test Need a last minute gift for the gamer in your life? We've got you covered. Bim and Tim's last stream of the year covered some awesome gift ideas for the gamers, game devs and generally-into-computer people you might've drawn a blank on this Christmas and here are our top 5 ideas!
Procrastination, distraction, lack of focus… These are things we all suffer with, and these little desk devices are leading the charge for our time back! No more fiddling about with your phone, getting distracted by apps and notifications. Just flip a timer cube to the side with your desired session length and boom! Off you go! They’re the perfect partner for a pomodoro master.
Many of us computer nerds stay up well into the night gaming, coding, binging YouTube and whatever else our minds can seek out for us to do, but little do we know how strained our eyes become staring for hours at a bright screen with darkness surrounding it. Here’s where monitor lights come in! Nifty LED lights that span the width of your monitor that can be customised to your hearts content with a bluetooth controller. Perfect for setting that ambient lighting whilst keeping our eyes nice and healthy.
Whether we’re gaming, creating or just chilling, we all need a good sound system in our lives, and these headphones are our top choice for comfort, flexibility, quality and practicality. They work with Xbox, PC, Playstation, Switch and Mobile devices making them an ideal choice for a brand new quality headset this Christmas.
Want to play games on the go and tired of the same old hypercasual mobile games? The Steam Deck is just the thing for you! A personal favourite of and highly-recommended by Tim Ruswick himself, a Steam Deck is a brilliant, powerful and practical tool, perfect for games on the go. It can also be used as a desktop, where you can create to your hearts content! With three versions available at different prices, it’s well worth the investment!
Do you know what someone likes, but aren’t sure about specifics? Not a worry. Gift cards are one of the best ways to balance flexibility with intention. They show you care and listen, but also grant people the flexibility to choose their own gifts. A true win-win! You can buy gift cards for almost anything; from digital currencies to item-specifics, they’re perfect for those wanting to gift flexibility this Christmas.
