GIFT IDEAS FOR YOUR GAMER GIRLFRIEND

December 10, 2008

PORTAL MAGNETS- $13.50

I don’t know about you but I get a kick out of seeing creative magnets. So much so, I collect them. Usually just when I travel. That’s about the only thing I collect though so don’t think I am some geek who collects coins and stamps as well. OK, now you’re going to think that anyway because I said that.. *sigh* Forget it, just take a look at these magnets, I think they’re pretty cool and my girlfriend does too. Your gamer girlfriend just might like these as well, especially if she is a fan of Portal.

My Gamer girlfriend’s comment: Give a magnet for every achievement your gamer girl unlocks from Portal to remind her how awesome it is to have a girlfriend that is as good at gaming as you are.

PWN STAR T-SHIRT– $20

Ahem.. uhh.. it’s quite obvious why this would make it on my list of gifts for your gamer girlfriend. Do I really need to say anything? It pretty much speaks for itself and it’s spoken in the language of awesome.

My Gamer girlfriend’s comment: J!NX makes the perfect tee for the girl that’s hot and can pwn you at any game!

DS LITE CARRYING CASE- $18.50

Do you have a gamer girlfriend who takes her DS lite with her everywhere she goes? This pink DS Lite case comes with a Alice in Wonderland theme. Which makes me wonder.. did Alice in Wonderland ever become a video game? Hold on, let me check. hahaha, holy shit I just Googled it and it’s already been done. It was made for the GameBoy Color back in 2000. Just when I thought I finally had thought of a game that would never be made!

My Gamer girlfriend’s comment: This has to be the cutest way for your girl to carry around her DS Lite! Smile Recipe makes them in tons of fun fabrics so if this one sells out you’re sure to find another one that suits your gamer girl!

SURVIVAL HORROR CAPPA CUPS – $70

Has your girlfriend played any survival horror games recently? Does she creep herself out by playing these games in the dark? It would be a lot more entertaining for you to see her play this game after a couple of cups of cappuccinos. If you’ve got some extra cash and a girlfriend that absolutely must get her caffeine fix on.. at least make her drink from cups that are interesting to look at.

My Gamer girlfriend’s comment: These 5.5oz espresso cups by Circa Ceramics depict all the essentials of surviving a horror shooter; including a health kit, a flashlight, and a knife. Perfect for the girl who can make it through a survival horror game but can’t survive with out her espresso!

FUZZY COMPANION CUBES – $29.95

Once again for The Orange Box/Portal fans, here is an awesome gift. Probably one of my favorites. But if your girlfriend is a bad driver already, you might want to think twice about these two companion cubes swinging around in the car. It may be too distracting or even illegal in some states. I’m sure she can find another place to hang them though. Just be creative!

My Gamer girlfriend’s comment: What’s cuter than a companion cube? Why, two companions cubes of course! The Valve store is offering these adorable plush companion cubes which are perfect to have hanging from your rear view mirror.. and yea, as long as it’s legal. Otherwise, she can hang it up somewhere at her work or school.
