Gamer Present(s)?

[Pulse]

I've got a cousin who is mad on all things gaming. I'd like to get him a present or two for Christmas, but the tough thing is that he has already bought most things!

Games would be too risky, and at the other end of the scale, PS+ or XBOX Live credit would be a bit easy. He already collects a number of things, like Amiibos, and Funko Pops (which I've already got one of for him), but... what do you get for someone who has already bought most things and you're not entirely sure what he may have?

Any suggestions for something up to £20 would be good.

What platform/ console does he play?

Gift card from GAME maybe?

Does he have a favourite/well liked game that you know of? I've received a few 'Artwork of...' or 'Making of...' books and liked them, ie

or

Their age might be helpful - guessing 12-16?

I'd avoid GAME vouchers as their prices are a bit of a rip off, if you have a local CEX they might be a better shout.

Do they just have Nintendo? Or all three console?

Only if the CEX is better than our local one. I've very very rarely seen anything used in there that I can't buy new at the same price or less from Amazon.

Amazon is always the cheapest, but CEX usually beats GAME.

All! He has a 3DS, Wii U, XBOX One, PS4, gaming PC... the works!

Good point. It's a good guess, based on what I've said so far! He's 30 though.

Either I was going to be bang on or he needs to grow up!

Maybe go with the suggestion of the book about a game he loves as above.

Lego dimensions kit? Though they may have it already... new controller/headset would be a good shout. Artwork of his favourite gaming character? Some ideas here: http://kotaku.com/where-to-buy-great-video-game-ar...

How about a poster from one of his favourite titles, in a decent frame?

Artwork, making of book etc is usually a decent shout if they have a few core games.
