Lego Minecraft Skull Arena

Looking for a non-video game item that your youngster will love? Try Lego’s Skull Arena from Minecraft. After the arena is built, they can battle it out for the golden apple, flee from the killer rabbit, and target practice with the slime shooter!

Controller Skins

Help your gamer stand out with a unique controller skin! From their favorite color to TV shows (like this Naruto themed PS5 skin), there are so many options to choose from. If you’re looking for a personal gift, try getting a skin that reminds you of them.

Nintendo Switch Membership

Why settle for one game when you can have all the Nintendo games? That’s right! Nintendo now offers special memberships for individuals and families. For $40 for one person or $80 for an entire family, they’ll get a year’s access to a massive library of video games, including retro SEGA Genesis games, popular releases like Mario Kart and Animal Crossing, and classic Nintendo 64 games like Star Fox 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Nintendo Labo

Combine crafts and video games for a one-of-a-kind present! Allow your kiddo to express creativity while playing their favorite Nintendo Switch games. Start with a piece of cardboard and build yourself one of five different Toy-Con projects, such as a 13-key piano, a fishing pole, or even a motorbike. Add your Nintendo Switch console to power it up, and you can hold a recital, catch a fish, or win a race!
