For the gamer
A setup that respects time spent playing.
A real gamer doesn't play 'for now' — they've played for years. A chair that lasts 6 hours, headphones that isolate the neighbor, a tabletop game for the night with friends. Gifts for gamers aren't about the game of the month — they're about what sustains the practice.
This list focuses on items that survive hype cycles: ergonomic chairs, mechanical peripherals, collectibles that decorate the station. No new console (everyone has their preference).
