Don't know what to get your Gamer Mum this Mother's Day?

in #gaming6 years ago

In preparation for Mother's Day coming up tomorrow, we put together a list of gift ideas you could get for a Mum that plays video games.


Females take up the minority when it comes to gaming, so having a mother that understands what it's like to game is a rare thing. Imagine a world where your mum understands you can't pause an online game! Times are changing and the stereotypes for gamers have largely changed as well. Those that were hardcore gamers in their childhood and as adolescents are growing up and starting families now, making way for the next generations of gamers. Many of those gaming parents still find time to indulge in their love for gaming and it can often be a lot of fun to game with your parents.

My dad was the catalyst for getting me into gaming when I was a kid and he even recently played his first game of Fortnite. But my mum was never a gamer, she played Tetris back in the day but that was as far as she got. I know that when I have a family of my own I will definitely be a 'Gamer Mum' and I will be proud to hold that title and pass on my passion. So for all those gaming Mothers out there right now, what would they be getting for Mother's Day? And I don't mean mobile gaming where your mum got obsessed with Candy Crush that time either. If your mum is a 'Gamer Mum' here are some things you could get her for Mother's Day:

For the Old School gamer with a sweet tooth


Super Mario Cookie Jar

If she's scary in the morning before her coffee



Super Mario Boo Mug. Available from Zing and Think Geek

For when she wants to Snorlax



Snorlax Bean Bag. Available from Zing

Anyone for mum's famous Hyrule Pie?



Legend of Zelda Rolling Pin. Available from Think Geek

Or would you choose this one?



Pikachu Cake Pan. Available from Think Geek

Because she's your mum for life



8-Bit Heart Watch. Available from Think Geek

She will thank you when the world ends



Nuka Cola Bottle Opener. Available from Think Geek

You were probably going to get her a boring robe anyway

Pop Culture and Gaming can often intertwine, if she's a proud nerd, have a look at some of these.

Black Panther Handbag. Available from Think Geek and Zing

If the Force is strong with her

If she is less into the gimmicky gifts and would rather something she might actually use, try one of these bad boys.

She's not a regular Mum, She's a Console Mum



PlayStation Dual Shock Candy Pink. Available from Play Station


Xbox Dawn Shadow. Available from Xbox

For the PC Master Mum



Razer Quartz. Available from Razer


HyperX Cloud ll Pink. Available from PC Case Gear


Of course in the end, like you, she would probably be very happy with a game. Consider something you could play together or take something from her wishlist.

Happy Mother's Day!

These would also all be good gifts for your girlfriend or wife for other occasions as well. That Snorlax beanbag seems like it would be right up my fiancee's alley, haha. Sadly, my mom only plays god damn facebook games, and I'm not contributing to that, lol.

My mum has an addiction to Farmville lol #justplayharvestmooninstead

Yeah, mine was into that too for awhile. Now she plays slotomania and candy crush. Not really any better, lol.

Those slot ones are the worst!

Just wait till we have blockchain games on Steemit lol

I'm sure it will happen one day as this technology advances :)

I'm 98 percent sure someone already had made one about 8 or 9 months ago, but you couldn't pull your SBD's/Steem out of it and could only put it in. It didn't take off really though obviously, lol.

Really, well it was a win/win for the developer then lol

Indeed! Those facebook game invites from your mum... never ending. Who doesn't love it atleast 5 times a day? haha

Those Game of Thrones Book Ends look sick, I haven't even sat down to watch the show yet but that's a nice piece. #2019goals #mustwatch

Definitely watch the show, I think the last season is coming out in 2019 and it should be a ripper!

Ooh love the eggy bookend! But most of all, I want the giant Snorlax!

I may want to get the snorlax myself to be honest haha

I don't blame you! How comfortable would it be to lie on / hug that big guy :D

Now I am thinking... maybe i'll just settle and have two of them. Sandwich snorlax hug haha

Happy Mother's day friend :)
