Most of us in the Northern Hemisphere spend the holidays indoors, but you can only watch so many TikToks about cute cats and cooking hacks before the need for something more substantial begins. However, choosing the right game or movie to gift is hard, especially if you don’t have exact information about what your friends and family like. And if you make a bad choice, remember that you may also want to play or watch with them.
That’s why, this year, we’ve made it our mission to find gifts that will appeal to people with diverse interests in a wide price range. If you know an aspiring Dungeon Master or Wes Anderson devotee, the latest D&D Starter Set and Criterion’s Gorgeous Box Set are great options to consider. We also have plenty of video game records from the GOTY contender Claire Obscure: Campaign 33 for the notoriously cruel silksong – With a range of suggestions when it comes to TVs, tabletop books, party-friendly board games, vinyl and other pieces of hardware.
