Buying for a gamer

The easiest mistake is buying the wrong platform or the wrong generation of a controller. Look at the shelf, the headset and the screen before you commit to hardware.

A personal game sidesteps compatibility because it runs in a browser.

Buying for your crush

When you are not yet together, humour and thoughtfulness beat grand gestures. A small gift tied to something they mentioned shows you listened.

Make it easy for them to say thank you without having to say more.

If you want to say sorry today

Do not wait for the perfect gift. Game store cards, game subscriptions and a personalized game arrive fast, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment. Whatever you send, say the specific thing you are sorry for.

Avoid grand gestures that put pressure on them to forgive. Small, quiet and specific works best.
