Stocking Stuffers for Gamers

By Courtney Marchelletta, About.com

Stocking stuffers don't have to be boring and limited to the usual new toothbrush and toothpaste. Inexpensive games or small gaming related items are sure to light up the eyes of your favorite gamer.

1. The Sims Cash Card

An online store filled with official "The Sims 2" objects could only be purchased by using a credit card. Now The Sims Cash Card can be bought for $10 at Wal-mart and 7-11 stores. It's perfect for those "The Sims 2" fans that already have all the expansion packs.

2. Gaming Magazine Subscription

Buy a subscription to a gaming magazine and put the receipt and the latest issue in the stocking. It's a gift that reminds the precipitant you are thinking about them all year long!

3. Games Under $20

PC games do not have to be expensive to be fun. Once the hype dies down, the price on games usually come down too. There are plenty of quality games with hours of enjoyment.

4. Gift Card to Favorite Gaming Store

Don't know what games they have or want? Get them a gift certificate to their local (or favorite online) gaming store. EB Games, GameStop, or Amazon.com are popular choices.

5. Mouse

Gaming mice offer precision that a regular mouse just doesn't have. If you really want to treat your gamer, buy a wireless mouse. A wireless mouse is a real treat for anyone who spends many hours at a computer.
