The best gifts for video gamers on National Video Game Day will decorate their walls, furnish their living rooms, and stock their kitchens and bathrooms with playful household necessities.
Video game wall graphics
Video game wall graphics made from vinyl wall stickers will immerse your video gamer friend in the world of his or her favorite video game.
Check out the Nintendo wall graphics (in Donkey Kong, Super Mario Brothers, and new Super Mario Brothers) and (space) Invaders Surface/Wall graphics, or, to go really old school check out the Asteroids vinyl wall decal set.
Video game household accessories
Video game household accessories set the mood in the home of a dedicated gamer. Rather than leaving your friend to his or her own devices, cobbling Tetris furniture together from old refrigerator boxes and duct tape, why not invest in some Tetris-inspired Tetrad modular shelving units (via Walyou) or an Oi sofa (via re-nest).
And what better accent for a Tetris couch than a pillow cover decorated with iconic video game characters? Visit etsy for a Pacman pillow cover, a Space Invaders pillow cover, or, for fans of video gaming systems over individual games, an Atari pillowcase or an NES Controller pillowcase.
Smaller video game inspired home accessories that work well as gifts for video gamers might include a Space Invaders lamp shade or an Atari 2600 game cartridge clock or NES game cartridge clock. For the video gamer's office, check out the Atari 2600 USB flash drive.
Video game kitchen accessories
Help a gamer entertain company with video game coasters to keep unsightly water rings away and the Tetris ice cube tray and the Ice Invaders ice cube tray to make themed ice cubes of iconic video game characters and objects. And to protect a gamer's sensitive fingers when pulling hot trays of snacks out of the oven or microwave, only the Pac-Man Hothead oven mitt will do.
Why not go the extra mile and make the time a video gamer spends getting snacks in the kitchen more fun with the gift of a classic video game themed magnet toy? Now a video game fan can replicate on the side of his or her fridge the exciting experience of playing the video game.
Check out the selection of video game magnets at MagnetGames on Etsy, particularly the Tetris magnet set, the Pacman magnet set, the Donkey Kong magnet set, and the Mario magnet set. There's also a set of Tetrius puzzle game magnets.
Video game bathroom accessories
Another great gift for video gamers is video game bathroom accessories. Nintendo tissue box covers add a playful touch to bathroom décor, as do video game-themed soap, particularly when scented with Mountain Dew for that authentic gamer odor.
Try Pac Man Soap, Invaders from Space Soap, Bathtub Invaders from Space, Space Invaders soap set, the Tetris-inspired Bathtub Arcade soap set, or the Tetris soap set.
On the hardware side, check out the NES Original Nintendo Controller soap (in Mountain Dew scent) which is also available in an NES Two Player Controllers version, the Sega Genesis controller soap (also Mountain Dew-scented), an Xbox controller soap, the Sony PSP soap, the PlayStation Game Controller Soap, and even a Nintendo Wii remote soap.
Video game bags
Video game bags make a stylish present for the gamer on the go. Perhaps an Atari wallet fashioned from a genuine Atari 2600 game cartridge would work, or an NES Controller clutch purse, a Pacman clutch, or the unisex Space Invaders tote bag.
On National Video Game Day or any other special occasion in a gamer's life, video game themed gifts will make entertaining, decorative, and useful presents.
