Best gifts for her: What to get for the lady in your life

TwitterFacebook

Holiday gifting to a special lady usually goes one of two ways: 

1.You’ve been planning gifts all year and cannot handle keeping them a secret.

2. You push off gift shopping until the last minute and end up begging her friends for ideas.

If you’re in the latter camp, we get it — picking out the perfect gift to encapsulate how much she means to you can be a lot of pressure.

Obviously, you know that wowing her is a must — but what’s actually romantic is proving that you actually put thought into it.

You know the kind of look I’m talking about — a shirt with Mario on it, a pair of Sonic the Hedgehog shoes, an Overwatch hat, a mug that says something like “I’d rather be building additional pylons” on it. That kind of style is cool with a lot of people, but for some gamers that kind of overtly game-y merch is just too much.

This gift guide is for the sensible gamer, the kind that wants to display their appreciation of games but not be too obvious about it, and maybe even get a stylish without looking like a billboard. This is the gift guide for gamers who don’t want to loudly pronounce to the world that they’re gamers. Read more…

12 gift ideas for TV lovers who don’t need a 1,000th Funko Pop

TwitterFacebook

We get it, Kevin. You like watching TV. Now, get Ramsay Bolton off my desk.

In recent years, Funko Pop figurines have become the signature clutter of TV and movie fanatics everywhere. From tiny Tina Belchers to mini Marty McFlys, a diverse array of thousands of Funko Pop characters are available for purchase.
