12 Days of Christmas: Shopping Sidequest

Merry Holidays, everyone!

I’m very excited to be a part of a special Christmas Collaboration hosted by Kim over at Later Levels. For the next 12 days, a number of fine bloggers will be answering one Christmas-y question every day and keeping us all in the holiday spirit. I think I’ve sufficiently recovered from Mass Effect Month to start another challenge, so here we go!

On the first day of Christmas Collab, Kim asked of me: You need to choose a gift for someone special and go online to check out the video game item catalogue. Who is this person and what present would you select for them?

What are the holidays without a little shopping, right? Well, not so long ago I made a short list of fantastic items any gamer might love to find under their Christmas menorah or Chanukah tree (yes, I’m doing this on purpose), and I know Kim had some great gift ideas as well. Still not enough?

I actually don’t have many friends in the physical world who are as into video games and other geeky things as much as I am. While they are always polite and sort of interested when I talk about games or Star Wars or whatever, they’re not into it enough that I’d go out of my way to get them something gaming related.

So… my my illusive friend BadgersAndBowties would be the only one who would appreciate a gaming-themed gift. While we usually exchange geeky gifts and I could rattle off some of the real things we’ve gotten each other, like Game of Thrones-themed shot glasses or small statuettes of Tali, let’s pretend I had unlimited funds and could go and break the bank with my gift, shall we?

Boom.

If I had the money, I’d totally gift a Playstation VR set and Star Trek: Bridge Crew to my friend. It’s something I think she’d have wild amounts of fun with. I know when I first saw it I was in the throes of Andromeda, and I remember thinking how cool it would be to actually have a “hands on” experience of actually flying a space ship and exploring space. And, c’mon, it’s Star Trek. There’s no doubt in my mind that my friend would love being Captain Jean-Luc BadgersAndBowties.

What about you? If you had unlimited funds, what would be the one gift you would give to someone? Let me know in the comments!
