Alternative Xmas List for Gamers in 2022 – Ask Santa  

As gamers we normally know what we want right, games, games and more games or the next greatest thing to play our games with or on. 

So let’s skip we recommend an Xbox Series x or s, PS5 or the Nintendo Switch OLED. Yes, they are all incredible systems to own and wish for Xmas, but you already know that right and it’s already on your list if you truly want one. 

So let’s look at games,  that would be the next choice, right? Like God of War Ragnarok, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Sonic Frontiers or the new single-player horror survival game The Callisto protocol etc, but again we already know what we fancy for Xmas and we have those games on our lists already. 

So I am going to provide a list of gamer-related products that you might want to grab for Xmas instead. 

So to start I am going to recommend energy, like Sneak Energy Drinks that come in a powder form or you can purchase fizzy cans full of bubbly goodness. If you don’t have time to drink, you might want to try out  MADMONQ energy supplement pills. I have used both of them and find Sneak Energy Drinks great for that extra bit of get up and go without any side effects after the same goes for the MADMONQ energy supplement pills. 

Next up is something for your phone or Nintendo Switch to store all your amazing games on and that’s simply a MicroSD memory card from SanDisk or any other brand I guess, I just prefer these. I have used this brand along with other brands and I  find these to be the best for my Nintendo Switch when it comes to speed and design. I also believe they are officially endorsed by Nintendo as they do Include Nintendo Designs. 

You might also need storage for your gaming system lookout for something from seagate that can hold up to 12GB of game storage. Now, these drives will not allow you to play next-gen games from them, from the likes of the Series X/S and PS5 but you can download and store your games on them instead. Now these drives will allow you to play, older games on them from the likes of Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4 and PS3 etc.

Next up for all your gamers that love your pc. Let’s give you my choices for a keyboard, mouse and headset. 

Let’s start with headsets, now you could choose Hyper X, like the Hyper X Cloud 2 which is an amazing headset and you can find it below £50 now. You might also wish to check out SteelSeries’ latest Arctis range of headsets, I have not checked them out personally, but based off the arctis 7 they should be amazing.  

Go high-end with the Audeze range of gaming headsets. These are by far amazing but also come at a premium, though you do pay for what you pay for, simply amazing. The next brand I would recommend is EPOS, the gaming brand behind Sennheiser, these headsets again are great and you can get them as low as £149 I would say they are well worth it. However my passion comes from loving Razer and anything off them with RGB lighting, but should I be recommending it based on my love for them maybe? but I’ll let you decide. 

Keyboards next, and it will be simple as I primarily use the Razer Huntsman and the ultimate Razer Blackwidow, there is also the Apex range from SteelSeries. All are worth it and highly recommended by me. 

Mice Now, there is only one I like, use and have used for year the Razer Naga Trinity. With interchangeable side plates for 2, 7 and 12-button configurations, transmute your mouse to suit your gameplay. Each button is designed to stand out so you’ll never misclick, providing tactile and audible feedback so you’ll be assured of every actuation. This is the mouse I recommend over everything else. 

Now for something different, ever thought about Xmas jumpers, I love them. Yes, I stand out like a sour thumb but that are great. Numskull has a great range to dig into, Inc Spiderman, halo, Xbox, PlayStation and many more. 

Also don’t forget collectables from the likes of CDRED, Ubisoft and many other companies that sell unique figures which you can show off in your room. I love collecting Ubisoft Assassin’s Creed figures and I even have a glass case to show them off in, still not up to date but I do love them. 

Finally, something to dig into when you need a bit of me time, Skyrim: 10th Anniversary | 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle, this will take you some time to complete and once com-plate you can either frame it or do it all over again, a good fun item to fill those hours or me time.
