This Christmas see’s an abundance of gift ideas for the gamer in the family.

Gametraders are really excited to announce the Top Ten gaming ideas for Christmas.

“This year we have observed the emergence of gaming collectables and paraphernalia as really high on peoples lists,” said Mr Rob Jenkins, National Marketing Manager Gametraders.

Games:

Black Ops II is a must have for fans of the series – bigger and better!

Halo 4 – also a must have for Xbox 360 gamers

Zombie U on the new Wii U console – seems zombies are big at the moment

Collectables – Dr Who items are hugely popular as are figurines of game characters and pop culture icons.

Socks – yes socks that come in super hero and gaming varieties. Gametraders has Batman and Superman socks with capes.

Wallets, key rings, belt buckles and caps – all make great stocking stuffers and must be super hero or gaming related so that gamers can fly the flag of their favourite hero!

Anime – with summer holidays around the corner and hot days coming, sometimes the best place is indoors with the air conditioning and a new release anime title.  Check out Bleach Collection 15, Dragon Ball Z Kai and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood as well as Toradora and Dream Eater Merry.

Latex replica’s from The Hobbit is also popular with the movie out on Boxing Day.

Ear buds and headphones all branded with DC Comic heroes are affordable stocking stuffers as are game and hero branded USB drives.

Mario is still popular and stores sell figurines and plush toys – Yoshi is still a big favourite with kids.

Finally there’s the new Wii U – a great family gift idea that comes with hi definition graphics capable of 1080p and the unique tablet controller. This is the gift that kids and just about any gamer wants to have sitting under the tree.
