The Monday Musing - The best Christmas gifts for the mobile gamer in your life

By , on December 19, 2016

It’s Christmas. Well, it’s nearly Christmas. It sort of depends how you look at things. There’s definitely still time to get someone a Christmas present if that’s the sort of thing that you like doing with your time.

But what should you get the mobile gamer in your life? What gift could you possibly buy for someone who likes to spend all of their time with their nose buried in the likes of Clash of Clans?

Well, I don’t really know. But I’ve gone right ahead and put this list together anyway. There might be something on here that gamer would like. There might not be. Let’s get on with it and find out, yeah?

An iTunes gift card

You can’t really go wrong with this one. If the person’s got an iOS device and they like gaming, then getting them a gift card is basically an open goal.

You don’t have to choose anything specific for them, and they don’t have to awkwardly say thanks when you’ve got them something they don’t like.

A case

Nothing says personalisation like a case. And if there’s one thing that annoys a gamer it’s accidentally smashing their device to pieces before they’ve had a chance to complete a level.

So get a strong case that’ll make that expensive pocket computer unlikely to explode in a million extremely expensive pieces.

An MFi controller

They might not be the best controllers in the world, but you can probably pick one of them up pretty cheap nowadays, and they do come in handy, trust me.

Your best bet is to try and find one of the SteelSeries Stratus controllers. They’re brilliant, and an awful lot better than most of the other controllers out there.

Some decent headphones

Apple’s headphones are pretty good, but if you want to get the most out of the audio in your games then it’s a great idea to get some even better ones.

And if your little iOS gamer is the sort that likes things like Papa Sangre then they’re really going to appreciate getting a little more oomph in their ears.
