Christmas Gifts for Girl Gamers That Are Not Pink

Updated October 28, 2024

The holidays are fast approaching, people! I know this can be a stressful time and that none of us want to be caught running to CVS or Walmart to buy a last minute gift of a frying pan and a bag of chips. I myself have been a victim of that last-minute purchase, and the reason? “I didn’t know what to get you.”

The last couple of holiday seasons I’ve received either something non-nerdy (how boring) or a t-shirt with a cute nerdy slogan on it. Don’t get me wrong, I do appreciate the heck out of a good t-shirt, but man, I have enough shirts! This holiday, consider custom neon signs or this list of gift ideas that will hopefully help some people narrow down what exactly they want for Christmas.

If your friend or family member loves anime style, they’ll adore this Inuyasha satchel. It’s the perfect blend of cute and practical, with enough room for daily essentials. The adjustable strap makes it versatile for any occasion, and the classic Japanese wave pattern adds an extra touch of character.

Have you ever dreamed of creating a unique and ultimately destructive group of unicorn friends? Well, how about getting to create a stable of catastrophic unicorns and pinning them against your “friends” herd of cuddly non-threatening horned horses? Listed as one of Kickstarter's most backed projects of all time, this card game is sure to destroy friendships and make the holiday season much more tense.

It’s easy to see where our most famous superheroes get their start, whether it's seeing your parents die or coming from a completely different planet. Less obvious are these weird (and often forgettable) supervillains who opposed some of our most beloved superheroes. Comic book fans will get a kick out of this unique collection from Jon Morris. In Jon Morris’ The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains, he details the backstories of the bizarre and shows comic book excerpts of the regrettable in action.

This wireless phone charging mouse pad is one of those things you don’t realize you need until you have it; you’ll wonder why you ever had your phone just sitting beside your mousepad, being lame and uncharged. Give your tech-loving friend a smart upgrade with this wireless charging desk pad. It’s one of those gadgets they’ll wonder how they ever lived without. With fast charging, they can keep their phone powered up right next to their mouse while gaming or working. It’s practical, functional, and just a touch futuristic.

Whether you’re just redecorating your home or have just purchased a new home, these arcade light switch covers will make any room your personal arcade. They come in a variety of different color combinations so you can make sure they match your wall color… or your favorite video game.

Tired of your gamer buddy or significant other losing their cool and calling you out on pushing your lane too far or missing an easy killshot? Well get your revenge in the form of a nice and caring present! This joke gift is perfect for the easily enraged!

For the true audiophile or busy commuter, the Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones are unbeatable. They deliver high-quality sound with active noise cancellation, perfect for getting lost in music, podcasts, or games.

This holiday season, skip the last-minute rush and grab a gift that matches your friend’s passion and style. These options give a personal touch that’ll make anyone feel special. Whether they’re ready to rock some anime flair, build a unicorn army, or enjoy some peace with quality headphones, there’s something here for everyone. Happy gifting!
