Buying for a gamer
Gamers are particular about platforms and peripherals, so check what she plays on before buying hardware. Store cards, subscriptions and desk upgrades are safer than a console or a pad you guess at.
A game made about her is the one gift she cannot buy for herself.
Buying for your sister
Gifts for a sister can be playful and affectionate. Choose something she would use and something that makes her laugh.
Add a note that mentions a memory.
If you are shopping at the last minute
New Year gifts can be small and still feel considered. Class vouchers and a personalized game arrive fast, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment.
Keep it light. After the holidays a small, thoughtful gift is more welcome than a large one.
