ExploreGift-giving season has arrived and with it, the challenge of finding the perfect gift. The t-shirt is the ultimate gift for just about anyone. We’ve all got at least one tee we call a favorite. There is a t-shirt for everyone. To make gift-giving a bit easier, we’ve compiled a list of the best t-shirt and accessory gifts for each type of friend.
A Gift For Every Type of Friend
By my keen interpretation of the definition of Urban Dictionary, there are various types of gamers and quite a wide spectrum of those who game. It’s believed by some, that over one-half of the population “games” and is therefore considered a gamer. From Casual-gamer, to hardcore-gamer, from cheat-coder-user to the master of all levels, from mine-craft to resident evil, we are all connected to a gamer. These tees and gifts will be a great choice for that friend of yours. That friend with the ridiculously good eye-hand coordination.
Subset interests of The Gamers: Fallout 4, Skyrim, Undertale, Resident Evil, Portal (1&2), Halo, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, Mario, Legend of Zelda, Half-Life Assassin’s Creed, BioShock, Dark Souls…

The closet gamer remains on the spectrum of “the gamer” but tends to fly under the radar. The closet gamer either denies or ever-so-slightly hides his or her choice pastime of gaming. Likely, you knew your friend a while before you found out they were into gaming. The best gifts for closet gamers are a little more subtle but show their pride and represent their truest selves nonetheless. Note: Often the best way to spot a closet gamer, is that they will be incredibly good at thumb wrestling with no obvious explanation:
Subset interests of The Closet Gamers: Same as the gamers above but they might not advertise it.

For the Harry Potter fanatics and the game of throne junkies. It might appear they already have every piece of fan-boy memorabilia a person can buy, but that’s never the case.

Your friend, the Computer Nerd speaks in terms you don’t always understand. That’s ok. It’s easy to forgive the guy that troubleshoots your computer and rids your device of all evil viruses.
