Gaming is widely considered as a rather expensive hobby. And while that may be true to some extent, that doesn’t mean that you have to break the bank just to give your gamer buddy a gift. With that being said, here are a few gaming-centric gift ideas that are all under P 500!
Headphone holders
Headphones stands, in general, are inexpensive and you can get a basic one for less than P100. However, if you really want to impress your gamer buddy, then adding a few hundred pesos would really go a long way.
From New Bee Audio Store
In addition to being a headphone stand, the New Bee NB-Z4 also doubles as a wireless charger. Grab one at Lazada for P454. Now, if your buddy is not big on headphone stands or wireless charging, then this one might be a good alternative.
From Florera Flagship Store
It’s less conspicuous than a headphone stand and it expands the PC functionality with the addition of SD/MicroSD card readers and a trifecta of USB-A ports. Get one now at Lazada for P394.
Mouse bungee
From Gigaware Flagship Store
Mouse cords can get in the way of gameplay, especially for FPS gaming. This gift idea keeps pesky wires away, and also doubles as a USB hub and card reader. Snag one now at Lazada for P349.
Mouse pad
From RAZER Flagship Store
There are a lot of options to choose from when it comes to mouse pads. They can go as low as P15 and as high as P 4,000. For the purpose of this gift guide, we’ve picked out the best that are within our P500 budget.
PBT keycaps
From ELSZ Flagship Store
Since most gamers are using mechanical keyboards, PBT keycaps are always a cool and inexpensive gift that you can give them. However, it’s best that you first get a feel of what color or style your gamer buddy is into. It is also best that you know the model of the keyboard they are using because not all PBT keycaps are compatible with all keyboard brands and models. Check out these keycaps on Lazada.
Keyboard wrist rest
From Fantech Flagship Store
In addition to replacing keycaps, one of the ways that gamers boost their gaming keyboard setup is by adding a wrist rest to the mix. Since these accessories come in all shapes and sizes, it really just boils to your friend’s preference. Some prefer just a regular wrist rest like the Fantech Pilo. Other gamers like the feel of wood on their wrist like this ergonomic wooden wrist rest, while some prefer ones with quirky designs, like this cloud-inspired wrist rest or this cat-shaped one.
As cool as this gift guide is, there is nothing a gamer would love more than a fiber-fast Internet connection. Tell them about the PLDT Home Fiber Plus plans today, and let them experience the Philippines' undisputed fastest Internet for 5 years in a row, as recognized by Ookla.
