Winter holidays are around the corner! I picked out some gift ideas for cozy gamers. I looked for gift ideas that fit the “cozy” aesthetic, as well as stuff that is reviewed 4 stars or higher on Amazon. In my opinion, the cozy aesthetic can be quite varied: pastel, cottagecore, minimalist, or cute. It can also, quite simply, be fan merchandise for popular cozy games like Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing.
I haven’t tried all of these items myself but I picked stuff that I would love to receive as a gift. If there is any item you want me to review specifically, ping me on social media and I’ll see what I can do!

1. Stardew Valley Tumbler
I don’t need another tumbler, I don’t need another tumbler, I don’t need…
This Stardew Valley tumbler comes in a few different styles, each with a different “hot drink” stats card from the game! Love this.
2. Stardew Valley Mug
This Stardew Valley coffee mug is legitimately on my wishlist for this year. I am obsessed. And I always have room for a new mug in the cupboard. What flavor tea should I buy to go with it?
3. Stardew Valley Junimo Plush
I am a full grown adult with a plushie collection. Zero shame. Personally, I collect Eeveelution stuffies but this Junimo Plush is perfect for the Stardew Valley fanatic in your social circle.
4. Stardew Valley Board Game
The Stardew Valley board game works as a gift for board game fans or Stardew Valley fans. There needs to be more cooperative (as opposed to competitive) board game options like this one. There! I said it!
5. GeekShare Nintendo Switch Teddy Case
I love the idea of a soft/fuzzy Nintendo Switch case. It will make holding your Switch more cozy when you are dumping 16 straight hours into redecorating your Animal Crossing island. And just look at its little toe beans!
6. GUTIAL Pink Nintendo Switch Accessory Kit
I love that this comes with everything you need to accessorize your Nintendo Switch. And in my favorite color: pink! The little paw and flower button caps are to die for.
7. ROTALL Strawberry Nintendo Switch Carrying Case
Sorry, one more pink Switch accessory! I had to! Look how cute it is! This has “summer cozy” vibes for sure but I would use it year round regardless. Are strawberries objectively the cutest fruit? I say yes.
8. Britimes Boho Mouse Pad (Large)
This mouse pad is too big for my desk or else I would already own it. The boho style has been popping up more and more in popular cozy gamer setups. It pairs well with a little leafy plant and some stacked books.
9. Mechanical Cattle Froggy Mouse Pad
Cottagecore cozy is winning me over a little bit more every day. I love the color green and I love frogs. Check out the mushroom mugs later on down this list—they would match perfectly.
10. Red Dragon LED Gaming Mouse
White with neon LED is such a vibe. One day, I hope to deck out a whole home office in this style. One day… (sobs in millennial renter)
11. Lomiluskr Bunny Mouse
Okay so this might not be great for serious gaming but I love love love this pink bunny mouse. It’s a great novelty device and a cute stocking stuffer idea.
12. Yunzii “Typewriter” Keyboard
This is so cute that I wish I had a desktop rather than a laptop. I am a writer (professional and hobbyist) so this typewriter keyboard really speaks to me. Pastel green is so cozy, too.
13. Mofii Mouse and Keyboard (Powder Blue)
Having a matching cozy keyboard and mouse combo is the dream. I love the mismatched key colors and the round cap style. It reminds me of candy (intrusive thought: bite it).
14. Huo Ji LED Keyboard
Can you tell I’m obsessed with dreamy pastels? I love the gradient color scheme on this keyboard, as well as the soft LED backlight.
15. Mushroom Tea Mug
This mushroom tea mug is in my Amazon cart as we speak, I’m just trying to decide between the red one or the green one. It would be the perfect counterpart to the froggy mouse pad above!
16. Mushroom Cold Drink Glass
I prefer cold coffee to hot coffee, so this mushroom water glass was made for me. The little bamboo lid is so cute, too (see product link)!
17. Dokotoo Fuzzy Fleece
I work from home and this sweater cloak is such a vibe. The hood is adorable, too. Grey is my personal favorite but it comes in other colors.
18. Nintendo Store Animal Crossing Socks
These Animal Crossing ankle socks are insanely cute. I only wish they had more character options! It’s official Nintendo merchandise, too.
19. Controller Gear Animal Crossing Mini Backpack
I am a backpack and bag addict. I have one for every reason and every season. This cute little Animal Crossing backpack is perfect for carrying all your bells and acorns.
20. Ravensburger Animal Crossing Jigsaw Puzzle
This is another item I am seriously thinking about buying for myself. I love jigsaw puzzles. They are so cozy and relaxing. An Animal Crossing puzzle? Even better!
21. Funko Pop Pokemon Advent Calendar
No matter what you think about Funko Pops, Pokemon are perfect for this format. This Pokemon Funko advent calendar lets you open a box per day to reveal a tiny toy from December 1st to 24th!
22. Chwares Cat Night Light
I own this lamp and I’m obsessed. You pat it to change the color of the light. It’s battery operated so it can sit anywhere, not necessarily near an outlet. I have it on my bookcase!
23. BerniceKelly Cloud LED Lamp
I love it when cozy game setups have a tasteful LED lamp hung on the wall. Sky themes are my favorite: clouds, stars, sun, or moon.
24. Auelife Fall Candles
I can’t light candles anymore because my cat tries to play with the flame. But these scents really piqued my interest. Cinnamon and pumpkin sounds amazing. What do you think “cozy season” smalls like?
25. Wax & Wit Pumpkin Spice Candle
I would feel like a cozy gift failure if I didn’t include something pumpkin spice flavored. 50 hour burn time is insane, too! Let me know if you try it and find that to be accurate.
26. Buy Them a Game!
Honestly, we’re all gamers here! Why not just buy them a game? You can easily gift a game on Steam or buy them a hard copy for their console of choice. Here are some game lists I recommend checking out for ideas:
- Cozy Farming Sims
- Cozy Games That Aren’t Farming Sims
- Cozy Games Like Animal Crossing
- Cozy Games Rated Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam
- Cozy Games for Mac
- Cozy Games on Nintendo Switch
- Cozy Games that are Story Driven
Conclusion
There’s nothing quite like getting a gift that perfectly fits your interests and aesthetic. These are my gift ideas for cozy gamers. They are all items that I would love to receive myself (some I already own) or stuff that I have researched enough that I would feel comfortable gifting it to a close friend.
Stay cozy, gamers!
