🎧 Headsets & Audio
Good sound = better gaming. My boys use headsets not just for the game audio but also to chat with friends. A good headset saves ME from hearing all the Fortnite yelling 😂.
This affordable headset has Great sound, comfy for long sessions, and the mic actually cancels background noise. Survived hours of gaming without breaking.
Beexcellent
Lightweight and reliable — this is a go-to starter headset. My boys like it because it plugs in easily and sounds crystal clear.
Turtle Beach Recon 70 Multiplatform Gaming Headset
The official PS5 headset. If your gamer is serious about sound quality, this one is next level. Works great for immersive games like Call of Duty or Spider-Man.

🎮 Controllers & Charging
Extra controllers = no more “Mom, can you charge this for me?” at 11 p.m. A charging dock also keeps things organized (aka fewer controllers lost under the couch).
An essential. If you have a PS4, you can never have too many of these — especially with kids who forget to charge them.
Dualshock 4
Hands-down one of the best investments. Keeps controllers charged and in one place instead of floating around the house.
Ps5 Controller Charger
The PS5’s main controller. More advanced, a little heavier, but worth it. My teen swears it makes his gaming smoother.

💡Setup & Vibes
The gaming setup is just as important as the game. These little extras make the area look cool, keep consoles running longer, and add some fun.
Cheap, fun, and makes the room feel like a “real” gamer setup. Plus they love showing off to friends on FaceTime.

More LED lights my boys are obsessed with. These truly make a room feel like a “real” gamer setup

If your gamer has a PS5, this helps it not overheat (which is a big deal with hours of play). Bonus: extra USB ports.
PS5/Slim/Pro Stand & Cooling Station w/ LED
⌨️ Extras for controllers, iPad / iPhone Gaming
Not every game happens on a console. My younger boys love Roblox and Minecraft on iPad/iPhone, so these extras help keep them comfy (and keep my phone free 😅).

Perfect for when they want to feel like “PC gamers” without spending thousands. Affordable and durable.
Logitech / Computer Keyboard & Mouse Combos
Keeps the iPad or iPhone propped up so they don’t drop it on their face in bed (yes, it happens). Also makes it easier for long Roblox sessions. Plus I LOVE this for my iPhone. I take it around the whole house when im cooking or washing my face. Very...
Tablet Stand Holder for Desk, Adjustable Desktop Tablet Holder
For when they’re gaming on iPad or iPhone and don’t want a giant headset. Also means I don’t have to listen to Roblox music on repeat 🙃.

🪑 Big Setup Upgrades
These are bigger investments, but if you want to surprise your gamer, these items make their setup feel “pro.”
Supportive, comfy, and makes them feel like streamers. Also keeps them from dragging my kitchen chairs into their rooms.

A good desk gives them a space that’s truly “theirs.” Optional, but worth it if they’re serious about gaming or doing homework in the same spot.
