Hearts day is fast approaching, and with the special day comes special gifts for your special someone.
If you can’t decide on what gift to get your partner, best friend, or significant other for Valentine’s Day, here are a few ideas tailored for those who love watching esports and playing video games.
Got a crush on a gamer? Here are 10 Valentine’s Day gifts you can give them
- A Funko Pop of their favorite character
- A co-op game to play together
- A game-related t-shirt
- An esports jersey
- Some flashy jewelry
- A legendary skin for their favorite character
- A home-made cake
- A stay at a video game-themed hotel
- A new console
- A gaming chair
A Funko Pop of their favorite character
Funko Pop vinyl figurines make a great gift because they’re cute, detailed, and small enough to sit on your favorite gamer’s desk. Funko has collaborated with almost every popular game series, including Apex Legends, Overwatch, Dota 2, League of Legends, Street Fighter, and Genshin Impact so they’re sure to have something they want.
A co-op game to play together
Nothing says quality time like playing a co-op game together with your special someone.
Titles like Portal 2, Cuphead, or Spaceteam can be digitally gifted and played together whether you’re in the same room or thousands of miles apart. Just don’t give them Overcooked — that game destroys relationships.
A game-related t-shirt
Yes, it’s a stereotype, but it’s true, the typical gamer wardrobe consists of nothing but graphic tees and one pair of jeans.
From time to time, Japanese clothing brand Uniqlo would collaborate with different video game brands and companies, some of which included Fortnite, Blizzard Entertainment, and Dragon Ball.
If you’re looking for League of Legends shirts, the official Riot Games Store sells plenty of designs that range from champions to skins.
An esports jersey
If you want to help them diversify their wardrobe, why not get them an official esports jersey from their favorite team?

Some flashy jewelry
Jewelry has been a symbol of the unending bond between couples for thousands of years. Also, it’s shiny.
Riot Games once released a Valentine’s Day merchandise collection, and it included a Xayah and Rakan set of matching bracelets. The accessories feature the pair’s respective Vastaya feathers. They also come in premium boxes with pull-out notecards that say “To My Rakan/Xayah.”
Alternatively, if you’re not a LoL fan, Fangamer sells a collection of video-game-themed jewelry.
A legendary skin of their favorite character
Some gamers refuse to pay money for cosmetic items like skins. If you know someone like that, why not buy them a premium skin of their favorite hero or champion?
Some of our favorites include the transforming DJ Sona from League of Legends, Frost Avalanche Crystal Maiden from Dota 2, and Shieldmaiden Brigitte from Overwatch.
A home-made cake
They say the way to a gamer’s heart is through their stomach. Or something like that.
Put in the extra effort this Valentine’s Day and bake them a cake. Here’s a Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (BotW) cake, which we made with a heaping cup of love and three tablespoons of happiness.
Here is the actual recipe and instructions on how you can make it yourself.
A stay at a video game-themed hotel
Japanese hotel chain Mimaru launched its Pokemon-themed hotel rooms all throughout popular cities in the land of the rising sun in 2019.
Stepping inside one of these rooms is like a dream come true for every Pokemon trainer. The hotels are located in some parts of Tokyo and Kyoto.
A new gaming console
The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Aloha Nintendo Switch edition was once all the rage among Nintendo fans, and getting this baby to give to your bae might just be the cutest (and most expensive) thing to do for hearts day.
A gaming chair
Secretlab‘s gaming chairs make the ideal gift for any gamer or streamer in your life. They’re available in a wide variety of styles, including game-specific designs, like these Overwatch chairs.
Because nothing says I love you like better back posture.
