Everyone’s familiar with Monopoly, but the Fornite Edition gives a fresh take on things, seamlessly introducing elements of the video game to the classic board game rules. For example, in Fortnite Monopoly you collect HP, not money, there are loot chests instead of community chests and you can build walls to slow other players down. If you’re a Fortnite-obsessed gamer, you’ll never want to play Monopoly any other way again!

A decent headset is crucial to becoming immersed in the gaming world, and this wireless headset from Turtle Beach is one of the best, hands down. Apart from their excellent sound quality, we love this headset’s amount of personalisation, which can all be done through a windows app. You can customise sound levels of things like explosions, gunshots and wind, to give yourself a bespoke gaming experience. There’s even something called Superhuman Hearing, which helps amplify things like footsteps, so you don’t get flanked on the battlefield.

There’s gaming, then there’s VR gaming. If your giftee is sick of being stuck to a chair or desk while gaming, and wants a more immersive experience, then a VR gaming headset is a great way to go about it. Oculus is the brand that put VR gaming on the map, and the Oculus Quest is one of the best gaming experiences money can buy. With the Quest, a player can swing, shoot, jump, fall and terrify oneself in ways a standard gaming console simply can’t handle. So which gift should you buy? Well, as we mentioned, with gaming fans, sometimes the small, seemingly insignificant gifts can make the biggest impact. So keep that in mind when weighing up prices. However, with that said, if you’re a little unsure and you want to play it safe, you can’t go wrong with a new console. Stay tuned to GetMojo for the most complete video product reviews!
