The holidays are coming, and buying gifts for everyone can be overwhelming. Luckily, Geek Girl Authority is here to help you through the hectic holiday shopping. We have gathered some of the coolest accessories for the Nintendo Switch gamer in your life. 

Cases and Skins

Petimint makes all sorts of Kawaii accessories for Switch, Lite, and OLED. Is your Switch gamer an animal lover? Petimint has adorable thumb grips for everything from kitties to cows. The site will soon be releasing a new holiday collection featuring Stardew Valley. I just grabbed this Snowboy case to use until the new holiday collection drops. Oh, and they even have cute and cozy sweaters featuring some iconic games. Keep that gamer in your life cute and warm; it’s a win-win.

For more endless Switch customization options, visit Sticky Bunny. They have a good selection of case and skin designs, especially in the Kawaii category. From personal experience, these skins fit the Nintendo systems like a glove, are high quality and last forever. Check out their website for maximum cuteness overload.

Here is another site with kawaii-style stuff because I cannot help myself. This is the last one, I promise. GeekShare offers a vast selection of some of the absolute cutest Switch cases, grips and bags out there. The adorable bags set this site apart from the others; shop all of their cuteness on Amazon

Finally, some options that aren’t all about Kawaii. Lux Skins will wrap your Switch and other devices with just about anything. This site is excellent if you are shopping for a variety of styles. They have characters, solids, patterns — pretty much anything you can imagine. As a bonus, they also skin most other systems, so you can grab something for all the gamers on your list.

Controllers 

For the truly unique player, check out these cool controllers by 8Bitdo. This company offers the broadest range of interesting controllers. Go with retro SNES style or change things up with a mini controller (they are so tiny and cute). Grab the mini controller on Amazon for your tiny-handed gamer friend.

PowerA has a massive selection of licensed  Switch controllers and accessories. Grab the Gamecube-style controller on Amazon so your Switch gamer can relive the glory days. Or try a bundle with a carrying case, controller, and comfort grip. Any gamer would love a bundle like that for the holidays, and it’s one-stop shopping for you.

PDP offers wired and wireless controllers for the Nintendo Switch in various fun designs and colors. Choose a controller featuring your favorite character, like Super Mario or Link. Or go for something more flashy, literally. Their Afterglow controller has a clear case and lights up like pretty lights on a Christmas Tree. Most gamers are suckers for lights, including me. Check out their collection here on Amazon.

Gift Cards

Every gamer has a neverending game wishlist. Instead of guessing which games they have or want, get them some Nintendo Eshop credit. Grab an online code or head to the gift card section of your nearest retailer. This way, they can get exactly what they want, easy peasy.
