Geeky gadget gift ideas for Christmas!
Exciting times for the all the “techheads” out there as the silly season approaches, many are embracing the trend of gaming.
The festive season has arrived! And online orders, video games and streaming services continue to thrive in a pandemic world.
With Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X shortages set to continue, there are still plenty of options available. So let’s consider what’s on offer from top tier tech through to those fun little secret Santa gifts.
Content creator and tech reviewer Emily Dalton (1upEmily) jumps in to provide some ideas on ticker gaming this week!
LEGO MEETS NINTENDO
A recent partnership between a couple of toy giants saw the creation of one of this years hottest toys, The Super Mario LEGO collection! A clever take on the adventure game characters merged with the imaginative play that LEGO offers.
The Mario and Luigi starter sets are your first stop. The characters come complete with their iconic sounds and colours in charming LEGO brick bodies.
One of the most impressive things about the series is the integrated lights and sounds that change depending on where the toys are placed and what they jump on.
LIGHT UP YOUR HOME SETUP!
Working from home gave some the opportunity to understand just how unprepared our home office spaces were for a comfortable and well lit experience.
For gamers, getting the perfect set up is part of the process. Decent lighting and themed backgrounds are a must for streamers and content creators looking to stand out and the Nanoleaf breed of lighting options are as fun as they are stylish!
STOCKING FILLERS AND SECRET SANTA
Most workplaces will try to inject at a bit of festive fun into the team, no matter how many employees actually want to participate there’s usually a kris kringle of some sort.
Rushed and ill-prepared gifts are never fun to receive. But! there are some great little pieces out there that won’t break the bank.
Fun ideas that might help put a smile on that one colleagues face, you know the one who you’ve matched with but have no idea what to get them.
FOR THE BIG KIDS AND COLLECTORS
A good game room celebrates the beloved characters and video games that originate from. Posters are quite common but there are some incredibly detailed statues and artwork available.
From big names in anime through to the gaming characters we all know and love. Collectors are always on the lookout for the next limited edition piece to decorate their home and office so keep an eye open if you’re happy to splash out.
Hopefully some ideas have been generated from our geeky gift guide and be sure to tune in and check out more from Ticker gaming and of course be sure to see what Emily Dalton and Team Retro are up to right here!

Nvidia’s £68.1 billion revenue, up 73%, raises investor concerns about AI’s impact and tech customers’ financial health.
Nvidia posted strong quarterly earnings, but Wall Street remained unimpressed, causing shares to fall 5%. Analysts point to investor concerns over AI dominance and a stalled $100 billion deal with OpenAI.
Experts discuss what factors in the earnings report failed to meet market expectations, including revenue projections and details around the Vera Rubin chip architecture. Competition from alternative chipmakers and scrutiny of hyperscaler cash flows are also shaping investor sentiment.
Despite recent setbacks, analysts remain cautiously bullish on Nvidia, highlighting long-term AI potential and the company’s dominant position in the chip market.
