We recently shared a non-gaming gift guide for teens and as promised, here is a gaming/gadget inspired gift guide for kids/teens and adults as well. In this guide, we showcase the JOBY Beamo™ Ring Light which is a must-have if you already own a JOBY GorillaPod.
This is followed closely by two other gaming headsets, the first is Edifier G2II Pink Cat Ear Gaming Headset and the Puro Quiet Active Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headphone which are a must-have if you are looking for a noise-cancelling headset that the whole family can share.
Next, we share about the GameSir X2 Bluetooth Mobile Gaming Controller which easily attaches to the phone and can be used for cloud gaming as well as Studio Creator Deluxe for Youtuber and TikTokers. Finally, the Powerstation Mini is a must-have to help you charge your devices when you run out of juice.
Keep scrolling for the purchase links and we do hope that we have helped you get all your gift buying sorted for the ones you love. We have two more guides to release, so stay tuned.
JOBY Beamo™ Ring Light
If you have a TikToker or Youtuber at home who is already a JOBY fan then the new Beamo™ Led Ring Light would be the perfect gift to get them this Christmas.
Purchased as an additional accessory to an existing kit, it is important to note that the ring light does not come with a tripod or phone clamp (hence the person you are gifting to needs to already own a JOBY GorillaPod).
We all know how important ring light is, especially when you are either vlogging, creating beauty videos, taking selfies or live streaming/chatting with friends. The LED light offers the perfect lighting condition for influencers wannabe as well as mums and dads who need to make video calls from home.
The ring light allows users the option to switch between three colour temperatures and 10 brightness levels. Priced at £19.96 you can purchase the Beamo™ Ring Light here in time for Christmas.
Edifier G2II Pink Cat Ear Gaming Headset
If you have a teenager at home, then most likely they are a gaming fan, hence the Edifier G2II Pink Cat Ear Gaming Headset would be a fabulous gift item to give them this Christmas. This headset can be used as it is or you could add the detachable cat ear shape (which is provided and can be stuck on using sticky pads) which makes it ultra-cool for girls. If you want to pass the gift on to younger siblings who are boys, then we would recommend getting the black headset instead.
All gamers would tell you that high-quality audio with a balanced soundscape and bass is paramount for the player to be fully immersed in the game and this headset provides that. A good point to note is that although the gaming headset is compatible with Mac devices, the 7.1 surround sound software isn’t and is only compatible on Windows 7/8/10 devices.
The headset also comes with RGB LED lighting (which looks attractive at night or in the dark) that rotates on the earcup areas. This can be disabled if you prefer not to have it on. The earcups sit on the outside of the ear hence very comfy to wear for long periods of time.
The headset’s cable comes in a length of 2.5m which seems like the right length if you are connected to the PC. This lightweight headset is priced at £49.99 and is a great gift idea this Christmas. We have featured the pink headphones (which is the right shade as it still looks cool and not too overly girlie pink), these are also available in black here.
GameSir X2 Bluetooth Mobile Gaming Controller
The GameSir X2 Bluetooth version is the latest mobile gaming controller which is compatible with both Android and iOS mobile devices. This is another smart game controller which is perfect for cloud gaming, and iOS users will be able to enjoy Apple Arcade and MFi games.
I love how easily it is attached to my phone (which both my kids use) and the soft rubber grips are comfortable to hold. Such a great way for kids to still enjoy the gaming experience using the controller and the mobile phone when they are travelling or out and about.
Hollow Knight, 8 Heroes, Atari Flashback Classics and Cat Quest are just some of the cloud games that run smoothly on this device. I do love that the smartphone is easy to attach and detach from the controller. The carrying case also means that it is easy to transport the controller in backpacks and suitcases. It also comes with a Type-C Cable and the User Manual
The X2 gaming controller support phones up to 173mm in length and is equipped with esports class joysticks, comparable to professional-level controllers. You also don’t need to worry about your phone overheating as there is gap to ensure air circulation. The GameSir X2 Bluetooth which has a powerful long-life 500mAh battery is priced at $59.99, you can purchase your set here. Do note that they can deliver to more than 180 countries and regions in the world including the UK.
