Posted by Justin Grainger on
Coming up blank for Christmas gift ideas that don’t directly correlate with more screen time? Feel like your kids will be disappointed if you get them anything other than video games? Having a twinge of regret over that Nintendo Switch you caved on and bought last Christmas? Well, stress no more: you have options! Video game gear, accessories, and character toys are all gifts that are guaranteed to please, and won’t make you feel guilty about encouraging too much screen time. After all, everything in moderation, right? Here are our favorite Nintendo Switch inspired gifts to surprise and delight your child this Christmas.
Boys Mario Classic Costume
Everybody loves Mario! This game is so much fun to play, it can’t be ascribed to just one generation - Mario is for everyone. Part of the fun of the Super Mario universe is that it is home to so many beloved (and not so beloved) characters. But we think this classic Mario costume will be treasured by any child, regardless of their gender. Mario!
Super Mario Rosalina Deluxe Costume for Girls
Rosalina is an especially fun character to play as in Mario Party, especially the revamped Switch version. Rosalina always has a positive attitude, and she is never a sore loser. Our Rosalina costume is a perfect addition to your child’s dress-up wardrobe, and who knows? It might make an appearance at the grocery store or on a playdate, too.
Minecraft Creeper Costume Hoodie Kids
It’s a costume, but it’s also a wardrobe staple. Once you’ve seen this Minecraft creeper hooded sweatshirt, you’ll realize you’ve probably been seeing it everywhere. Minecraft has broken ground in the educational video game space, and if your child is one of the millions who love it, chances are they’ll love cozying up in this hoodie too.
Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild Link Deluxe Costume for Boys
Legend of Zelda has been reinvented so many times, it’s hard to keep track of the fifteen official games since the original’s release. But one that made quite a splash was Breath of the Wild, which coincided with the release of the Nintendo Switch itself. Your child might not yet be old enough for Breath of the Wild, but maybe you played and adored it already, and can’t wait to show them when they’re older. Regardless, this Breath of the Wild Link costume is a classic in the making.
Nintendo Super Mario Yoshi Plush Backpack
Yoshi is unmistakable to children everywhere, even those who don’t play video games. He’s cute, he’s loyal, and he’s always up for an adventure. This Yoshi backpack will double as a cozy stuffed animal for your child as well as their very own backpack where they can stash their favorite things. Plus, the Yoshi backpack goes perfectly with the Mario and Rosalina costumes on this list, as well as the rest of our Super Mario Bros collection.
