Gift-giving can be one of the most challenging things to do during the holidays. There are a lot of factors to consider. You want the receiver to enjoy their present, but you also need to make sure it isn’t something they already have. It is common for people to already own many of the top games on the market if they can afford them, so it is good to have a backup plan when buying for them. With that in mind, here are some great gifts to buy for an Xbox fan this holiday season that aren’t necessarily video games.

Best holiday gifts for Xbox gamers
Elite Series 2 controller
This is a gift for the truly serious Xbox fan. While the price on the Elite Series 2 is a bit hefty, this is undoubtedly the best controller on the market and will work on either an Xbox One or the newer Xbox Series X. The thumbsticks and directional pad can be easily swapped out with included parts, and this is the only official Xbox controller to come with a rechargeable battery and a charger stand in its case.
Forza Horizon 5 license plate frame
If you are shopping for a car and racing fan, Forza Horizon 5 should be on your list if the gift receiver has an Xbox. Assuming they are that serious about racing and likely will already have the game, you can grab this license plate cove to show their love for the game.
Game Pass Ultimate gift card
We know that gift cards are not generally that exciting of a gift, but when it comes to Game Pass, we would accept it every Christmas. With Game Pass Ultimate, your Xbox fan gets to download and stream all Xbox-exclusive games day one, as well as hundreds of other titles from big and small developers. This will allow them to really broaden their gaming horizons.
Halo Infinite art book
Halo Infinite was a big step forward for the series on a gameplay front, but the art is pretty impressive too. This book lets the gift receiver get a closer look at many of the aspects of the game from a design perspective.
Halo Infinite Master Chief action figure
Master Chief has been the most iconic Xbox video game character since day one 20 years ago. That is why it is so perfect that Halo Infinite releases this December. Outside of getting the Halo fan a game, this really good-looking action figure will take up some shelf space beautifully.
Xbox fleece robe
The best way to enjoy your gaming is when you are lounging and comfortable. If that’s not enough, you can also wear this Xbox robe around your house on those lazy days.
Xbox franchise Funko Pop!
For an easy collectible that many people enjoy, you cannot go wrong with a Funko Pop! vinyl figure. These little statues are relatively affordable and are sure to have a set themed for your favorite franchise. Funkos that you might find based on Xbox franchises include Halo, Gears of War, and Cuphead, apart from the countless other franchises you will surely be able to find.
Xbox light
Any Xbox fan will enjoy lighting up their room with the glow from this Xbox logo light. This is the same look as the button for turning on their console or controller, and the light is adaptable. It runs on either battery or USB power and can be wall-mounted or stand on its own.
Xbox socks
Socks are an easy stocking stuffer or a cheaper gift option. If you have an Xbox fan you are buying for, might as well let them rep the brand with these black and green socks.
Xbox stereo headset
If the person you are buying for is in the market for a headset, we highly recommend the Xbox branded stereo headset. This is one of the best headsets we have come across for the Xbox Series X/S. Whether you go with the wired or the wireless version, you are going to get a high-quality headset for a decent price at retail.