Studio Creator Deluxe
As parents, we want to encourage our children to be the best they can be, even if they want to be the next influencer or TikToker. Giving them the right equipment is so important to get them on the right path, hence we are sharing with you Canal Toys’ Studio Creator Deluxe that can help your teen create professional content to share online.
Priced at £39.99, this is available from Smyths Toys for just SRP £39.99 which is reasonable as the box includes a 2Mx2M Green Screen (to create the perfect backdrop), a Tripod with adjustable height of up to 1M, a cellphone holder compatible with IOS and Android, an LED Ring Light with 3 light modes and RGB multicolour mode, a Selfie Light 8.5cm as well as a guidebook to help you understand how to use this.
This also easily packs away into the box, hence saving you storage space. If creating, editing and sharing content on social media is important for your teen, then the Studio Creator Deluxe is going to make it even more fun for them.
Puro Quiet Active Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headphone
The Puro Quiet Active Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headphone was created when the founder’s daughter was diagnosed with noise-induced hearing loss. He soon set out to create a headphone that was not only stylish but safe for children to use.
As a parent myself, one thing I often worry about is the volume of my children’s headphones when they are on the tablet or computer, hence with this noise cancelling feature, they can watch their favourite show without increasing the volume beyond the safe sound listening levels and it is suitable even for little ones. The wireless feature also means that you don’t have to worry about kids stumbling or choking when they are using the headphone.
Made from high-quality aluminium, the wireless headphones (with a 30-foot range) allow kids to listen to music or take calls while gaming with friends. It has up to 16-hours of active battery life and comes with a superior listening experience in even the loudest of environments thanks to its active noise cancellation features.
The battery life on these headphones is excellent as your child can enjoy up to 22 hours of non-ANC playtime. Puro lightweight headphones retail from Amazon for £102.88 with a one-year warranty period. The price is hefty but really worth it if you are looking for a quality and safe product for your kids this Christmas.
Powerstation Mini (Fabric)
If your teen, is anything like me where I have every single social media app installed on my phone and I am constantly on it especially when I head out for a day trip to Manchester and often find that I have run out of battery at the crucial moment of ringing home, then this Powerstation Mini from Zagg is the solution to your every problem.
The Powerstation lets you charge your devices from just about anywhere. There is a tiny button on the side of the Powerstation and you need to press this to charge the device. This is important as when I was trying to charge my mobile phone, I did not notice the button and was wondering why my phone was not charging. The Powerstation provides up to 36 hours of power and there are four integrated LED light that displays the charging status and current battery life, so you always know how much power you have left.
The Powerstation Mini comes with a premium fabric finish which adds style and prevents scuffs and scratches. This retails for £39.95 and is available in black, navy blue and grey.

This makes me feel so old, as everything is so ‘tech’ based! The children and teenagers these days have so many incredible devices, games and experiences using technology that is really is amazing 🙂
I agree, so much more choices than we had when we were young
These are great gaming gadget gifts for Christmas. I really do love the sound of the mobile gaming controller. That looks great. I’d need to look into that for a gift for my son as he’s often using my husbands phone to play games so this would be perfect.
Great as it connects to Cloud games and only needs a mobile phone
These are some great ideas, I love the look of the headphones as well – we seem to get through so many pairs here as well.
I agree, and the best part, they can be shared as well
I can see a few items here that I will definitely be picking up for Christmas presents! Jack would love the Studio Deluxe and gaming controller and Olivia would love that headset!
Such great choices, glad you liked them
I love the pink ct ear gaming headset! My neices would love a pair!
Those are just too cool
Brilliant ideas bere! Love the colour of the headphones. The Studio Creator Deluxe looks perfect for all the young Tik Tokers out there
I absolutely agree, two fabulous items for teens indeed
As a teen, I always loved my headphones. I used to go through so many bad ones during the year, so receiving a high quality pair on Christmas would have been such a great gift. The light ring is now a necessity for every teen, that would make a fantastic gift as well.
I agree, having a good earphone is so important and the light feature is so cool
I always find it so hard to buy gifts for teenagers. thanks for the inspiration.
