He’ll be sure to appreciate your thoughtfulness, and you’ll both be able to enjoy some quality time together doing gamer things!

Gaming replicas, figurines, or life-sized cutouts

For the ultimate in unique and crazy gifts, you could get your gamer boyfriend a life-sized replica of his favorite video game character. This would be an impressive gift that is sure to make him smile. You could also get a life-size cutout that matches his gaming aesthetic so he can decorate his gaming space.

Here are some ideas for inspiration:

Personalized gaming chair for your gamer boyfriend (TOP LUXURY GIFT)

Every avid and passionate gamer out there dreams of having their own personalized gaming chair with their name emblazoned on it. This is the perfect way to add a splash of personal flair to any gaming setup! He can get comfy and make his gaming space feel comfy, and you get to show how much you care!

There are two places I recommend for ordering personalized gaming chairs online as valentines gifts:

1. LFG Your Chair – Your Way is a great option for customized gaming chairs.  Not only do they specialize in gaming equipment, but they offer a few more customization options besides a single logo.  This a great option if you’re looking to give a luxury gift with practical use. Explore options starting at $1,695 here.
2. DGCustomGraphics (Etsy Shop) – A more affordable option, albeit with fewer customizations, is a personalized embroidered gaming chair from DGCustomGraphics. You can explore some of their options here. Though the customizations are limited, the chairs are much more affordable.

If you want a wider selection of chairs and pricing options, it might be best to forego the personalization and look for a ready-made chair with a unique look. Shop the selection available on Amazon.

Skins and decals for a personalized gaming console

If your gamer boyfriend is a fan of a particular gaming console, help him personalize it with skins and decals! This would be a unique and thoughtful gift that would be appreciated every time the console is turned on.

Etsy is one of the best places to find unique skins for consoles.  You’ll want to do a search with a combination of terms like “Skins,” “decals,” or “stickers” AND “[Console Name]”

Here are some quick searches done for you:

• Console skin Xbox – Etsy
• Console skin playstation – Etsy
• Console skin switch – Etsy

A custom-made video game (MOST FUN)

Another unique and crazy idea would be to get your gamer boyfriend a custom-made video game.  Here’s a simple one for just $25 on Etsy, available to play as a mobile app or on the web (no console needed!) 

Gaming convention or esports tournament tickets

For the ultimate in unique and crazy gifts, you could take your gamer boyfriend on a trip to a gaming convention. This would allow him to meet other gamers, see the latest games and technology firsthand, or experience an esports competition live.  To accomplish this, search for esports events for a particular game he enjoys (Like Smite or Call of Duty)  or , or look up major conventions like Dreamhack, TwitchCon, or Game On Expo.

Custom character dice SET GIFT

Does your gamer guy love tabletop gaming? A unique dice set would be a great gift.

I love the simple sets Luffleberry makes. There are three steps to personalization with their process:

1. Describe the class, race, preferred colors/theme, and any other cool details that will help us pick your dice.
2. Pick a class design for the tag (see photos)
3. Character name or catchphrase for the tag (limit 20-25 characters)

It’s as simple as that! You’ll be creating a memorable valentines gift for your boyfriend/husband and supporting a creator’s small business!
