Official Gaming Merchandise and Gamer Gifts

Eight game franchises sit under this page. Super Mario and Minecraft are the two deep ones, followed by Pokemon and Sonic the Hedgehog, with Zelda, Xbox, Dungeons & Dragons and PlayStation thinner. Stationery is the largest category, then posters and framed pictures, homeware such as doormats and cushions, and desk pieces including jumbo desk mats.

Buying for a gamer or for a child who likes the characters?

The two want different things. Someone who plays wants desk and room pieces — a desk mat, a wall poster, a mug that stays by the keyboard. A child who knows the characters from videos or toys is better served by the stationery sets, birthday cards and watches, which is where most of the Minecraft and Mario range actually sits.

Does the game publisher approve this artwork?

Yes. Each franchise is licensed from its publisher, so character models, block textures and logo lockups match the games. On pixel-art properties such as Minecraft that matters more than usual, because a redrawn Creeper is obvious at a glance.

The biggest ranges are Super Mario and Minecraft, or browse all entertainment gifts.
