they cope with setbacks, rebuild their careers, or leave the industry altogether.
8Bitdo M30 Bluetooth Controller
Looking for an affordable way to enjoy classic Sega games – or any games, really? The M30 Bluetooth Controller is built to feel like the original six-button Sega Genesis controller. It’s compatible with Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, Windows computers, and mobile devices.
8BitDo Wireless USB Adapter 2
Looking for a way to connect any Bluetooth controller to your favorite devices? This wireless USB adapter lets you easily pair your controllers with your Switch 2, Switch, PC, Steam Deck, and other compatible devices.
8Bitdo Bluetooth Retro Receiver
If the person you’re shopping for still enjoys playing their original PlayStation or PlayStation 2, a wireless controller could be a great gift. The 8Bitdo Bluetooth Retro Receiver lets them use modern controllers – like those for Xbox, PlayStation 4 & 5, Wii U, and Switch – wirelessly with their PS1 or PS2. Think about the freedom of playing from over ten feet away from the TV!
UNO: The Legend of Zelda Card Game
UNO is a fantastic game, and The Legend of Zelda is a beloved series. Now, imagine combining the two! This special UNO version features artwork from The Legend of Zelda. It even includes a unique Triforce Card – when played, the next player has to draw three extra cards. It’s a playful nod to the iconic Triforce!
JSAUX Docking Station
Handheld gaming PCs like the Ally X, Steam Deck, and Legion Go are fantastic, but sometimes you’ll want to play on a bigger screen. This docking station—currently being used by our Senior Editor, Mike Straw—lets you connect your device to a larger display with HDMI 2.1. It also includes connections for two USB-A devices, an ethernet cable, and a 100W USB-C charger to keep your handheld powered while you play.
Banjo-Kazooie Mobile Phone & Controller Holder
This 8.5-inch Banjo-Kazooie figure, made of PVC plastic, is a handy place to keep your phone, controller, or other small gadgets when you’re not using them.
The Oregon Trail Card Game
Okay, so I’m looking for a gift for a millennial, and I just stumbled across this hilarious card game – The Oregon Trail! It’s basically a way to let us relive the trauma of our childhood computer game, but now with cards! You and up to five friends try to survive the journey from Missouri to Oregon, and honestly, the goal is just to not die of dysentery or anything else along the way. The art style is that cool retro 8-bit look we all love, so it’s a perfect nostalgic gift.
