Accessories
Gaming can be an expensive hobby. And the closer we get to the holidays often means sales and specials, including accessories that can make you or a loved one’s gaming more dynamic and enjoyable. Plus, you can never have too many controllers.

PlayStation DualSense controllers are also on sale on Amazon at a 26% markdown. You can also pick up a wireless Xbox controller, available in multiple colors at Amazon for as much as a 42% markdown.
Collectibles
Physical collectibles are a surefire way to show that nerd in your life that you paid some attention during one of their many hyper fixation dumps about their current favorite thing.
The first is a special nod to all of you lovely Bloodborne fans hoping someday your sequel…or reboot…will come. And while it’s neither, it is something you can enjoy over a decade since the game’s release, three different editions of the Bloodborne soundtrack on vinyl. This IS a preorder, so you may need to put an IOU in someone’s stocking.
Magic the Gathering has decks built for every fandom. Save 36% on this beautiful Final Fantasy XIV Scions & Spellcraft Commander deck or 44% on a Final Fantasy VI Revival Trance Commander deck. Or, a personal favorite, the Fallout Commander deck featuring the ever adorable Dogmeat for on a nice 16% markdown. We also have an in-depth MTG Avatar: The Last Airbender gift guide to check out.
With the announcement of the new DLC for Diablo IV coming in spring of 2026, why not get the Diablo fan in your life an action figure of the iconic villain Lilith? It’s only 8% off at Amazon, but it’s hard to deny how cool it is. Or save 53% on purchasing Numbskull’s beautiful rendition of Thorn, the gun wielded by Drifter in the newest Destiny 2 DLC.
I hope your shopping is easy, your holiday merry, and the end of 2025 to be full of peace and joy.
