Match the gift to their game: Super Mario Guess Who for rivals, Dobble Animal Crossing for family game night, and the Healer cushion for Warcraft players.
Looking for Christmas gifts for gamers that aren't another video game? Pick something from the world they already love. These three gaming gifts work as stocking fillers for gamers or Secret Santa ideas, and none needs a console.
Super Mario Guess Who?: for Mario fans who want a rematch
Ideal for a parent and child, or rival siblings. Winning Moves Super Mario Guess Who? Board Game swaps the classic faces for 24 Nintendo characters, including Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Bowser and Donkey Kong, so you ask things like: are they wearing a crown, or do they have a shell?
The clever twist is the Championship game, where the first player to win five matches takes the title. Winning Moves rates it for ages 6 and up.
Dobble Animal Crossing: for cosy gamers and big family tables
Ideal for the Animal Crossing fan who has finally paid off Tom Nook. Asmodee · Dobble Animal Crossing · Family Card Game puts villagers such as Tom Nook, Isabelle and K.K. Slider on the cards, so every round is a race to spot a familiar villager.
It plays 2 to 8 people aged 4 and up in about 15 minutes, according to Asmodee UK, and its 55 cards and five ways to play come in a tin that slips into a stocking.
Healer gaming cushion: for the Warcraft support main
Ideal for the friend who always plays healer. Gaming Cushion - Healer - Red from Game Over has an Azeroth-inspired print, and Game Over sells it in red for Horde loyalists or blue for Alliance players, so you can pick their side.
It is a 56cm by 27cm memory-foam cushion with water-resistant, double-stitched fabric.
